Where did January go?


Thanks for your patience...it is still January right???
Part One kits of Shady Spot are going out in the mail this week;)
I'll finish drawing the patterns this afternoon after I get Dad's home from his doctor appointments...then it's just to seal the boxes and print mailing labels!

It's such a great feeling when everything comes together in a rug....
that "ah-ha moment" when I step away from the frame and the rug looks just like it did in my head;)

While going through my sketchbook, thinking about what to offer for this, the 12th edition of my Annual Rug Projects, I came across a folded piece of paper of this photo I found years ago…a wonderful mid-18th century wallet. Two ponies standing beneath fanciful flowers…I love everything about it…and hope you will enjoy my adaptation!

There are a few spots remaining for this the 12th edition of my annual rug projects
...visit the website for more info...http://www.woolyredrug.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=935

I'll be back soon to share other exciting news for things happening later this Spring...have a great day ~ Laurie
