Too Late Smart



changing a bit of the already hooked area on the left
using up my stash of dark strips quickly
this will require some cutting
 


growing up my parents
had a few of these trivets
hanging on the wall in the rec room

one of my favorites was similar to the one above
Dad and I often spoke of how true it was

too soon old
too late smart

That is sooo true....youth is wasted on the young...that's another one I love, but never understood until I got old! Love your rug...the colors are gorgeous, Kelley!

That saying is so true, great saying for a rug.

Some doesn't believe that, and they could go on and on... Like a loop to proof they still sharp and smart. Plenty here...in Thailand. Lucky, I'm a cat I can do nap when they do that...tee...heh

My mom always said the same thing!
Your rug is looking amazing as always.
Looks like your dyeing was a success, except for the pale pink-orange-flesh tone :)

Your dyeing is lovely. I'm afraid that the only self-dyeing I've tried is just to walnut stain. Works well on linen, not so much on wool. LOL
