The rest of this week..

I got so much done this week I started this post on wednesday, and here's what I got done since or got photographed since (helps I had a snow day off on wednesday too!)...

Didn't hide a hope rock this week but made this little watercolor bookmark for LilleDiane  who's just had surgery and could use some hope. If I can get her to give me her address I'll mail it right out to her...

I made these little pen and marker gift tags using "tweet", my needlefelted friend as a model. They're for sale on my etsy shop for 2 for $1.50. My co-workers are buying 'em up right now!



Here's tweet and Miss Petunis'a twins, flim and flam, and in green is their crazy Uncle Ned. They're very tiny, but here's the whole family! For sale in my daughter's shop:

And here's some pics of my yard from our snow day... before we played in it and messed it up!
And last is the painting I finished last week...

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope rocks again!

This week I left another hope rock for someone to find.... for the full story behind this go to Lillediane's blog by clicking on Woodstocklilly to the left, and/or read my previous posts. This is the 6th rock I left... I put it in the burl of  a tree in front of a library. Since it's white and the tree is dark I think someone will find it! Hope it brings them a smile!


Then My Mom and Dad read the posts and decided to leave a hope rock for someone to discover as well. My Mom painted her rock and crocheted around it and left it near a lake, (funny how we found such similar hiding spots!) Hers will really be quite the surprise for someone to find!

Hope rocks again!

This week I only left one hope rock as there's so much snow I didn't know if they would just get buried...

I left it on the steps of a public building, we didn't get snow for 2 days, but when I checked on the little guy he was still there, nobody had scooped it up. Then... it snowed, but when I checked a few days later he was fine, sitting quietly on the side of the steps, waiting to be found. And.... the next day he was gone!

Then I went back to the lake where I'd left the hope rock 2 weeks ago... and the poor guy had fallen off his bench and was laying underneath. Apparently noone but me sits by the lake in winter... who knew? So I replaced him on his snow free bench and we'll see how he fares. Not sure why I feel these little guys are male!?!)

Hope rocks again!

This is my second post for Hope rocks! In the original post I expalined the idea which comes from Lille Diane, you can click on her picture to the right that says woodstocklilly to see her blog and read how the idea got started. Basically the idea is to share a little surprise of hope by hiding these rocks.

My third rock I put on the desk of a co-worker who needed a little hope to realx about things she is dealing with right now. She says it's helping to squeeze the rock once in awhile.

 Rock number 4 got left today on a bench by the lake. I visited Keuka  lake in the snow on my lunch hour and took a few pictures of the cold water and seagulls and the tiny little white rock waiting there on the bench for the first passerby who ventures through the snow down to the water....It's fun to imagine what they might think when they find it!
