It's such a beautiful morning here in the Ozarks, so I thought I'd photograph a couple of spring rugs outside to share with you. It's about 7:30 a.m.
This is my recently finished teapot rug. I've found a temporary spot for it in front of my wool cabinet, but not wild about it as a permanent home. Which begs the question "how many are too many rugs to have out at once?" I would really be interested to know your take on this subject. Those of you who have accumulated many rugs over the years, and if you're like me, don't wish to part with most of them...... what do you do? Where do you put them? Do you just rotate around, store most of them, have them all out at once? Just curious.....
I really love this little rug among the violets and all the green. Too bad this spot outside can't be a permanent home for this little spring teapot..........
I do roll some of my rugs up and put away until another season. This one I call "Summer Jewels" and it just came out of the closet today.
It will live in front of the fireplace for spring and summer.
This little table mat is currently the background for a very few of my vast collection of Ukrainian eggs done by my mother many years ago. She also made the little rabbit that's tucked in with the eggs. Mom was a doll maker for many years. Her dolls were in shops across the U.S. I inherited my "busy hands" and the need to always be creating from my mom.
Below are a couple of springy mixed fiber pieces I've done over the past couple of years. They are both loosely based on scenes from my windows into the backyard and outside the kitchen. I did them both sort of willy nilly in that I just hooked, grabbed scraps of this and that, stuck in some beads.... that kind of project. They hang in my laundry room.
And if you're wondering why I would hang art in my laundry room..... the answer is "I love my laundry room!" I didn't photograph it for you, but it's very small and cute with two large wonderful windows. I hang lots of cheery colorful whimsies that I love to change around on the walls.....
Have a lovely springy kind of weekend!
