Finished: Oh No Crow Rug...

~Worked hard on this rug last week and finally finished it...now it is ready for binding! Woo hoo! It is such a good feeling for it to come together...

~I did change the colors a few times as you can see from this picture. Since the border and background are darker--I really needed to lighten up the details. While working on a rug, I think, "Is this going to go on the floor, made into a pillow, hang on the wall, become a table-mat--or something else?" Once I know what it will become...it helps me select the colorway. This will probably be used on the floor somewhere in my abode--in a small place. Wool hooked rugs can endure a lot of foot traffic--which is a must at our place. (Actually just found remnants of a creme-filled donut on one rug--maddening--glad it cleaned up perfectly).

~We just pulled out all the easter/spring themed rugs. I love getting holiday-specific rugs out--I forget the ones we have--and the boys love putting them about our house.

~Here is our Saturday morning walk in the woods...

~this walk started out slow as we stopped to admire all of the beauty in the woods...as we walked on, Z's boots started hurting and N. got his foot wet while exploring a stream (luckily this happened right near the end). Ho hum...Some things you just can't plan for! So overall we still walked for a good long part of the morn--and it is worth getting out in the snow every day!
