SAMPLERS FRAMED

 

I HAD MY FRIEND BILL MAKE ME TWO PINE
FRAMES FOR THESE SAMPLERS. I PAINTED
AND AGED THE FRAMES THIS WEEK AND GOT
THE SAMPLERS IN THEM. THE SAMPLER ON
THE RIGHT IS A PATTERN BY THE PINKEEP.
A FUN LITTLE SAMPLER TO WHIP UP.
THE OTHER IS THE ONE I SHOWED A FEW
POSTS BACK INSPIRED BY AN ANTIQUE SAMPLER.
I MAY BE OFFERING THE MATILIDA FOR SALE
IN MY NEXT UPDATE SOMETIME IN JUNE.


WE'VE HAD SOME NICE DAYS SO I'VE BEEN
WORKING OUTSIDE WHEN I CAN. I PUT NEW
MULCH IN THE FLOWER BEDS ACROSS THE
FRONT OF THE HOUSE. BRIAN POWER WASHED
THE RAIN GUTTERS LAST NIGHT WHEN HE
GOT HOME FROM WORK. THEY ARE WHITE AND
NEEDED A GOOD CLEANING. THEY LOOK SO NICE
NOW! TODAY I HOPE TO GET OUT AND PAINT THE
WINDOWS ON THE SHED. STILL HAVE TO CLEAN
WINDOWS AND PLANT FLOWERS. SO MUCH TO DO!
RIGHT NOW IT'S TIME TO TAKE ZOE FOR A WALK.
ENJOY YOUR DAY!

AND PLEASE IF YOU COULD OFFER UP PRAYERS
FOR JILL. SHE IS A FRIEND HERE THAT WAS
JUST FLOWN OUT TO THE SAME HOSPITAL IN
WI WHERE BRIAN HAD HIS EMERGENCY
SURGERY A YEAR AGO. WE DON'T KNOW
ANY DETAILS BUT POSSIBLE ANEURYSM.
 SHE NEEDS MIGHTY PRAYERS.
THANK YOU!

UNTIL NEXT TIME....LORI

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

 

WISHING EACH MOTHER A MOST WONDERFUL

MOTHER'S DAY. ABOVE IS MY MOM JUNE

ON THE LEFT WITH HER TWIN BROTHER JOHN.

I LOST MY MOM TO BREAST CANCER ALMOST

21 YEARS AGO. I CAN STILL FEEL HER ARMS

AROUND ME WHEN I NEEDED A HUG.

SHE HAS MISSED MANY FAMILY EVENTS

OVER THE YEARS

BUT IS NEVER FORGOTTEN AND WITH US

ALWAYS.

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO THIS WEEK

 

THIS IS OUR OLD SHED IN THE BACKYARD.

OUR HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1973 SO I AM GUESSING

THE SHED WAS BUILT SOME TIME IN THE 70'S

AS WELL. WE MOVED INTO THE HOUSE IN 1985.

 IT'S BEEN IN NEED OF SOME TENDER LOVING

CARE AND I AM DETERMINED TO GIVE IT A FACE LIFT

THIS YEAR! THE WHITE TRIM WAS PEALING OFF SO

BADLY WHEN I SCRAPPED IT ALL DOWN YESTERDAY

THE TRIM AROUND THE ROOF WAS ALMOST ALL

DOWN TO BARE WOOD. TODAY I MANAGED TO GET

THE UPPER TRIM PAINTED. THE WINDOWS HOWEVER

ARE ANOTHER STORY! YOU KNOW HOW YOU THINK

SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE A QUICK LITTLE PAINT

JOB? WELL ALL THE WINDOW PUTTY IS COMING

OFF SO I HAVE TO PUTTY AROUND EACH PANE

OF GLASS IN THE TWO WINDOWS BEFORE I CAN

PAINT THE WINDOW FRAMES. I HOPE TO GET TO THE

PUTTY PART TOMORROW WHILE WE HAVE

ANOTHER NICE DAY IN THE 70'S. 

I LOVE THIS LITTLE SHED WITH THE TWO CUTE

WINDOWS.

 

 

YOU CAN SEE OUR GRASS IS JUST STARTING TO

GREEN UP AND WE DON'T HAVE LEAVES ON THE

TREES YET BUT IT IS A GOOD TIME TO GET DONE

WHAT I CAN OUTSIDE BEFORE IT GETS HOTTER.

 

 

THIS WINDOW HAS TWO PANES OF GLASS MISSING.

I SUSPECT OUR SON SHOT THEM OUT WITH HIS

BB GUN YEARS AGO. SINCE I HAVE TO REDO ALL

THE WINDOW PUTTY I GOT TWO NEW PANES

OF GLASS TODAY TO REPLACE THEM WHICH

MAKES ME HAPPY CUZ IT REALLY REALLY BUGS

ME THAT TWO ARE MISSING!!! LOL

 

 

IN THE FIRST TWO PICS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS

A WIDE DOORWAY AND NO DOOR. BRIAN TOOK

IT OFF YEARS AGO SO OUR SON AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD

KIDS DIDN'T GET STUCK IN THERE. WHERE THE DOOR

WENT I HAVEN'T A CLUE BUT I AM THINKING

A NEAT NEW SCREEN DOOR WOULD BE COOL.

I BOUGHT THE OLD HARDWARE ABOVE AND HOPE TO

USE IT ON A NEW DOOR. I'M CALLING MY FRIENDS

BILL AND MAREE ( ARE YOU READING THIS MAREE?)

TO SEE IF BILL CAN BUILD ME THE PERFECT NEW

DOOR. IT'S A WIDE OPENING SO WE SHALL SEE WHAT

BILL THINKS WILL WORK. IT MAY TAKE ME

A WHILE TO GET IT ALL DONE BUT I HAVE A VISION

FOR MY CUTE LITTLE SHED AND I HOPE TO GET THERE

THIS SUMMER FOR SURE.

 

 

BRIAN TOOK THE ABOVE PICTURE ON SUNDAY,

MAY 5TH, TO SHOW THERE IS STILL ICE

ON ONE OF OUR LOCAL LAKES. THAT IS ICE

IN THE DARKER AREA TOO. CLICK ON IT TO

ENLARGE IF YOU LIKE. IN FACT THIS LAKE IS

CALLED ICE LAKE. SO NAMED AS YEARS AGO

BEFORE REFRIGERATORS BLOCKS OF ICE

WERE TAKEN OFF THE LAKE FOR THE ICE BOX.

 

THAT'S ALL MY NEWS FOR NOW.

I HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR NECK

OF THE WOODS.

 

UNTIL NEXT TIME....LORI

SOME FUN!

 

BRIAN, ZOE AND I WENT ON A LITTLE

OVERNIGHT TRIP TO APPLETON, WI

ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

WHILE IN THE AREA I WAS ABLE TO GO

TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUILT SHOPS...

PRIMITIVE GATHERINGS.

 

I BOUGHT A FEW COTTON FABRICS

THAT CAUGHT MY EYE AND

ONE PIECE OF DYED BROWN WOOL THAT REMINDS

ME OF COCOA. YOU CAN SEE IT ON

THE BOTTOM OF THE STACK.

I GOT FIVE PRINTS AND A WONDERFUL

BROWN TICKING HOMESPUN.

A PUMPKIN, A GREEN, TWO REDS, A BROWN, AND

THE BROWN HOMESPUN.

I HAVE PLANS FOR IT ALL BUT NOT

IN THE SAME PROJECT. I ALSO GOT

A FEW BALLS OF VALDANI PEARL COTTON

FOR PN AND A COUPLE OF OTHER LITTLE

THINGS. ALL IN ALL A MOST ENJOYABLE

TIME BROWSING IN THIS WONDERFUL SHOP.

 

WE LEFT IN SLEET ON FRIDAY BUT IT WAS

JUST RAINING IN APPLETON. YESTERDAY

WAS BEAUTIFUL THERE THO AND TODAY

AT HOME IS A LOVELY DAY OF SUNSHINE

AND MAYBE IT WILL MAKE 70.

 

HOPING YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.....LORI



L. DUO IS DONE!

 

WELL, HERE IT IS ALL DONE!

I THINK IT'S THE OLDEST LOOKING RUG

I'VE HOOKED YET, THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL

WOOLS THAT MADE IT SO EASY TO DO.

 

I PULLED THE LAST LOOP BEFORE SUPPER

YESTERDAY AND BOUND IT LAST NIGHT.

I STEAMED IT THIS MORNING. AFTER PONDERING

IT I DECIDED TO REVERSE HOOK THE ONE

BLUE PETAL IN THE LOWER FLOWER TO

PETUNIA PINK (WHAT I'M CALLING FADED RED)

AND USED THE BLUE ON THE TWO TOP CORNER

FLOWERS. I LIKE THE BALANCE OF HOW IT LOOKS.

WHAT A CHICKEN I WAS ALL THOSE YEARS

TO NOT HOOK THIS RUG! BUT THEN AGAIN, I

WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE WOOLS I USED ON IT NOW

SO I'M GLAD I WAITED. SOME RUGS JUST FLOW

TOGETHER SO WELL AND THAT IS HOW

THIS ONE WENT FOR ME.

 

UNTIL NEXT TIME....LORI



LIGONIER DUO PROGRESS

 

I'M MAKING GOOD PROGRESS ON MY RUG

AND THE MORE I GET DONE THE MORE

I AM LOVING IT. YOU CAN CLICK

ON THE PIC TO ENLARGE IT. IF YOU RECALL IN

MY PREVIOUS POST I HAD A GREEN CENTER

AND STEM ON THE BLUE FLOWER UP IN

THE RIGHT HAND CORNER. I PULLED THE

GREEN OUT AND USED THE DARK BROWN I

USED IN THE BORDER FOR THE FLOWER STEMS

INSTEAD AND I USED ONE OF THE NEW

R.E. WOOLS FOR THE FLOWER CENTERS &

LITTLE LINES BETWEEN THE PETALS.

I LIKE IT MUCH BETTER. YOU MAY THINK

THE BLUE PETAL DOESN'T SHOW UP VERY

MUCH IN THE BOTTOM FLOWER AND YOU WOULD

BE RIGHT BUT THAT IS THE WAY I WANTED IT

TO LOOK. LIKE OVER TIME THE PETAL HAS FADED

ALMOST INTO THE BACKGROUND. THE WOOL I USED

AROUND THE BOTTOM FLOWER IS BELOW. I CAN'T

REMEMBER IF THIS IS A R.E. OR BETSY WOOL BUT

I'VE HAD IT FOR A WHILE. I DIDN'T USE THE BLUE

STRIPE, JUST THE GRAY PART.

WHAT I'M CALLING THE RED WOOL IN THE FLOWERS

IS CALLED PEONY PINK IN THE NEW R.E. SAMPLES.

TO ME IT LOOKED LIKE A SOFT OLD FADED

RED AND I KNEW IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR

WHAT I WANTED TO DO. THE BLUE IS ALSO IN

THE NEW FLYER AND CALLED PAINTED CUPBOARD BLUE.

I ALREADY HAD SOME OF THAT IN MY STASH.

IT'S ONE THAT REBECCA HAS GOTTEN BACK IN AND

ALWAYS A FAVORITE. I AM ALSO USING

COBBLESTONE NUBBY FROM HER NEW SAMPLES

FOR THE FLOWER CENTERS, LITTLE LINES BETWEEN

THE PETALS AND THE SMALL AREAS ABOVE AND

BELOW THE CENTER PETALS. I AM PLANNING

ON USING THIS WOOL IN THE OUTSIDE BORDER AS WELL.

WE GOT YET MORE SNOW AND IT WAS ONLY

IN THE TEENS LAST NIGHT SO STILL GOOD

RUG HOOKING WEATHER. WE SHALL

SEE HOW MUCH I CAN GET DONE TODAY.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.

WE ARE PRAYING FOR ALL THOSE

AFFECTED BY THE TRAGEDY IN BOSTON.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.....LORI
