My brothers birthday was a few days ago and I happened to see this so Happy birthday and happy spring to all of my brothers.

Sunday walk

Yesterday I was over by the State Capital and decided to take a photo of the building .My tulips are in bloom now and it was a nice day today.I went over to the graveyard for a walk. Made it around twice and saw some purple martins . They are so stunning. I may have to bring my binoculars along next time. I tried to get a photo but they are fast .It was impossible.Such a beautiful colour. I am back on my walking schedule now after a busy week of rughooking. I checked Anitas blog and she had posted all our rugs on there. A good week  for sure. It is Pizza day here,Gervs'whole wheat healthy pizza so I guess I will be digging into a piece soon. masterpiece theatre tonight and maybe a small healthy popcorn with it.........

okay.Day 4 was the last day of the workshop with Anita White. I worked on the background and border . I decided to change the border and leave the tails out. It looked fine with a simple border . I have enough wool and paisley to hook another piece on my own. It may be a Paisley fish. Might be interesting. It was nice to finally hook with paisley . The class was great and thanks to Anita  for teaching. Also thank you Elsie for always organizing these workshops. It is nice to learn new techniques and to come home with lots of  rughooking tips.It is raining cats and dogs today so no walk.I do have to mail the grandsons gifts and the cd's to my cousins . They have been waiting a long time for them.I woke up early and have had a pot of tea so maybe it is time to get out of my comfy yellow chair . I guess its time to get moving...........

Paisley day 3

A little more done on my paisley . Tomorrow will be the last day so hopefully I will  have everything figured out for the background and border. I bought a small cupboard paisley pattern today and that should be fun . We watched Anita hook a braided style piece today..It did look difficult but a few people did figure it out. I may attempt it at home on my own. The braid looks great so it is worth a try. It has been a good week thanks to the person who organizes it and the teacher Anita White. It is always nice to learn a new rughooking style. Must work a little on my Paisley  this evening..........So my paisley and a very small tulip......
