A Couple Photos

 Yesterday we viewed a lovely pre sunrise. Love that baby blue to the right

(For better viewing click to enlarge the photos)


I dug out my Mom's hooked rug. I place this n the bedroom near my desk where it doesn't get any foot traffic. I put it out for a few months to enjoy and then roll it back up for a bit. She dyed all of her wool and cut it all into very very thin strips-I have her cutter. This was made in the early 1960's  My brother got her vintage dining room table with the chairs that she had hooked all the seats for . I also inherited her amazing staircase runner. I gave that piece to one of our cousins as he has children to pass it down to. I may have shared this in the past. My Mom did amazing rug hooking pieces




 A surprise tonight, the person across from us on the lake did a half hour fireworks show. He has not done that in very long time.

    1. My Mom hooked some amazing pieces-and back then they cut very narrow strips of wool now many use 1/4" instead.

    1. Thank you my Mom was a master of many things including being a master seamstress. It is really special to see fireworks right from our windows over the lake-we found out he is a professional so he puts on a quality show for at least 30 minutes-he has not done any for awhile now.

  6. Oh what a gorgeous sky Kathy - I enlarged it and so breathtaking. Your mom's rug is just beautiful and what a wonderful treasure. I can see why you would place it somewhere you can enjoy it. Hope you are doing well and praying that you don't get the ice they are saying may be coming our way. Hugs!
