Five Bags of Wool
Dear Diary, My friend Delia came to visit for an impromptu visit this week while blog reader Betty Heath was visiting the studio. I think Delia gives new meaning to the term” five bags full” from the nursery rhyme. She dyed me some beautiful wool as she always did. She was on a road trip so I jumped in with her for the ride. Remember those pictures of Brenda, well they got lost when I … Read entire article »

make something beautiful
Dear Diary, today was spring. You just felt it. I knew it was coming. The other night my neighbour Wayne called at ten thirty. That’s odd, he would call so late. “I just wanted you to know”, he said, “that if you listen real close you can hear the peepers in the pond tonight.” That is a good neighbour. The pussy willows are everywhere now, having reached their prime. Kim, who has her own blog, called Millie’s … Read entire article »

I also bought … Read entire article »

pining for the mat
Dear Diary, I sometimes pine to sit at the mat and hook. Like today I wanted to hook but there was no chance. It was a busy day, and my hands did not hold the hook for longer than a minute. The good thing is though that the days you do not get to the frame make you relish the days you do. I sometimes get a bit bored with my routine, and am a … Read entire article »

beauty, function, funky…..at the rug hooking studio
 Megan Lewis of Gallery 8 took this photo of my basement stairs, the plainest of things can be lovely, there is hope for the filing cabinet…I hope I do not have to paint it red. Dear Diary, The basement of the building that  I work in has a life time of stuff in it. Several life times probably. There was a photography studio, and an insurance company in the building for years. So when ever I … Read entire article »

new rugs for sale on the site
Dear Diary, This winter I made a lot of small rugs. Part of it was to get my mind in gear for net years workshop Big Lessons on a Small Canvas. It was my effort to start thinking about what I could make small before I started on the lessons. I spend a lot of time creating and designing workshops, and that is the mode I am getting into right now. We have an abstract class … Read entire article »
