I'm feeling a bit responsible for this terrible weather! I swore I'd have my Spring Bunnies With Tulips done for April 1st and although I stayed up until 2:30 last night and made a valiant effort I fell short of the mark. There is only about two hours worth of work to complete so it will be finished by the end of the day, with the help of some toothpicks to hold up my eyelids. Unfortunately, the deal I negotiated with Mother Nature, to flush winter down the toilet had a March 30th deadline and I failed to come through. She prevailed with high winds, ice pellets and more snow! The punishment? We will now have 15 more days of winter. So sorry folks, I let you all down.....
I still have the lace to hook in the border, finish the two bunnies and that last tulip. I over-dyed a plaid with red violet for the border and Shane dyed up a very pale Lavender for the lace. The three fingers of the plaid in each piece of lace makes it look like cotton eyelet with a background showing through. So little left to do and then the whipping!

We've had some eye candy come in. Hopefully these lovely golds and greens will take the edge off the winter blues. This piece is called FENCED IN and was hooked by Tanya McNutt. It's listed under my Signature Designs. She mixed it up a bit and make the flowers proddy which gave this whimsical pattern even more punch. I love that she added a black sheep, one that jumped the fence. Clever and adorable!
This piece is called PUMPKINS 4 YOU and was sent in by Donna Thompson for her mom. Donna, tell mom she gets a 50% discount off her next pattern of like size. This note came with the picture! Thanks for sharing!
"To help you remember us, my mom Dot Chisholm and I visit your shop every year at the end of the summer. Mom loves your shop. When we were there last Sept she bought this mat and the wool to hook it and I think you told her you didn't have a picture of it. Here is the finished mat."

Patty Tyrrell hooked my Tails Of The Heart. I always knew it would be stunning and she proved me right! I love her choice of colours. The fun play on words describes the tails shaped like hearts. Being the first time hooked Patty gets a certificate of 50% off her next pattern. She's going for the Crocks & Jugs.
Mermaid Mosaic, designed by Sue Cunningham, hooked by Judy Gill. Blue being my favourite colour I can relate perfectly to this rug. To date it hadn't been hooked and I can't think of a better colour choice and this rug would fit in my home like a worn in pair of shoes, comfortable and at ease with my blue and white China. Judy is also entitled to a 50% discount on her next pattern for being the first to present a hooked picture.
