NEW RUG FINISH....

I RECENTLY HOOKED THIS RUG FOR OVER

MY BED AND LOVE HOW IT CAME OUT.

IT’S CALLED THE HOMESTEAD 

BY WINTER COTTAGE STUDIO ON ETSY.

I ELONGATED IT A LITTLE ON EACH END

TO MAKE IT FIT MY SPACE.

I LIKE HOW IT LOOKS WITH MY 

SALTBOX LOG CABINS QUILT.

I ALSO FRAMED A SAMPLER WITH LOG 

CABINS I STITCHED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO

FOR OVER MY ANTIQUE WALL BOX.

THE SAMPLER PATTERN IS BY JOYCE REED.

I DID CHANGE IT SOME TO SUIT MYSELF.

HERE ARE MORE VIEWS OF MY BEDROOM.

I LOVE TO DECORATE WITH PRIMITIVE HOOKED

RUGS, SAMPLERS AND QUILTS.  THEY SOFTEN

THE ROOM AND GO WELL WITH MY PRIMITIVE

ANTIQUES.  AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE A BIT

OF A LOG CABIN THEME GOING

THE RUG WITH HUGE CABIN ON THE FLOOR

IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

THE DESIGN IS BY LINDA BRANNOCK AND SOLD

BY WOOLY WOOLENS.  

THE QUILTS ON THE RACK I MADE SEVERAL YEARS

AGO FROM PATTERNS BY MY FRIEND 

CAROLE COLLINS OF LADY OF THE LAKE QUILTS.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY LITTLE BEDROOM TOUR.

UNTIL NEXT TIME......LORI

MY GARDEN AREAS......

I CHANGED UP THE GARDEN BEDS IN FRONT

OF OUR HOUSE THIS YEAR.  MOSTLY GARDEN

ART, OLD WATER CANS AND OLD RUSTY THINGS.  THEY 

MAKE MY HEART HAPPY.  A FEW POTS OF FLOWERS

FOR COLOR.  SIMPLE AND EASY FOR ME TO 

CARE FOR.  THE LOG CABIN ON THE PORCH POST

AND HANGING ON THE END OF A FENCE ARE 

NEWLY MADE BY A COUPLE OUT OF OHIO, 

KEVIN AND BONNIE GALLAWAY.  MY FRIENDS

MAREE AND BILL HELPED ME GET THE ONE

ON THE POST AND IN THE GROUND.  I SALVAGED

THE OLD POST FROM MY NEIGHBORS BURN 

PILE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, HOPING

TO HAVE A BIRDHOUSE ON IT AT SOME POINT.

I’M SO GLAD TO SEE IT COME TO FRUITION! 

SIMPLE SUMMER PLEASURES.

UNTIL NEXT TIME......LORI

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
