August Musings

So I’m saving my pennies and hoping for a house sale soon

to purchase the travel Bolivar cutter with a number 6 and 8 head.

I’ve done little hooking over the last few weeks

 but what I have done has been part of a group project.

Our Evening Matters rug hooking group calls this Gisele’s Rug 

after our wonderful leader who

died unexpectedly a day before her retirement.

It’s actually an RHG design called

 Chicago T33 and is approximately 26”

X 38.”

Gisele had done the colour planning and had the bulk of the wools.

We have been hooking on it in hopes of raffling it off- 

with proceeds going to the New Brunswick Registry, a project dear to Gisele.

The registry is a historic recording of rugs hooked in the province 

over the last 25 years.

Professional photos and data are taken of each rug and stored and shared

on a website. See http://www.mats-tapisnb.com/  

Obviously the 25 year window changes each year so more and more are added.

And though our home has yet to sell, we are trusting that the timing will be just right.

The morning and evening temps already feel cooler.

My hollyhocks are passing peak and echinacea and

bee balm are making their appearances.

It is the garden with its squirrels and goldfinches, it’s chickadees and pigeons,

it’s robins and juicy worms which feeds my soul and gives me relief

from the world’s troubles.

May your week be wonder-filled.
