This is my version of the old 3 Bears rug Bluenose in Nova Scotia and Frost in New England . . .the littlest one is my grandaughter with a bowl of fresh COOKIES . .which she loves . . .''C is for cookies ''is from the COOKIE Monster which she also loves!The STARS are to WISH upon . . .and the CROWS are 3 because of the Nova Scotia childrens song about crows
One crow SORROW
2 Crows JOY
3 CROWS a GIRL
4 CROWS a BOY . . .
I cant remember the rest . . .but will find it and post . . .
The crows appear a bit dark here but it is just the photo . . I couldnt manage better inside the house . . .as its snowing out today . . .
The top border of a rug with one design VIEW ( eg.frontwards) is always difficult for me not to get it DARK . . .as then the rug wants to come up off the floor at you! This time it was good though . ..
I love crows and my little JUSTINE.
So now I am on to BINDING for as long as that takes me . . . .
It's a darling rug!! What a wonderful gift!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! I remember seeing the start of it last February. Speaking of which--I may be in Montreal at the end of January. What days are your classes? I would love to get back to see you.
