Inside the barn

February 17, 2014

Several years ago, my son decided to create a space in the upper level 

of our barn to use as his art studio.

Chris paints mostly landscapes, but at times enjoys painting Still Life.

He covered the old barn floors temporarily with plywood 

for safety and to protect them. 

Can you see his little black cat on the ladder?

We believe the barn was built in the early 1800's.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Still Life set up. Tape marks on floor are for standing position.

As you can see this barn is huge!

In the 60's owners installed a basketball court for their 4 sons.

Back entrance to the barn.

Hooked rugs

February 10, 2014
                         

I wanted to share a few colorful rugs that I've been working on. 

This geometric rug would make a great bench cover!
I used only left over wool strips.
Both rugs are not as bright as they appear in the photo.
Measures approximately 12" X 20"

And "Merry Old Soul" a punch needle design by Country Stitches.

With permission I was able to enlarge the design to hook.

It's been so much fun to work on!

Measures approximately 26" x 29" 

I hope you all have power and are staying warm and cozy!

Have a wonderful evening!!
