Darn Phil ~

 

Punxsutawney Phil Saw his shadow this morning.  Legend states that we will have six more weeks of winter.  We have not seen above freezing temps in eight days here in northern Ohio, and the forecast is currently showing we will not for at least the next eight.  Normally we do not have that long a freezing spell.  I am just thankful that I do not live in Robin's Nod.  I don't think I could survive a winter there.

As stated in my last post, I have never taken an online class before, but Katie Hartner (A Nimble Thimble) who owns the Woolley Fox offered a class on mastering values.  Even after hooking for over two decades, I still do not understand much about color, value, warm and cool, etc.  I hadn't a clue how to use the color wheel.  This class gave me a much better understanding.  As part of the class fee, we got to choose a 13" round chair pad in the "Magdalena style".  I choose the eagle, and here is my progress so far.  I should be done already, but oh well.  Hopefully soon!


I also finished one of the hand torn hearts I had hooked and got it sewn in to a pillow.  (More red in person.)  It will be on its way to its new home this afternoon.

Only 46 days until spring 🌷

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
