Getting Ready ~

Crazy busy day as usual . . . well perhaps a bit busier than normal.  My Cathy Stephan class begins tomorrow.  It is about an hour and a half commute with light traffic but I may hit some rush hour traffic on the way.  I am too cheap to get a hotel room 😁  The good thing about commuting is that I can bring additional wool to class the following days.  I still have to pack all the hooking supplies ~ wool, cutter and blades, pattern, Ott, etc.  

Here is the wool I have gathered so far for class.  I am pretty sure I want a horse of a different color (blue . . . lol) but that's about as far ahead as I have thought so I have just grabbed some wools that I like.  Sitting on top is the wool I just dyed.  Lousy color . . . of course.

The wool I dyed the other day.  Some of it has a slight pinkish cast, but maybe it will work in my rug.  On the right are some of the wools I overdyed.

I need to do yard work today.  The grass cannot wait until Friday to be be mowed unless I want to get a goat.  Also need to water the plants.  We are getting to the point that rain would be most welcome.

Antiquing was pretty much a bust.  Not even half of the normal number of vendors at the flea market.  At the antique mall, there were maybe eight vendors set up outside, selling flea market-y items, not antiques or even vintage IMHO.  I did buy a few gifts and came home to find I was overcharged $10.  Thankfully they found my slip and will mail me a check.  It is just a fluke that I noticed the error but am happy I did.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs 😊
