I was so tempted to show you what has been hooked so far on Animals Great and Small but fought off that temptation until more is hooked. Perhaps that will build up a little anticipation for when it is posted.
This is quite a colorful floral and scrolls design, circa 1900.
A horse drawn carriage measuring 23.5 x 43.5 but no date was provided.
A stag lounging in the rose garden, no date but dimensions are 21 x 36.
A simple flower hooked mid 20th century so not copywrite free. But is is easy on the eyes.
An urn with flower and meandering vine border said to be hooked late 19th century. This hen and chicks rug was hooked early 20th century and was the inspiration for Barb Carrol's pattern "Purple Peeps".
Two deer hooked early 20th century using silk, wool and cotton on burlap.
A floral in basket appears to be hooked Waldoboro style.
For feline lovers, cats dressed in green bows hooked early 20th century. And for the canine lovers I give you Bob and Rose. Rug quoted as hooked circa 1920 and measures 26.5 x 64. Interesting that the person who hooked the dog rug went out of their way to hook those + in the background. That's it for today's rug show. Maybe next time it will be my present project on display.
Recently had the urge to grow more sprouts for my salads. I've had alfalfa and broccoli sprouts and this time I put some of both seeds in my jar. My favorite are the broccoli sprouts tho. First photo is the sprouts in the jar. I usually grow enough for just 2 meals of salad so the sprouts are fresh.
And now on the salad. It was a healthy and yummy salad. If you want to see the health benefits of sprouts you can read about it HERE.
You can order sprouts from Amazon if you don't have a health food store near you. Since I grow sprouts for one person I wanted smaller jars with drain screen top and purchased them from Amazon too.
Happy hooking.

Your salad looks yummy (minus the ‘shrooms!). You eat so healthy. I am a dietician’s worst nightmare.
ReplyDeleteLove the Urn with Flowers. The Two Deer rug is making my head hurt!

I should try the sprouts ....
ReplyDeleteRug shows are always interesting
I was just thinking about growing sprouts again. I am hooking a basket of flowers but they will not be waldoboro.
ReplyDeleteGreat show as always.

As always a wonderful rug show, but the two deer one made me a bit dizzy. I love sprouts and salads. I have many salad recipes we make mostly in the Summer. Janice
ReplyDeleteInteresting rugs as always. The kitties are cute and I like the background. I have all the stuff for making sprouts but haven't for a while. Thanks for the motivating post as your salad looks so yummy.
ReplyDeleteGiving a come-back another go...First time didn't go so swimmingly. My favorite of the group above is the hen and chicks (even though I'm not a chicken girl...I love watching them, listening to them, etc., but not decorating with them I mean.) It does look like you've had a lot of snow. We've gotten some too...We had about 6" the week before last, then 10" last weekend, a few inches midweek and maybe another 5" this weekend? I fear, though, it's just the start of snow season here. Re pc's...as you know, mine got fried by lightning. I replaced it with whatever my son's friend told me to get...think it's an LG??? (from Best Buy). It will never be like my old one..I knew that one and that one knew me...but the new one I got is doing what I need it to do I guess. Still learning some of the ropes. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy ,,,
ReplyDeleteMore snow here,,oh my ,,the snow globe won't stop,,,,
