The best laid plans ~

Any of you who have been reading my blog for a while, know that I have my doctorate in procrastination.  This time was going to be different.  HA!!!  The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Maybe if I hadn't decided to dye a few pots of wool???  This is one of my favorite dye recipes and had not dyed it in years.  I dyed three pots of varying strength.  A little more drab in person.  Not sure if it will work in my camp rug, but I am loving it.

Speaking of my camp rug . . . choosing a pattern is one of the hardest parts of going to camp.  I finally decided on this antique rug.  

You may recall that Saundra also hooked this back in 2022.  Here is her finish.  I hope mine is half that wonderful.

Instead of packing for camp, I decided I need to make some paisley hook pouches for the camp consignment store.  They don't look like much, but I am just incredibly slow and they are taking forever.  I am hoping to defray as much of the rug camp costs as I can!

Yesterday the weather in Jacksonville was scheduled for a high of 81*.  While we are there, it will be 25*-35* colder.  I know that's better than Ohio weather will be, but I am still a bit bummed.

I was supposed to have a hooking play day on Tuesday which would have me gone most of the day.  A selvedge project was planned and I was providing the selvedges, so thought I couldn't cancel.  Thankfully the hooker closest to me (about 40 minutes) is going and will take them for me.  That takes some of the pressure off!!!

Ok. Time to work some more on the pouches.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
