Circle Flower - SOLD

A funky flower..for the Folk Art Festival.

Mom and Daughter - SOLD

There is a very nice mom and her daughter that I usually see at the NS Folk Art Festival and they always buy one or two of my rugs.. I remember the mom was wearing this very pretty orange dress last year...and I remember feeling badly for her as it was a very hot day and she had been waiting in line for a long time. I hope they are back again this year..and that it isn't as hot.

This is what Hooker's Heaven Looks Like

The way I collect wool is to go to Louis and Frenchies every Monday ( 2 for 1 day) during the Fall and Winter months. Maybe, if I am lucky I 'll find a wool blazar or skirt a week. But look... look at this!!!!!! Just look at it!!!My Mom's friend gave me four garbage bags of wool!!!! Imagine four garbage bags full of your favourite thing. Yipeeeeeeeeeee!

It is a good day to dye..some wool.

I had to do the dishes to make room for the wool...hee hee. I ended up with some super yummy colours and because I am just winging it, I never know what is going to happen but it is all good today. It is nice and sunny, so I 'll get these on the line to dry.

Rugs on Floor for Folk Art Festival

I just wanted to see how things were coming along for the Festival, so all rugs came off the wall and onto the floor. ..and I determined I need to make some smaller ones.

This won't hurt a bit Rug Harper

I can't quite let this thing with Harper go..so bare with me. I am sure I will get bored of him soon.

Rug Harper attended an anti-Harper Rally

Rooster - SOLD

The Town of Truro just passed a law allowing residents to have chickens, goats and even a cow if you have a large lot..But, no roosters...so I 'll have to settle for this hooked rooster.

Little Lady

I am not sure if this "Little Lady" is angry and that is why she has her hands on her hip..or maybe she is dancing a polka!

Rug Harper in Bed

Rug Harper at the Door

Rug Harper with the Grapes

Finishing Stephen Harper

Just going to iron and then work on the finishing of Harper. I thought it would be fun to take a bunch of photos of Harper. Harper on the door, Harper in the hammock, Harper in the tub, Harper in the garden... I think you get the idea.

The kids are off school in three more weeks so after the "Harper photo shoot", I want to make a quite a few smaller rugs for the NS Folk Art Festival..so I need to concentrate on that...focus Laura.
