Garden Tulips

Okay, so I lied.. with all the drizzles we’ve been having.. it was a nice chance to finish up some odds and ends hooking I had left in my basket. Seldom do I hook in warmer weather.. unless it rains. Perfect opportunity this week! 😊

Spencie’s Paws

💕 Ms. Spencie was a snuggler.. she always was looking for a warm place to nap on chilly days. In my hooking studio, she’d inevitably choose a piece that I was right in the middle of working on! A fave shot because I just loved her paws. 🥰

Passing the Time

Got a tongue lashing from doc.. ugh! So the bargaining began.. I caved and agreed to be his best patient ever. Ha! I had my excuses all lined up for him too! “Antsy, stir crazy, just a quickie outing”…. the list goes on and on. And “no I didn’t drive down to the beach” ( instead, I just bribed my best friend Claire to take me! She’s so easy. LOL)

But in the end, doc won. So once we got back to Maine and I had a long nap, Claire helped me dig out all my wool scraps so I could begin to keep myself out of trouble. I’ll tell ya though… this ‘incarceration’ is for the birds. LOL

There’s no way it’ll be finished in time for Xmas, but that’s okay. A deal’s a deal and I never welsh on deals, especially when the bargaining is with the best surgical team Brigham & Womens has to offer. So I’ll be hooking for the next two weeks here, til next appointment, keeping out of trouble ( hating every moment of this ‘sentencing’ LOL.. but will be on the mend. However, I’ve already warned doc.. unless it snows, I don’t intend on missing midnight mass come Christmas Eve.

Moon Snail

Moon snail

Just a leisurely slow paced walk this morning. How fitting to find a favorite of mine.. the moon snail.

I have always found these quiet looking beauties to be so lovely and peaceful. After a good storm these beauties can be found along the shoreline and I’ve always enjoyed finding them, marveling at their muted colors and admiring their interesting shape.

Lovely moon snail that I think will become my next hooked rug piece. I love the spiral and gentle hues of color to it. It will make a great winter project.

Did you know that as the snails grow, their shells grow with them? When they die, their shell is left behind for the hermit crabs and other marine species to make their home. Isn’t nature grand?

Stained Glass Rug

I just love stained glass windows. No two are ever alike and yet so colorful.

So, with this in mind and the past four days of rains I was able to finish my ‘stained glass’ rug utilizing many years of assorted wool scraps in my basket.
