I've hooked but as usual not as much progress as I had hoped for!
This is cigar box #9 for me . . . and I've committed to one more that has not yet been started or even planned. Our guild puts on a wonderful hook in and I want this one to be just as much fun with lots of goodies to give away as door prizes.
I am pleased with the progress made on my Classic Santa pattern from the Donna Hrkman class. (As usual, no matter how many pictures I take, the color is so wrong 😡) A bit challenging is an understatement. I am going against Donna's wishes and hooking with some 7 cuts, which is still much smaller than I normally use 😁
And finally, progress on Proud Lion. I have been stumped on the color to hook his body. The overdyed wool chosen by the teacher has lots of pink tones in it. I am NOT a pink person. I thought maybe I "borrowed" some body wool from this project??? Had a different lion body color been chosen? It's been so many years ago, I really haven't a clue.
Tomorrow Sue and I are off to a couple day hook in over in Shipshewana, Indiana. Sue is great with color so hopefully she will find the perfect lion body color for me!
See you when I return.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

I love when you post ' hooky stuff'. Hearts are perfect for the red, white and blue! I enlarged the santa and cannot tell the difference in strip sizes except for the eye ~ you go girl! Lion pot of flowers is looking good and my favorite flowers are the nice shade of purple which only has a tint of that color me thinks.
Take loads of photos when you get up to peruse the room at your next class.
er, class, hook-in, all the same to me.
Wow your Santa looks fantastic ! His eye is perfect !!! Your Lion looks great too and your cigar box is really cute ! Have a lot of Fun at your Hook In !!!
Have safe travel and a fun time! Santa, lion and cigar box are all looking great. I’m always impressed by the amount of work you hookers accomplish along with the everyday “activities of daily living” (an old time nurse/medical phrase).
Looks to me like you've gotten a lot of hooking in. (No comments about even one strip of wool being hooked being "a lot" in my realm.) All of the projects are looking great. Safe travels and have fun the next several days!
Number Nine is FINE! Me always loves hearts. Your Santa looks mighty fine to me and good luck with finding the right color for Proud Lion's body. He looks good too. Safe travels and hope you and Sue have fun. Janice
