Shades of Khaki ~

How many shades of khaki can there be?  WAY TOO MANY!  With names like Outerbanks, Barcelona Beige, Urban Putty, Safari Vest, Tatami Mat, Gobi Tan, Woven Straw . . .  Do paint makers have staff that do nothing but make up paint names?

For the last couple of years I have wanted to switch out my hooking room with my larger guest bedroom.  I wanted to paint before making the switch, but finding/making the time never happened.  I now have the problem called TMW (too much wool) and the hooking room is totally out of control no matter how often I try to clean it.  (It's a terrible problem to have, you know!)  I finally sweet talked, cajoled, bribed, hired my son to do it.  Which leads to the shades of khaki.  I want something very neutral as a backdrop because I hope to finally get some rugs hung.  J (short for Jason) likes Sherwin-Williams paint, so I've finally decided on Outerbanks for the walls and Urban Putty for the ceiling.  

The guest room is almost emptied and boy was there a lot of stuff.  It is now in the bathroom, my bedroom, the upstairs landing area . . . sigh.  I really don't like living in chaos!  

On a neatness scale of 1 to 10, I am normally about a 9 (at least in my mind!), so I can't believe this is what the hooking room looks like and I am really showing it to you!

I did finish one of my little pumpkin mats.  It ended up being about 10" x 12".  I like the look of the beading though I still find it awkward to hook.   

I used wool to bind the edges

It is a blustery, cold, rainy day here on Ohio's north coast.  I hope and pray that Hurricane Sandy does not wreak havoc on those of you to the east.

Thanks for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
