Thanks for your patience ~ L

Belated Happy New Year...

Dear Friends, Family and Customers...Thanks for your patience during my absence caring for my parents... I'm catching up on orders and enjoying time back in the studio!
Laurie ~ 1-13-15

I started this post a few days ago...but the days still seem to get away from me!
I want to thank everyone for your comments, emails and well wishes for my Dad and Mom and I'm sorry I haven't responded personally.
It has been an incredibly stressful time...but also a blessing in many ways...they are amazing people.
I'm so lucky to still have them and am glad that I can help them now as they have always been "there" for me.
After 63 years of marriage, they are kind of a package deal...and they each do best when they are together.
The angels at Living Life Home Care have really saved me. Dad still has a way to go to get back to normal and I'm still there many days a week...but I'm happy to sleep in my own bed again!

After being away for nearly a month...the dust bunnies here are really scary;)
I'm almost caught up on orders now and my next priority is getting the Part One kits of the 2015 Rug Project finished and in the mail.

I still need to dye the border wool...but hopefully the kits will be in the mail by the end of next week!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Laurie

Tonight I'm finishing Holly~Tree
My newest wooly cupboard hanger
Stitched of my hand-dyed wool with wool threads and black walnut aged ticking.
This is my December offering for Early Work Mercantile tomorrow night.

This week I'll be pulling the last loops in On The Hill

Have a good week ~ L

So much excitement...

The excitement about my 2015 edition of the Annual Rug Project has been heartwarming!
I’m hooking as fast as possible to get the sample finished for all to see.
Yesterday’s sneak peek fueled many questions,
so this morning I posted order info on the website,
you will find it here ~ http://www.woolyredrug.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=713
Here is Part One...

I will post photos of Part’s 2 & 3 as soon as possible…
Thanks so much for your interest ~ Laurie

Brrr…Winter has come to the Northern Prairie…

Hello Dear Friends…
Altho’ it is the middle of November, it sure feels like January
I know many of you are experiencing the same…
Good weather to hunker down under a good rug project;)

I’m working on the design for the 2015 Annual Rug Project.
After the appeal and success of last year’s project, Primitive Medallions…I admit that this year’s choice was very difficult for me.
There are loads of sketches on my drawing table…
And the one that kept popping to the top is a prim pictorial I’ve named “On The Hill”.

It measures 22” x 34” and like last year will be a THREE part project.
...linen pattern and 1st wool kit will ship in January 2014

Even tho’ the cost of materials keeps going up, I’m hoping to keep pricing the same!
I know many of you would like to include the Annual Rug Project on your list to Santa…
So I hope to be able to have details on the website and do a proper unveiling soon!

Keep safe and warm, ♥ ~L
