A BIT OF SHOW AND TELL…

Joan finished hooking her Frog and Fishes (one of my Alana Kapell patterns) – it is gorgeous…

Ruth finished her House and 2 Sunflowers kit – I love the whipped edge on this – left over strips from the kit…

And Margaret finished her Irish Cottage kit … Kathy finished and framed her Neighbours miniature punch needle …

NEW LISA FERGUSON PATTERNS…

I AM SOOOOOOOOO THRILLED – it is finally raining! after weeks of drought and intense heat – today everything is wet wet wetttttt. I danced in my PJ’s in the rain to celebrate! My rain dance has not been working lately so I am hoping I did not jinx things! Everything looks so happy and lush again – well except where the deer chowed things down to the ground! One single night of forgetting to turn on the sprayers and she has become fearless and comes almost every night!

I just put a few new Lisa Ferguson patterns on my website – under rughooking patterns. These honour my little chippies who are sweet but hmmm are tunnelling through my gardens burying the peanuts we feed them – probably should stop feeding them but I am a sucker for animals! At least they are loosening up the soil 🙂 .

So the new patterns are available now…

SUNFLOWERS…

If you love Sunflowers here is a way to keep them all year round. I cannot grow them as the squirrels constantly gnaw off the heads, take a bite and then leave them on the ground. But I lovvvve SUNFLOWERS!. So I decided years ago to make wool ones. Inedible! If you are interested in making some, I now have proddy tools back in stock and yeah, rusty bedsprings. Give me a shout if you would like more information. I also make up pattern/kit/instructions on how to make these wonderful fun flowers…
