Newest Project

Good COLD morning to all my blogger friends.  We have been spoiled in our area because May was such a beautifully warm month, we thought we would see more of it in June....Not thus far....The main thing is if we have our health we shouldn't complain.

Sharing my newest mat.  "Spreading Fish" has been a huge success for me and I thought I would change this one and include Men. 

Hope you like it.

Checking In

Good Morning from Newfoundland, Canada.  Times are busy but enjoyable here. 

Last week, I canned Chili and Herring and am quite pleased that they both were very tasty.  Just getting ready for Hay Making time to have some quick foods available...

Of course I am busy at my rug hooking...I don't mind the wet days because then I can hook away and not feel guilty about NOT going outside. 

I have sent off four  pieces of my  work to a Museum in Nova Scotia, Canada, for display and on consignment.  Keeping my fingers crossed that I will receive a few nice comments.  :) 

This is a picture of one I am working on at the present time.  Please ignore those scribbles and scratches...that is the way I work...I make changes as I hook.  Sometimes it is difficult to see a certain part of my work and I have to go by guess...:0) However, persistence is my second name and I like challenges.  

Enjoy your day, everyone, and thanks for dropping by...

Spring Time is "Busy Time"

Spring has arrived early here in Newfoundland, Canada, at least where I live on the Burin Peninsula.  Vegetable Planting time and Lamb time... Sharing a few pictures of such..

Those containers, 20 each, contain  Onions and Carrots...the other some of the 40 drills of Potatoes that we have planted so far...Hopefully, I will be able to post some pictures later of the progress....

Custom Order

It is a very busy time of year for us being the Lambing Season but it is such a refreshing time to suck that nice Spring air into the lungs on nice days.

A customer of mine whose Dad was a very talented Singer/Entertainer and who, unfortunately, passed away in December month, asked me to hook a mat for her of a "Kitchen Sing Along". We, Newfoundlanders, have a habit of entertaining our families in our own houses and more especially, years gone by, in our Kitchens. I guess because it was the warmest place as there was just a wood stove and the doors were normally closed to the other areas of the house; thus, very, very cold bedrooms. BUT, there were plenty of warm and heavy quilts on each bed, so that made up for any discomfort before crawling into them.

This is the result. Hope you enjoy looking at it... This is Kim, the daughter and her Mom, Madeline, displaying the mat when they came to pick it up.

Spring Has Sprung

Yes, People, Spring has Sprung in Lord's Cove and this is the proof....such a wonderful sight this time of year...Aren't they just little beauties? Two sets of twins so far....will keep you posted on their arrival...
