Spring is on the way...

Life has been so hectic, but in the last few days the weather warmed up a little and all of a sudden I have a new inspiration, the urge to clean, renew and create things for the shop. Winter has been long and I feel sort of like I have been in hibernation too...

sweet spiced eggs in a primitive basket

petite easter baskets from peat pots...

grubby little chicks ( I see a hare has snuck in there, he-he)

many new penny mats, you'll love them...

 It has been almost three years since I have made any major changes in the shop layout, and is way over due!!

Look for some changes soon...


We have expanded our wool crafts area and have moved in a much more primitive direction...


Projects that have been gathering dust and finally getting done and out...


Making room for new things...

Locking hoops now in three sizes...

Hand made rug hooks...

A few new kits...

Penny mats, all wool and all hand made...

Barn board spoon holders...



(Check out that grubby prim hare, looks like a sweet prim chick to me)








I was gifted the most wonderful antique army sleeping bag, quite worn and full of holes. It has a new life in the form of many beautiful penny rugs...

my muse, Poppy... (she is patiently waiting for me to finish)

Poppy says bed is calling...

I think she is right...

For the love of Red Birds

My Mom loves cardinals and so everytime I see one I think of her. She says they are so romantic, how they are loyal to their partner and she always gives my Dad that look...

The weather has mellowed today and some of the snow is melting..

Austin says it's time to think of gardens. I think he is right, winter has lasted long enough and it's time to look forward. We are going to start a bit of spring cleaning at the shop and get an Easter hooking class set up. Give me a call if there is anything special you would like to do...

A Touch of Winter

 Snow and cold... normal for northern Minnesota although this last week I think we have had our share of the cold part! Well to be fair it is not that it was so cold, but mostly windy. Anyway I just thought I'd share some bears from the shop...

Hope you all stay 
warm and toasty...
