Hooking and Stitching

this is as far as I got yesterday

using strips from the worm baskets

out of colors I want to use from here on in

 personal challenge to finish hooking

without cutting another strip

Inspiration:

 

from New England

1920-1930

love those faces

 

haven't stitched on naything in ages

maybe even since Mom passed in May

log cabins are a perennial favorite

cutting some strips this morning

to put in my work tote

*****

also in my work tote is some car wax

we wax the x ray tables and slide boards

making it easier to move patients on/off from carts

since I'm obviously not keeping up with car waxing...

Wishing you a beautiful Sunday! 

Hooker's Helper

while Olivia surveys the garage

for any sign of  a mouse, chipmunk or grasshopper

Melrose takes advantage 

the chance to sit on a rug in progress

he never sits on them while they are on the frame

(unlike Olivia)

I'm still deciding to what to hook

in the middle of this little mat...

maybe he's suggesting a black cat

this is the last scrap of linen

from a large rug design I'd tried to hook

many times and always rejected

feels good to have it gone!

small pumpkin mat

not so bright in person...

using up some scraps makes for a great background

next up will be a little quilt started last year

adding some applique and the binding

looks like this month is all about

finishing what I start...

tough work for a chronic procrastinator
