Antique Tulip Rug, and I am so ready...


for spring...
we didn't have much snow this week but our temps are just so cold; yesterday I attemped to go to the post office to mail out two rugs I sold, and they were closed for lunch, then it got so cold that whatever rain/snow mix on the road turned to ice in a matter of minutes...it still amazes me how fast things change here...even though I was born and raised in NJ and I know what the winter weather can be like, I lived in California since 1972, until we moved here in 2004, so I'm not one to just get in my car and drive in the icy weather. 
So today I will attempt the post office again 'cause I always anxious to get a rug out as soon as possible, usually the same day it's sold. 
Anyway, we've had the wood stove going for the past few days non-stop and I've been hooking quite a bit while watching the fire or watching the tv...
I hooked up this simple little Antique Tulip Rug and I'll be listing it on Etsy today some time today; I'm working on another antique flower rug right now, just a hookin' fool here.

Your tulip mat is wonderful. I too was born and raised in NJ. Hamilton Twp to be exact. I'm in Pa now. Be careful and hope you made it to the post office.

What a beautiful tulip! It is a sign of Spring even though Mother Nature doesn't agree. Awe, Spring can't be too far off.
