Antique quilt, Rug hooking and a squirrel

Posted on 5:05 PM by hill wilf
                                                              One of Bev's Quilts 

                                          It's great when you have the history
                                  of an old quilt.
                                                 

Sometimes Life is just a simple sigh of Contentment.
This morning I sat outside as Maulie watched at her favorite spot at the fence for unsuspecting walkers with their canine friends. She always makes me laugh because she just loves to dog watch. Those unexpected barks at dogs in her morning makes her day. They walk by her totally unaware she is in corner watching their unsuspecting movements ready for her bark of her day.Maulie is one nutty little Shitzu!
Our dirt road is a perfect spot to watch Life goes by whether its dogs, people or horses it’s a sigh of contentment to me. Maybe as we get older we enjoy the little things a lot more.I can keep myself occupied all day with my projects.  I can’t believe how much a new rerun of a series on T.V.(Ballykissangel) or a new author I discover makes my day.I feel like my summer days are so precious to me for some reason. I hope I am not the only person who feels like she’s a kid when it comes to simple ordinary things.


                                                 
                                                 No pics of the rabbit but I did get the squirrels

It’s finally a little cooler in San Diego County and so I was busy weeding and looked across and saw a big rabbit bounce by the park in front of me.  This unexpected jolt of  of nature bouncing in front of me is a sweet reminder of what I can’t control in my garden  Bunny tails going away from me is fine with me no threat to my garden today.

                                            One thing a novice gardener can grow is Morning Glories


 I feel like an inward sigh when I hear the birds and can see everyone in my little world going about their business. Birds chirping Morris yawning and hummingbirds darting about. I have a hummingbird feeder out in the front yard but no hummingbirds yet. For a couple of days there was a really pretty sounding bird that I had no idea where it was but wow a voice! I wonder if there is a spot on the Internet to identify bird calls?
Last week I stopped at a feed store to check out their chickens. They looked O.K. but I didn’t like that the young girl didn’t know what all the breeds they had. So I am going to check out next week another feed store for chicks.
My rug is coming along but I have had to dye some more wool to get my off white wool's darker.Well I gotta go lots to do during these lazy days of summer.Oh one last thing I was happily surprised  this week I have another follower.
I am up to 90 Wow! Hugs to all Cheri
                                                              another vintage quilt
                                                         
                                                    (Michele took these pics of the quilts)

   
                                         My old water cans 

                         update...   Still hooking Egg and I road   




                                   Making a pot of old brown
                                             Dye pot       
                                                worms
                                            oops too brown
                             Taking out my wool . Next I
                             am going to stick the wool in the 
                            water and vinegar pot to fix it.
                                


                                          Little Squirrel
                                   Are you looking at me?
