We met this little love on June 10th~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Cricket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
House sparrow nestling... four days old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alaina and I were walking at a shopping mall. From the corner of my eye</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw something move. Alaina scooped up the wee little bird, not one feather on her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was 96 degrees and not all stores were open due to Covid restrictions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We searched for a nest... we listened for other nestlings...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It appeared that little bird had taken a two story drop. She calmed in Alaina's hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were off to our local farm & family store for advice to keep her healthy. </div>

I began feeding Cricket as soon as we had an egg cooked, hard boiled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We mashed the yolk only, added a bit of Pedialyte so it would go down and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a blunt end toothpick began feeding her every hour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Careful to watch her crop and not overfeed her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next day we added a little canned puppy food.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Day two with us we thought her tail feathers were getting a bit longer~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The third morning we uncovered her and pin feathers were popping out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her voice started getting stronger!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how Cricket slept. Full tummy and all tucked in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She cuddled next to her woolen nest mates and a hot pad I set</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
outside of the yarn bowl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All that I would hear from the corner of my desk was a tiny</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chirp of happy dreams... cricket-like sounds.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would set the wool rounds in and she would wiggle around</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until she found the perfect spot~</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She outgrew her yarn bowl so her woolen nest mates and flannel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bedding were tucked in a corner of the butterfly keep we kept her in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We added a perch...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On day ten we brought Cricket to the backyard for her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'in the grass time'... helping her feel comfortable in her natural environment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a few minutes she flew away!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had graduated her to mealworms, cracked corn, millet, suet...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She knew what to eat~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was still hard to see her go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The very next day, Father's Day, I heard a sparrow near my studio door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought it was Cricket. We have so many sparrows in our yard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Could it be?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It sure was!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She flew to a lilac tree and called to us! Flapping her wings and quivering!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We brought her back inside... we kept her for a few more days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't get her to peck at seeds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She loved to be fed mealworms!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a little paste from egg yolk and pediatlyte again... just enough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the tip of my toothpick to hold a seed, a piece of cracked corn~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cricket was with us for a total of 14 days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She continued to grow stronger... escaped and flew through the house frequently!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For her safely and development we decided to bring Cricket to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a wildlife rehabilitation in our town. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is safe in the care of a loving and gentle gal, in a much larger cage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My heart is at peace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The professionals will know when our sweet little gal is ready to fly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our winter is long and can be harsh here next to the lake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is important to us that Cricket learn to nest and prepare for the changing seasons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such a sweet journey~</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I see color, my mind makes a connection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In early April when I pulled my Plum (ProChem 822) sample from the pot...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw lilac petals, deep plum, just before them open & I made a sketch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our lilacs are just beginning to open and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is just the color I hoped for!</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some colors and textures play so nicely together!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hook a lot of color into my rugs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it is because I only have small pieces and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to mix several (close friends) in order to fill an area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other times, I have the most amazing dyed/overdyed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mottled yard of goodness! Plenty to fill a large area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The dotted wool hooks nicely on a #7 cut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't have to go smaller on this pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have this texture in plum, forest green, orange and blue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Found all four pieces from different sources.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The butter cream yellow is very soft and plush~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look how pretty the texture is in the scallop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A solid would have worked nicely...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However there was a little room for some excitement~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A little area of the background and the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two pieces I am using for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The green stripe: I am cutting my strips with the line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Giving me three different values.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mottled violet, blue, green goodness does 90% of the work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to add a strip of the bright green stripe for movement and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a line of the blue-green stripe to tie the purples and greens together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mottled piece of wool, all by itself would be beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to tuck in a little more green.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mottled wool is a gift from two very talented rug hookers & dyers.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One are of this mottled violet, purple, lavender, green, blue, teal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wool piece... could plan the entire rug!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a large project board that I clip my pattern to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when selecting my colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First color, the main subject, the focal point. I want to LOVE this color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I clip that color beside the rug.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I begin thinking about my background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it takes several (all in the family colors) pieces for me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to have enough to fill. Then I want to be sure to have a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
highlight, a shadow and some textures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
How different one mottled piece of wool can be!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do that make this magic happen?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this image, the wool is more purple and gold...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the previous (same wool piece) more blue, teal and green!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're having a great week, Friends!</div>

Susan B. is the second fiber piece I have designed using<br />
Alaina's beautiful prints!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I'm looking forward to many more collaborations!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see her woodblock carving of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
President Lincoln near her toes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was inspired to add quilt blocks to my wool hooked rug pattern~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ohio star & pinwheel squares~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a bright yellow patch at the top, I feel he was a guiding light!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Applique style tulips... I had hooked him in the Springtime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
