My Spot of Spring

My forsythia is blooming yea! my little spot of spring.  Mother nature is going to pull a huge joke on April 1st. a nor'easter is on the way we are in the track of 7-12+inches of snow. with winds and possible loss of power. No I am not kidding I really wish I were.                                                                                             

 But for today the sky is so blue and it has warmed up a bit. I took a walk after work. and sadie is out walking around the driveway.

 I transfered a pattern that was in a rug hooking magazine. I changed it a bit to suite me and I am hooking it in colors I have hanging around that I thought I would never use. I am also using a new hook. I usually use a bent hook with a very small hook on the end. I use mostly monks cloth so this is really out of my comfort zone.
This is primitive linen and a large primitive hook. It is like driving a standard. I am trying to get the feel of it. I will post more pictures as I go. (shocking yellow I am just going to go with it.)

Today my daughter had to go back to work. She had 3 months off for maternity leave. I knew there would be tears. I remember how I felt going back after 2 months. She will be fine and so will miss baby her other grammie is her baby sitter. My daughter teaches so she will have school vacations and summers off perfect for a working mom.
Besides walking, I walked on the treadmill and did two loads of laundry today it really is amazing what I can get accomplished when I get off the computer.
so my qote for the day is..... Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow..Mark Twain
