RIP Mommy

Yesterday my 92 year old Mom died. This is not exactly hooking related news but it's all I can think about right now, so I'm sharing!!

Mom and Daddy, taken in 1943 as newly weds. 

Another year old today...

Today I'm 60 years old. I never thought about reaching this milestone when I was 25. It was all about living in the moment!! All that drinking, partying without a care in the world, haha, sometimes, I wonder how I survived it all. How time flies... What's next? If we can map our futures, by the lives of our parents then I got another good 30 something years in me, as Mom is still all bright and perky at 92... Life has been good to me.

Antique Persian Rug

I was online eBay checking out Persian hall runners for ideas on how wide to make my own runner, for sure they come in all sizes and all beautiful!! This rug caught my eye, it's a beauty... 

it's a antique Persian rug with a Qumran hunting scene. I see a little bit of everything in this rug. 

Here is a close-up!

Isn't that awesome. 

So much detail in this rug. Priceless with a price tag of $2,500, ouch!!

Black Whiskers

I just tore apart my small hooking nest looking for that special black yarn I'm positive I bought in December for my Mr Rabbity's whiskers! It's not any old yarn, but sorta soft and lumpy that would make good hair, or whiskers... For the life of me, I can't find it!! Now I'm questioning myself, did I even buy it at all? Dang!!
