Spring comes to northern New England late. As I write this
there are snowflakes in the air and the sky is dark. It is hard to think of spring and spring
flower. It seems that there will be a few more days before I can happily start
the spring clean up and work the gardens. It will be a few more days before the
brown is replaced by green and colorful blooms. I long for the magic and
promise of spring.
When I was growing up my mother filled our life with strips
of wool in many colors. I would watch as my Mom drew pictures with those strips
of wool. Rug hooking was and is still a bit mystifying to me. What I did
understand clearly was that those strips of wool brightened my imagination and
open the doors to my own creativity.
I love that my sister has filled her shop with wonderful
seasonal rug hooking kits. They remind me of the flowers that I remember my Mom
working on. This spring I have dropped in at the web site to have a look and
perhaps get a little early inspiration.
I am never sure what will come from those visits, however I do know that they
light a spark in my heart that pushes me toward my own creativity.
Please check out the store at Green Mountain Hooked Rugs for
your own preview of the seasons. And perhaps you will be inspired to step fully
into the spring season.
