Springtime!

My keyboard isn't working properly this morning so there won't be a lot of words on this blog!!  How do you fix it when it's just a blank space where the letters should be? I'm used to typing without looking at the keys but not having the outline makes it so tough!
The lilacs are blooming in my yard. Just a couple of bushes but it's enough to make me happy!!
My sister is not impressed! Theirs won't bloom for over a month yet.
So it's also azalea blooming time. This is what my azaleas looked loke last year.
This is what they look like this year! We had a serious frost about 3 weeks ago. It must have frozen the buds. At the time we thought it was early and they'd be fine but for the first time in all the years we've lived here, it's a poor showing. They're pretty but not like usual.
Here are the rugs from the third warp I did. It's a black warp and the selvedges were varied so it made for some interesting combinations.




Guess who woke up and had to check on things while I was working. That looks like Belle.
Then Meg came as well!



I'm heading down to the studio now to put another warp on the loom. I'm taking a break from rugs and it's going to be a regular production warp with a twist. It's a color combination I haven't done before. Should be fun!!
Until next week, keep weaving!

As always I am amazed at your production level! I love the blues of course, again as always. I can't wait to see the new warp!

Are you willing to share what your rug wefts are and where you get them from? The look fuzzy. Thanks. Maggie
