Feeling Blue ~

I found this dyed wool in my stash.  I have no idea when or where I purchased it, but I love how it is hooking up.  I have no idea what color to call it.  It is blue, but also grey blue and there are hints of green.

This is hooking up quickly.  It measures about 17” x 13”.

iPad and I are still fighting.  New blogger interface and I are still going at it, too.  Why does this have to be so difficult?  I am happy I can finally do a basic post from the iPad, but I am really struggling.  I still can’t figure out how to see a preview.  It says it is preparing it, but it is nowhere to be found

Thanks so much for stopping by and listening to me whine.      (Now why is this showing as double spaced?)

Gobble ~ Gobble

Primitive Gobbler, a pattern by Anne Nichols is finally hooked.  What a terrible picture, but you get the idea.  I am too frustrated with blogger to try to take a better one.

I plan to tone down a few of the feathers.  Easier to see on the above picture those that are a bit too bright.

Argh!  I am again trying to blog on the iPad this time with the new interface.  The new interface is NOT playing nice!  I click on preview and it says it is preparing the preview, but I haven’t found the preview.  I am going to publish so I’m hoping for the best 😩. Anyone else have that problem?

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy National Dog Day ~

Here’s Ernestine and Molly a few months ago when they still “sort” of liked each other . . . sigh.  I now call them “pit pugs” but I know I am insulting pits.  I don’t know what has gotten in to them but they can’t be within 5’ of each other without wanting to kill one another.  I have an email in to a dog trainer that works on behavior modification.  Something needs to be done, SOON!

Please remember, adopt, don’t shop 🐾🐾🐾

Sunset on Lake Erie ~

Last evening we took a walk on the "mile long pier" in Lorain.  The pier is not a mile long, but I could not find out how long it really is.  It was a beautiful evening for a stroll. 

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  It's so hard to believe August will soon be over.  Marly and I are not happy campers :(

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Primitive Gobbler ~

The official name of my 1847 Turkey is Primitive Gobbler.  I’ve made progress, but I thought I would have been done by now.  Since I am not fond of hooking letters or numbers, I am leaving that for last.

My naked ladies, aka resurrection lilies (Amaryllis Belladonna), bloomed prolifically this year.  This is my largest clump but I have many smaller clumps and even dug up some bulbs for a friend.

I know my blog friends in Arizona and California along with my son in Las Vegas have sweltering temperatures, but today in northern Ohio it is a beautiful day in the low 70’s.  The heat will be returning but what a delightful few days we have had.  It is so good to have the windows open enjoying the fresh air.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Gotcha ~

August 12, 2017, DSO and I picked up my new foster pug, Cheerilee.  (The month she came in to Ohio Pug Rescue was My Little Pony month. Hence her name.)

Five days later, DSO adopted her and changed her name to Ernestine.  Think Lily Tomlin from Laugh In.  Snort.  Snort.

Today is the 3 year anniversary of her “gotcha day”.  They are still happy campers.

Food for thought.

This is my second post from the iPad.  Still struggling a bit because after many years I am still iPad challenged and still using old blogger.  At least it’s a start!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

One Year Ago Today ~

Ten minutes in to our trip to Niagara Falls . . . rear ended while stopped at a red light . . . we never even made it to the highway.  Red bike that DSO and I was on was totaled.  My son’s very yellow Harley had many thousands of dollars in repairs.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS . . . we only had minor injuries.  I truly believe Someone was looking out for us.  It could have been so much worse.  DSO and I hung up our helmets.  My son still rides every chance he gets.  Every day I am thankful.

I am trying to blog from the iPad . . . using old blogger.  Wish me luck. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.
