New designs and a rug for me!!

 
 

I love the week between Christmas and New Years Day as I take the opportunity to relax and do the things I really enjoy, like well, eating first and foremost, setting up a puzzle, playing video games (I am sore from playing wii raquetball) and just generally puttering around.  I am sad to say though, that the scale is reflecting this.......oh well, it's the holidays and I said I was going to allow myself some indulgences.  Back to weight watchers point counting on Monday.  I guess that's why they call it "watching your weight", a concept that's been foreign to me my entire life.  I hope I'm successful getting back on the plan.
Anyway, I wanted to share a couple of new rugs with you.  The first one is my revised "6 crows" rug that a local hooker, Ann Farr hooked for me.  She's a wonderful hooker!!! 
The second on is my new "lovebirds" pattern.  We went a bit different with the colors this time, but I really like them.  Brighter but still with that primitive look.  Mom did a great job.
The last picture is a rug Mom gave me for Christmas.  It's a pattern by Maggie Bonanami, out of her most recent book.  Pick it up if you see it.  She is just amazing.  Mom used the most beautiful colors on this.  I can't tell you how many times I walked into her room only to be yelled at by her "get out, get out".  She was working on it!  I'm glad I didn't see it before Christmas morning, it was a wonderful suprise.
Tell me about your wonderful Christmas surprises....
Until next time.....
