More Snow Days

Well the "cold paw" lasted until later that night.  Riley curled up with me and everything was good from then on. 

It snowed all day on Thursday and all the way into early afternoon today - never stopped!  My husband's work was actually closed - a rare event  for them - I'm telling you the wind was howling last night with the snow whipping all over the place - Not even pretty if you ask me!

Well the weather kept me in the house and I have barely left my rug hooking room in the last two days.  I got a lot accomplished - I made four hooked "redware" eggs.  I just made these little mats and whipped the edge with hand dyed yarn. 

I also made four feather trees - yes they do look like feather dusters right now but will wait a day to open them.   Two of them were an order so I have the bases all stained and ready to go too.

So bascially that's all I did yesterday and today.   Tomorrow I'm planning on starting a "rooster" rug - It's for a friend who wants to give it as a gift.   After that - who knows!  Lots of ideas - just have to get them down on linen!

While I was doing all this hooking, clipping, wrapping, glueing, whipping and whatnot with the trees and the mats I had plenty of help 

Yep that would be Riley supervising the egg mat.

"Hello - H-e-l-l-o - Put down the hook, step away from  the rug - and give me a chin rub! "

"Hey, get that bonehead away from the TV- I'm trying to watch Lost here!"

"You make a better door than a window"

"Oh the heck wtih it - I'll just take a nap"

"Hey get that camera outta here - we are taking a bath here"

Like I said - I had a lot of help with these two!

The mail lady brought me another package today - My birthday this month certainly keeps going and going!  My friend Patijane on AAPG sent me a birthday box!  My goodness did she spoil me - she sent a large bundle of really wonderful wools - can't wait to use it, some aloe socks (another friend sent me a pair at Christmas and I love how soft they are), some lotion - smells good!, a primitive wax rabbit, a snowman dish towel, and  a cool  piece of and old quilt!  Thank you Patijane - I just love everything!

Hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend!
