Housecleaning

Well, I decided to paint my ceilings some time ago and after seeing the paint sit there for three weeks I thought "I may as well "tackle" this job, which I hate because I am not a good painter...I remember those words from my DH as I load my paint roller....."make sure you have lots of paint on the roller" ...I take his word for it and Lo and Behold, when I raise the roller to the ceiling, I get splattered with the darned stuff...If I had known that, I would not have spent a bunch of money on having my hair hilited on Thursday...I could have saved myself the money and effort of going to a hairdresser and would have had a hair style that anyone would love to have....Besides the mess, my poor body is aching all over as if I were run over by a tractor and to think I have three more ceilings to go...
Surely no time for my favorite past time "hooking".

"EASTER WEEKEND"

I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter Weekend as much as my husband & I....there is nothing more important than having Family around, especially at this very important time of the year for us which is " Lambing Season"... We had a "bumper" crop this year with all twins, triplets and one quadruplet....all have finished lambing and for 16 sheep, we have a total of 33 surviving babies... two hundred percent isn't too bad, which is wonderful...We are blessed this year. After last year's bad crop, we did not know what to expect....I want to share a few pictures with you of our Grandchildren, Liam & Alena, who adore the animals, although in the third picture I think Liam was thinking the lamb was going to charge at him....:)

The second is Liam playing in the hay stall...he sure enjoyed it and it was a joy to watch him...can't say how the sheep felt about it though..

The first is our grand daughter, Alena, feeding an orphan lamb. We had him stationed in the Garage in our hay cart for a few days; however, he is gone to the barn with the rest of his family now...

Another Framed Mat

I have to share this great picture with you all.....I think the frame does wonders on our work...this is a mat titled "Hay Making in Outport Newfoundland" that I hooked some time in the past and my cousin {who is very artistic with acrylic painting} bought at Christmas time and he had it framed....I like it VERY MUCH.....

Blog Total

I am really excited today....my blog has hit the 5000 mark...Thanks to all of you who have looked in on me.. I like looking at others as well....Sometimes I do not blog...it is because there is not much interesting to say... {I think someone else at some point said the same thing}... I would appreciate your all continuing to look in every now and again and even leave a little comment... :)

My day is busy today with bread baking, hooking in between and visiting the barn to check on the little newcomers. We have two more sets of triplets added to the flock...It is such a Marvellous day today...I guess a "brewer" for the freezing rain and snow tomorrow...Keep our fingers crossed that we will not have another power outage...we don't miss electricity until it goes; I guess it is the same for other things in our lives; therefore, we should always appreciate what we have....

Freezing Rain

Even though freezing rain is not great....especially when one is in the middle of canning "Pepper Steak" and the power goes out for two hours....BLAH!!!, this picture shows the beauty of it...Everything is coated with ice and the seas are really, really high....but I know there are a large number of people would give anything to see this sight....enjoy!!

New Design

My latest design is done from a photograph I took some time ago of our Church & Community Hall. As our "Come Home Year" celebrations are being held this year in August, I decided I would hook a few mats of things concerning my community.

I post this picture with a heavy heart today because it is my dear Mother-in-Law's Birthday; she would have been 92 years old today. Each time I designed a new mat, I would take it to let her see what I had done and of course, she always marveled at my work. She was very proud of the fact that she taught me how to hook many years ago, and I am so appreciative of that. According to her, there was never a thing I could change to make it look better. I hope she can still see what I am doing....R.I.P. dear Mother.....

SPRING

We know when "Spring has sprung" when we see this beautiful sight...It is indeed a busy time for my DH and I because of those little critters coming along and it is a wonderful feeling....the sound of those little innocent lambs makes one's heart flutter...At this time, we have a set of twin and two sets of triplets; a good start being that last season the first sheep that lambed borned five lambs and all were still born...these sights are very disheartening....let's hope we continue to have good luck with them this year but more especially for the mother's.
