May Day and a Peak...

Happy May Day My Friends!
It certainly isn't Spring-like here...tho' the sun does try to shine now and then...

Here is a peak my new offerings on Early Work Mercantile...hope you'll stop by for a visit on May 1st to see all the lovely work of many talented artisans!

Will be a busy week...getting ready for Shepherd's Harvest Festival next weekend! If you are in the area...I hope you'll stop by and say hello. For many years I've been at the southwest end of Building C...hoping to have my usual spot!!!

Spring-time blessings to you ~ L

Happy Easter...

...still looking for Spring ~L

Textures...

Love'em!!! Lots of NEW wooly textures...and a few "oldies"...arrived a week ago! I've finally got the studio back together after the annual Spring hook-in...opps...no pictures...
Anyway...just got all the woolies added to the website!
Now busy hooking up some treasures for Shepherd's Harvest Wool and Sheep Festival on Mother's Day weekend.
This will be my 7th consecutive year at the festival! It's always a great time!!!

Cold and dreary here today...but thankfully no snow...just cold...a good day to hunker down with wool!
Still Looking for Spring, L

Where did Spring go???

It's a blustery Wednesday here in the North Country...a few days ago all the snow had melted away in our yard...the birds were singing...but NOT today! This is how March is...a teaser of what's to come one day...then a slap of reality the next!

It's okay...I have much to do inside...drawing patterns, dyeing wool and preparing kits for Brocade...the picture above is another preview of this year's rug project. If the sun was shining and the birds were chirping I'd want to be scratching in the herb garden! The 2011 Rug project is close to being sold out...so if you are interested in joining in...don't wait too long or you'll be dissappointned! If you want more info...click on the underlined link above to go to the website for all the details!

99 followers here...how cool is that? A heartfelt thanks
to all of you who visit and follow along with my rambliings! Our new windows are all in...and are amazing...while I miss the look of the old wavy glass...I don't miss the wind rattling the panes...sad we waited 18 years for this! And...hopefully we will have some news on the house hunt in the next week or so!!!

Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!!! ~L

Brocade ~ The 2011 LJF Project Rug

Happy St. Patty's Day to All!

Well...I've finally figured out a way to proceed with this year's rug project!
Brocade...a 18" x 42" runner
A little different format than the last 5 years...but I should be able to pull it off even with our relocation!

Visit the website for more information...http://www.ljfibers.com/patbom11a.html

May you have all the
happiness
And luck that life can hold ~
And at the end
of all your rainbows
May you find a pot of gold!

Tidying on a Bright Cold Day...

Good day to you...
It’s sunny and bright...the cardinals are singing their sweet song...
But...OH SO COLD...
What a winter we've all have had across the land?!?!?!
The forecast is for our January thaw to arrive for the weekend...a wee bit late...
But NO complaints here...Just in time for our Second Saturday Hooking Group!

I’ve been tidying the place to make room for all the gals...snapped a few pics...guess I’m focusing on WARM colors today!

Like a well stocked pantry...I just love my jars of threads and shelves of wool!

Thanks for visiting...wishing you a bright and cheery day ~L
