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 😊

Your chair pad looks really pretty . I took art classes , but the color wheel didn't make a lot of sense to me and I still struggle with that too . Especially when I see orange & purple opposite colors . LOL
Stupid Ground hog !!!!
Since we live near Canada, the Canadian groundhog did not see his shadow, so I am going with his prediction. LOL Your chair pad is looking so patriotic! Janice
I knew you could easily find appropriate colors from you worms vs. cutting more wool. Mighty fine Eagle it is too.
As for the weather, I'm finding it hard to live in my neck of the woods so for sure I wouldn't survive in Nod either. Wonderful heart pillow, you do those so well.
Ooooo....I'm loving your eagle pad! I don't think I will ever understand color "values" (but you'd probably LYAO to know that I have a small color wheel in my closet (somewhere)....don't ask.) And, of course, I love your handtorn heart....someone's heart is going to be very happy when they get it. I'm not complaining about our weather right now....We're above 0º but I know full well there is still a lot of winter to come here. Actually, March and April can be some of our snowiest months...and there's still February for the frigid temps. That's why I'm never bothered about what that pesky groundhog has to say....I'm not sure he'd survive a Nod winter either. ;-)
