No Hooking or Sowing

I haven't gotten much work done on my projects sadly! No gardening and only two rows done on my rug - :(

Between two Easters (Canadian and the following week Ukrainian) I guess I've been distracted. I must push myself to get to work on the garden for sure before it's too late. The rug I can take my time with. Must enjoy the sunshine!!

I would like to wish my favourite Aunt a very happy birthday this weekend!!!! Have a great day!

Project #2

With the weather finally being nice it would seem kind of silly to start a latch hook project of this size. I can’t resist though.

My mom found this kit at our local thrift store for $3.00. The yarn is wool. The rug is 36 x 60 inches. Exactly what I wanted for a phenomenal price (these sell from the Shillcraft website for $200US – and that’s for acrylic, if you want wool you have to call them!!!)

This is as far as I’ve gotten in the last week (22 x 4 inches). We’ll have to see how far I get before the sunshine totally distracts me from it…Yea Spring!!!

The Project

Well it has been awhile. I’m back!!!
Today was a gorgeous day so I decided to do some yard work at my parent’s house and continue an on going project from last year. I had started to plan for a garden. The picture with the log and birdfeeder is my planned spot. I dug up all the weeds tilled the sandy soil, pulling out as many rocks as I could find. But that’s as far as I got. Now I guess I have to buy some soil and load it up. Luckily, I get to take the plants from my grandmother’s garden – free of charge!

Other than that I am quite clueless about gardening I would appreciate any free advice from you people with green thumbs out there ;)

I will try to keep a garden progress report on this blog.

This is of the view of Lake Wilcox from my parent’s backyard. When I was younger, my brother and I would spend the whole summer being fish.





This is my favourite willow tree. The last one of Willowbank. Lucky its there too – I think its holding the yard together.





Ahhhh! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the kids are playing street hockey! You can almost forget that you ever shovelled snow from your driveway just a few short months ago– ALMOST!
