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.

Have fun at class and say hi to Cathy LOL...haven't seen her in a while. Bummer about the antiquing adventure - and the overcharge. Glad it will be made right. The busyness of your world makes my head spin. Safe commuting! ~Robin~
No need for me to say 'have a good time' because a good time automatically and magically happens at rug camp. Safe travels and don't forget to take loads to photos to share with us.
We so miss going to Springfield now. I have been seeing pics lately and sure wish we had gone. Oh well. Have fun at your class! Janice
sorry it was a bust but you got some gifts out of the way.
Have a wonderful time a horse of a different color sounds great to me.
Cathy
