Primitive Gobbler ~



The official name of my 1847 Turkey is Primitive Gobbler.  I’ve made progress, but I thought I would have been done by now.  Since I am not fond of hooking letters or numbers, I am leaving that for last.


My naked ladies, aka resurrection lilies (Amaryllis Belladonna), bloomed prolifically this year.  This is my largest clump but I have many smaller clumps and even dug up some bulbs for a friend.


I know my blog friends in Arizona and California along with my son in Las Vegas have sweltering temperatures, but today in northern Ohio it is a beautiful day in the low 70’s.  The heat will be returning but what a delightful few days we have had.  It is so good to have the windows open enjoying the fresh air.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren

Like we needed further affirmation that we're twins??? Why I chose to hook a honking big rug with tons of words/letters is beyond me. And, yeah...1/2 hr sounds about right. ;-) Your Primitive Gobbler is looking fantastic!! You really have a gift with colors. We too have had an amazing stretch of perfect weather....although now we could do with a bit of rain. Leaves are turning...and a few (ok...a bit more than a "few" today) are falling. Not ready to kiss summer goodbye yet...and I do hope we have a good fall...(yeah, I know...I get greedy right away)....we were cheated last year. The leaves turned half-heartedly and were gone in a matter of a couple of days. ~Robin~

We have had that wonderful air too. But the heat is coming back for the weekend.
I love your turkey I need to dig mine out but I think it was much smaller.
love your naked ladies I had never heard of them before this year.

That turkey rug has long been on my list of rugs to hook. I keep thinking THIS is the year. Apparently not!
Love yours. Beautifully done.

Your colour choices for the rug are just gorgeous!

Cute pun on the wine. Your turkey is looking good, I actually don't mind letters and don't go to the trouble of hooking a strip in first, pulling it out then using the 'real' wool. I do it once and it stays.

I really, really love your colors. I love that rug too. There is just something about turkeys. So are your beautiful flowers. What a lovely bunch. I am so glad you have cooler weather. It has been pretty warm. But all in all this summer hasn't been as bad as some summers in years past. We have to have a little hot weather. I am so glad you have got to open your windows.That sounds like bliss.

Really nice job on the Gobbler! My Resurrection lilies haven’t bloomed yet. Yours are lovely.

I love the rug. I paid an insane amount of money for the booklet with the oop pattern and have never made it. You have reminded me, I need to go find it. It's been nice weather here also, but is heating up again for the weekend and next week. Fall and winter can't come soon enough! Melinda

Very handsome Tom.
