Wobamkek beach in Port Mouton,Queens County Nova Scotia
Yesterday afternoon was a beautiful day at Wobamkek Beach.My sister Mary and daughter Bev had a picnic at the beach.This beach is next to the famous Carters Beach , divided by a stream comming from Stewards Lake.The water was blues and greens,fishing boats going by back to the Port Mouton wharf from a day spent lobstering further out at sea.This beach overlooks Spectecle Island and Port Mouton Island.

Poinsetta Chair Seat Covers

Another project started.I have six antique chairs with cane bottoms that I am going to make seat covers for.I may not get them all finished by Christmas,but hope to get a few more completed by then. They are hooked with wool strips.

Puffin Hooked With Nylons

This is my second hooking with nylons.I just framed them .Have had them finished for some time.

These pictures are of some of my rughooking that I have just finished.The Northern picture is made from nylon stockings.The nylon stocking is cut across the stocking,usually app.1/2 in wide.Then it is stretched ,which makes it roll together and then cut to make a straight piece.You can use javex to take some colour out of the stocking.Black ones may turn out to be another colour altogether when they are put in javex,as black is made up of more than one colour,to make black.Here is an interesting site to read about this type of hooking . http://www.heritage.nf.ca/arts/silkmats.html
Above is the Iris which is hooked with wool fabric,which I dyed.It was a stained glass course that I attended.

Atticus Grand Dog

This is Atticus our grand dog.Years ago he would have been a dog, period.LOL Tied out doors sleeping in his own house.Times have changed.Most dogs live in the same house as their owners.Eat specially prepared dog food.Atti has his own dog bed,as you can see.He has been with us for two weeks,really enjoyed having him .We will miss him when he returns home Sunday.His real parents Peter and Cheryl have been sailing the seas around the British Virgin Islands in a catamaran.
This being Easter weekend we will have app.22 family members and friends having Easter dinner with us.This is a tradition every year.We are so lucky to have the family within Nova Scotia.Blair spent five months in Alberta and has since returned to Halifax where he has a job similiar to the one out west,only not working in the oil fields.
Every one have a nice Easter.
