Oh for the advise of our founding fathers today! And I use the word today in a broad way meaning this time period of ours. I don't want to get political on this blog, because that is not what I started it for, but I do want to take a minute and just say that we need to pray for our country! And we need to not be afraid to do it. I think our government tries to make things to complicated, and likes to keep us all confused. We need to stand up for good old fashioned principles, the kind this country was founded on. We also need to let our leaders know that they work for us and we surround them. I just hope we can all wake up and be the "united" in the USA before it's to late.
On a happier note, I finally feel like spring is right around the corner. We cleaned up the storm damage in the yard yesterday. It took all day. We were exhausted last night. But there are some signs of spring out there.
Today I am including a couple pictures from the wall in my kitchen. The little mice were made by Debbie Miller, and the snow gal was made Tammy Speicher. I hooked the rug in a class in Arrow Rock. The pattern id available through The Woolley Fox (link above).
Not only was last week so wonderful because I got to go to rug hooking camp at the woolley fox, but also while I was gone, I was a winner of a beautiful old looking doll from www.humblecrowcreations.blogspot.com ! Thanks Tammy! I love her! I have included a picture of her and the rug I have been working on for a week now called the Oliver Cromwell, by Edyth O'Neill. It is a whopping 37x48, and has a complicated border. I don't know that I could have done this rug justice on my own. Barbar Carroll color planned this rug for me using a stash of wools that I have been squirrelling away for quite sometime now especially for this rug. I have completed everything she had planned on the border, and the rest is up to me to follow her lead. Yikes! At least if I get in trouble, she said she would help me through email. I will keep you posted. This rug is a keeper for me. Once I finish with this, I have to work on things for September only! I did take some pictures of my class, I will post them soon. Thamks for looking, it's great to be back!
