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 alot,
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 studio and getting as
much attention as possible. There is, Kramer a cockatiel, who
resides here too, but I would much prefer adult attention. 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.
Can
we squawk??
Being
an objective bird, I can unequivocally say that their dyed wool
looks
subtle and rich when used in hooked rugs. When added to Penny
Rugs, these wools add a dimension not found when using felt.
Sharon
and Alicia's designs are unequaled for expressing that subtle
primitive feel, rugs with great borders, and a wide selection
of patterns. 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,
