Hi, I'm Emma, and I rule the roost here, so to speak, at
Crow Hill. That's me with my favorite bunny. I am just a
year old, talk a lot, but mostly I like saying, "I'm a
pretty bird", and "I'm a good bird." Alicia and Sharon are
always telling visitors to "watch what you say". Guess they
are afraid what I might say. Little do they know!
My favorite pastime is sitting in Sharon's upstairs studio and
getting as much attention as possible. If I squawk enough, she
will bring me downstairs to my perch in the corner of the kitchen
where I can watch the birds at the outside feeder....and listen to
family conversation while Sharon and Alicia dye the wool.
The
latest news is that with the help of Chuck, finish
carpenter extraordinaire, and husband and father of Sharon and
Alicia, the new studio is done!! Sharon and Alicia have
filled it with gorgeous hand dyed wools, patterns, and finished
rugs. It is so warm and inviting. I am hoping that they have a
perch in there for me.
They are forming beginner rug hooking classes. They are great
teachers and very caring. You can ask them anything and they will
help you!
Their unique ability to hook subtle variations into a primitive
rug is awe-inspiring. I think it is the richness of the hand dyed
wools, combined with their artistic skill at hooking that gives a
depth to the finished rugs.
They are extremely creative and talented designers, and have
always done exemplary work. I am in heaven in this studio being
surrounded by rugs done, rugs half done, quilts, quilts half done,
and books on every subject!
Latah,
PS...I've included another of Sharon's mouthwatering treats--Rhubarb
Cake ...this is a winner, as the cake tastes more like an
apple cake than rhubarb...simple to make...and a great way to use
up that rhubarb! Click for PREVIOUS

PPS--you can e-mail
me, if you'd like!
