This is the book with pattern from Edyth O'Neill that I was posting about on January 19th.
It also has an Emma Lou Lais scarecrow pattern I'd like to hook- among
many other patterns by various artists.

A good book all around.
Being partially snowed in today, I turned a keen eye to my home decor.
Here are a few of the things that bring joy.
The horse was my father's from childhood. I cannot believe he rode the thing
without being held- it's small!
The clock is from my hubby's home.
We had it fixed to chime but it drove me bananas so it is a silent reminder of childhood.
The lantern is from an antiques store, the crocheted cover from a yard sale,
the pharmacist bottle from Germany and the cute table was
one of two I got from Kijiji (similar to Craig's list).
This beautiful old oil painting came from Kijiji too and was
gifted me from my hubby for Christmas.
I adore the dark background.
With downsizing in mind I am keen to follow William

Thank you for posting what book the EON pattern was in. I may have it.
How lucky to have your dad's childhood horse. A real treasure!
Kimm, I've often thought of hooking that scarecrow design myself, especially since seeing the original in Barb Carroll's Ligonier home. Perhaps this will be the year??
Funny you should mention the noisy clock. When I'd visit my mother and wonderful step-father my bedroom was just outside the hearing of the cuckoo clock. That damn thing woke me up every half hour with either the number of the hour the the one chime for the half hour.
After my mother passed it wasn't the expensive special made Grandfather Clock I wanted, but rather that cuckoo clock. I pull the weigts a few times a day and just hear it go off at 6 p.m. BUT it is upstairs near the wool room and I live downstairs unless drawing patterns or cutting wool. Just love the clock and reminds me of them.
How wonderful to have you father's horse. A true treasure. Janice
