My azalea's were beautiful in bloom.  A quick photo above of mine.  I love this time of year seeing all the wonderful flowers.  My spirea is still in bloom as well with lots of blossoms.

I started a new rug hooking project this week.  I had drawn out a beach scene a few years ago and never 'got to it'.  This week was the perfect time to begin it before I had my...

The week started off with the Springhill, Friends Hook Nook, Hook-In.  We celebrated 30 years as a group.  Friends came from all over.  Deanne Fitzpatrick gave a little talk about community and how important the connections we make when joining a rug hooking group and sharing our experiences together, makes us stronger.  Bonnie...
