New bird for life list!

Caught sight of this little beauty by the Sacandaga Reservoir in upstate New York. The snow bunting is a new bird for my life list. A surprise find on a very brisk winter day!



Hope you'll have a lovely surprise in your day, too!!

New Drawing

I've been dabbling with paints for the past few years. Here is a photo of my Lisa Congdon inspired drawing done with watercolors, micron pen, and inktense pencils.

What a fun, relaxing way to create art. Lisa's classes can be found on Creative Bug.

Also, I have 74 wool/binding tape auctions listed on Ebay right now. Check them out!

Loopy Ladies Shine

My rug hooking group is a very talented bunch! Here are some of the rugs they are working on or have finished.

Carolyn's rug is a design she created for a challenge we are doing. You must have two trees, a house, and an animal.

This is Maryann's rug for the challenge. She has worked in the story of her faith. Just beautiful!

Jo is making mug rugs for a future fundraiser at the Senior Center where we hook.

This rug by Mary O. is nearly finished. It was part of a challenge at Jule Marie Smith's class.

This is Jilly's rug. She is fretting about the background, but I love it!

Mary F.'s spectacular rug which will live in her Florida winter home.

The two rugs pictured above are Sharon's. The owl was started in a class featuring specialty hooking techniques.

These two rugs shown above are hooked by Cenzi. Love the whale!

 I am pretty sure that this is Sue's mermaid rug. She hooks flags in to many of her designs.

Mary Lee's rug is amazing! She began hooking it at Green Mountain rug camp. The second photos shows some of the wool she dyed in a workshop there. The piece she is holding is being worked into the rug.

These women are true artists!
