Giving Thanks, October 09, 2022

One day a year, we are reminded to be thankful and grateful for what we have surrounding us.  Some days, that may be hard for some to recognize.  I am so thankful to live in a country that is not at war.  I am thankful and grateful for the beautiful sun.  I am thankful for my rug hooking community of friends and clients.  Tracey Kinsella let me rob the above photo from her.  I thought it was perfect for today's blog.  I hope it makes you smile as it did me. ...


Smell Fall, October 02, 2022

I think over night it got cooler.  Seems to be more of a big drop in the temperatures every year rather than a slow gentle coolness.  Fall why can't you let us get use to it being cooler maybe 5 degrees at a time rather than 20! The above picture is of my little Russian doll. It was so cold this morning in Halifax she wanted her hat, mitts and scarf!

I finished my Joan Kays pattern I have had for several years.  This was fun to make.  I made some...


Friends, Family and Connections, September 25, 2022

Artist Dawn Omen gave me permission to hook the images on 2 cards purchased from in 2002 at her Yellowknife studio.  I did most of the Hooking in Panama during the winter.  This spring we moved and did major renovations, so I couldn’t access my backing material or sewing machine.  I finally finished the pillows yesterday using Cindi Gay’s pillow finishing method.

I have loved these images since I first saw them, but there is added emotional value to these 2 pillows.  Each pillow is completed with the favourite colour of each of my sons.  My first born Joël loved blue,...


Celebrations, September 04, 2022

It has been a summer of celebrations, people getting together enjoying normal activities, traveling, etc. Last week I was privileged to be with some wonderful rug hookers at a retreat in PEI.  It was a lot of fun, relaxing and no house work! The above photo was taken from the balcony, deck of our retreat which we sat and hooked on all day over looking the bay.

Last night I attended a wedding dance for my cousins daughter and it was a blast!  The below photo are two of my very...
