Are You Ready For An Update

Hello friends.

I am really loving hooking this rug!

Since I am only able to hook on weekends

when I am at the store...

not much was accomplished the first day after

my last update.

I had to do inventory and check in more inventory. 

I was only able to complete the Woman's head,

hat and collar.

The next day it was snowing,

so I was able to accomplish more

with hardly any customers coming in.

Started the dress in a tweed-like wool.

Blues, reds and white.

I also reverse hooked the collar.

I felt the gray I first had chosen

washed out and there was no definition.

I like the darker green I chose.

Yeah I know I dont like green, but in person

its hard to tell this is a green wool.

Here is the wool I chose for her dress.

 I used the same green for her riding gloves.

Saundra added lines in the bottom part

of the dress to show the direction to hook.

I took advantage of these lines to add in a darker

wool for an added rendition. Also hooked one row

to the left in the same darker wool.

Was going to redo the dress buttons

that I did as French knots...but heck this 

makes it more primitive.

Well this is my update of

Woman On Horseback.

My last post had her as a Lady.

I realized Saundra wrote the name on the linen. 

DUH

The green at the bottom was the shirt I was wearing.

I was bent over a bit at the store when taking this last pic.

You can also see my black shoes. 

In other news,

my mom's eye appt went well.

She usually spends a few days with us,

but this time wanted to get back as her

church was doing a soup and bread dinner.

Everyone brings a soup to try while others

bring homemade breads.

Sounds wonderful.

She was making cabbage soup.

(I love this veggie soup) 

Tomorrow I go back to the same eye doctor.

Bob is having another peripheral vision test.

Hopefully his left eye is getting better,

but my gut is telling me it is not.

Since my mom left early,

I will head to her house Friday after work

and spend the night with her this time.

Gives us more time together.

Well have to get to work now.

Update Blessings To All!
