With both offspring in NY now, holidays alone can be a bit too quiet. On Easter, hubby and I took a trail walk, watched videos posted from my family in NC, and had pot roast.
The rains have meant the river has been high but the house is safe.
I’ve been hunting treasures at thrift stores and putting them on fb marketplace. I find it fun but I think
I should branch out to eBay as there is more audience. Anyone with similar experience?
My 7 ft hall runner rug is almost done. I have four squares left to hook.
More photos when it’s all done. I still have a half bin of worms left!
Next weekend is the hook-in/ sell & swap I am hosting. Twenty signed up, which is a good number as I’m not used to cooking for big crowds.
Our schedule for the day is: hooking in the morning with muffins coffee and tea , a lasagna lunch, and a one hour sell & swap time. About half the people will be selling supplies.
I made sheep name tags for everyone and I put together 8 table centrepieces which I’ll have a draw for.
The containers are those planter pots that are biodegradable. They turned out cute and cost all of $8 to make. (Not including wool cost).
It should be a fun time.
If you hook, I wonder if you’ve seen people hook on mesh trash cans? It’s a popular thing up here as the cans are cheap at the dollar store and they hook up quickly— unless you hook over ALL the metal. A woman in Nova Scotia made these as Easter baskets for her grandkids. People are so clever.
Our lease is almost up on our sweet cottage by the river and we’ve not found a home to buy. Eeeks!!! We both love the area and hope we can find something here but perhaps we’ll end up back in town.
Simple homes cost $375,000 + now.
This eclipse is supposed to be very visible in New Brunswick. That would be cool!
Happy spring to one and all
