OUR NEW HOME


Well, maybe. This is a picture of an old flour mill. We are in the process of possibly saving this old building if all goes well. We still have to go in front of the planning and zoning committee in a week. If all ok'd we will then have this beautiful structure moved to our property down the road. It needs sooooo much work but we are always up for the challenge. The inside is really neat to. Talk about primitive!!! Would love to decorate this one!!! Already told my husband that I have dibs on the 3rd floor for my rug hooking studio. Its only fair..he has the whole barn. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I did. Fun watching grandkids open gifts. Its always the best when all my kids are together. Thats what its all about to me...Family!. Happy new year everyone. Will keep you posted on our progress as it develops. Oh, we are also getting in slowly but surely our rug hooking supplies into our store. Im so excited.

Old man winter is here







Hi folks, Hope that you are all keeping warm. Way below zero here with the sun shining. Lots of snow. But its so pretty. We will definately have a white christmas. What better way to pass time than to rug hook. Here is my first piece that I have finished hooking. Just have to complete the rest (hemming, stitching, ironing). This is my original design. I love old barns and houses. Looking forward to doing another. Its so addicting. So many things that my husband and I are thinking about doing this next year. Will keep you all posted as things if and when they happen. Just great things that keep us excited about what we enjoy doing! So here are a few pics of my rug hooking chair pad (my design, 1st one), and a shot out my back door looking at our cabin and the back yard hills. Lastly, a pic of a spot in our bathroom that I decorated. Moved a small cupboard bottom in the room, added a small cupboard top that my husband mad out of a small book case. He then added wainscott doors and stained it. Looks like a small version of a stepback cupboard. Just love it! Well lets hope for an early spring. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
