News, weekly blog posting from Della's Rug Hooking.

It is the last week of January already, where has the time gone? Does this mean winter is 'half' over? Probably not, at least not here in the Maritime provinces of Canada. I took the above picture, looking up a beautiful tree outside my daughter's home in Halifax yesterday. They got a bit of snow Friday.

I hope you had a good week, mine was quiet but productive. I have restocked a lot of my yarns. Two zoom classes out of the way last week, I learned how to 'properly' put...

Yesterday morning, it was so beautiful out! Everything was covered in a frost. I walked to my mom and dads, who live next door to me, I kept stopping trying to capture the wonderful frost in a picture. I found no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the pictures to be as beautiful as the reality.

Our kitten, Chubs, is doing well. He's 4 months old now and loves to explore outside. My moms cat, 'Dusty' from next door, has been visiting my place since he was a baby...

It weighs on us unconsciously I believe. It weighs on me I know. I was taught at a young age, 'don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today'. I do most times try to follow...

We are reminded each November, to remember those who have fought for our country and freedom. We should never take our freedom for granted. I have seen during this COVID year, references being made to our forefathers, how we should be able to self isolate and wear a mask, at least we didn’t have to send our children off to war. We have a lot to be thankful for.

I worked a bit on my Denver Fish rug, I’ll have it finished in no time. Working on the trees behind him.
