Happy Presidents' Day ~

 

One more heart rug I forgot to show on my last post.  An antique adaptation hooked 8 years ago.  Wow, as I always say, time sure is flying.  This is in the upstairs bathroom in front of the vanity.  It was color planned in a class, but I am not wild about how it came out.  To the left you can see my lovely pink tile 😛  I am  hoping to have the room remodeled this year, but haven't yet figured out what I want to do.

The eagle mat is finished except for the label.  It was bound by folding the linen forward and whipping with wool.  I find it very tedious and hard on the fingers to get the wool worms through the linen.  Plus to get good coverage, I ended up with a very curly edge.  (The color in this picture is more accurate than the next one.)

Thankfully a good steaming worked miracles!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Finish and a Christmas Miracle?

 

I have finally finished the hooking on the heart hook along hosted by Saundra.  The finished size is 33" x 22.5".  I rehooked the center of the left heart and like it much better.  Of course the dreaded binding hasn't been started.

I have been a crazy Christmas decorating fool for over a week.  I have never started this early (only ever once started before Thanksgiving).  I have the BIG tree left to trim which is a major task (I always leave that for last), but other than a few piddly things, the inside will be done.  I don't do too much outside, but have that left and want to put together some crocks filled with greens.  If I can pull this off and have a relatively stress-free Christmas season, it will be my Christmas miracle 😁

We woke up to our first real snow of the season.  Maybe 2-3" ~ and schools are closed.  Seriously???  I have no recollection (I know I am old!) of school ever being closed for snow or the cold.

The view out my dining room window.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
