New York Bound!

What a wonderful few days weather wise!  I'm just loving it!  It kinda puts a "Spring" in your step and actually makes you feel like getting out of bed in the morning and doing something!  Seems everywhere you go people are in a much mood which is a nice change of pace too!

Seems some tigers are loving the open windows too!  They love to "window monitor"!

I have been really busy this week with some appointments and trying to get some rugs finished to take over to the store as they are having their "grand opening" this weekend to coincide with the town's Spring Fling where the store is located.

I've had help coloring planning..

He's not shy to let me know when he doesn't like something...

And of course helping with the hooking

Had a pile of laundry to do too and had some help with that...

But with all the stuff I had to get done, there was always time  for some ear rubs...

A nap now and then...

And time to get something stuck on your nose!

Well today I finished up labeling and pricing some rugs and got them over to the store - here's a few of the ones I took over - did a few more but forget to take pictures!

"Antique Birdies" (Birds from a drawing from Kelley Belfast from an antique rug)

Tree Skirt for the Wool Feather Trees

This was a Vermont Folk Rugs Pattern

Just a small primitive cat doodled up...

Another penny circle tree skirt

A red prim birdie...

This was a freebie doodle on A Bird in the Hand Primitives blog

All these pictures came out brighter than the actual rugs - they are much more muted in person!  I did however try not to cut any wool unless I had to - I am really trying to use up all my "worms" and I'm happy to be finally putting a dent in the baskets where I have them color sorted!

After taking the rugs over this afternoon, I popped in for a visit with the parents and to "borrow" some fabric from my Mom - The woman has way more quilting fabric than I have wool for sure!   Since I'm not a sewer, it's nice to have an outlet to go get a small piece of a certain color when I need it!

When I got home, I was greeted by this...

Hard to tell in the picture - but this old wooden divided crate is usually standing up on mantle along with a wooden bobbin collection next to it and some odds and ends.  Inside this I had some old children's books that were my Dad's as a kid, some ceramic moose, a pinecone moose, and and old stoneware bowl w ith a lid - Well all the breakables were shattered as it it the brick on the fireplace.  I couldn't "yell" at anyone since I wasn't home to witness it - but I bet my wool stash it was Riley - Miles would never have been able to jump up on the narrow mantle at his age and Jonesy just isn't adventureous like that.   Well what can I do - My husband said he would try to glue the moose but they are so chipped up I said toss them.  Like I said - it's done  - not that I'm happy it happened but will just look at it as now I have some room from some other treasures.  After I finish getting my Spring items out I will take a picture of the area so you can it's not always looking like this.

Well tomorrow morning I leave for New York.  Will be going to Philadelphia to pick up my friend and then we will go to New Jersey to get the train!  I can't wait - the weather is supposed to be fabulous on Saturday and Sunday and so looking forward to that.  Tomorrow night we have tickets to a Broadway Show - The Million Dollar Quartet -  and then Sunday night we have tickets to the ABC Daytime Broadway event.  Sunday we are hoping to meander around the South Seaport Area that Kimmie told me to check out.  Love getting suggestions like that!   Thanks Kimmie.  And will absolutely love walking around New York on a beautiful day!   Monday it's supposed to rain so plans are up in the air if we will stay for a while or just head home.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
