News, weekly blog posting from Della's Rug Hooking.

When I looked up Valentines online, I was surprised to find apparently there is a Valentine week!  Who would have thought!  I say let's make it the entire month.  Never too much to show those you love or to love yourself!  Do what makes you happy and puts a smile on your face. 

A quick update for those who may be wondering, my knee replacement isn’t progressing as it should. I met with my surgeon last week and I was told decisions had to be made during surgery based on the...

Ok, so maybe this is my fault. Last week I was complaining about the lack of snow.  If we are going to have freezing temperatures, we may as well have the snow to go with it! Right? Just maybe not this much snow? Parts of Nova Scotia are getting dumped on right Lisa? 6 - 8 feet already you say? Oh my! Can't help but giggle.

Now don’t get me wrong, we will get wind living on the coast of The Bay of Fundy, wind is normal. Usually we are having a ton of snow with the wind and this year so far, the snow has been absent, perhaps on holidays?  I was to travel to my daughters in Halifax yesterday but had to stay home due to the storm. Today was...
