Udate on Long Island Farm

I haven't had my Shadow girl on my frame for a few days and while I've only hooked on LI Farm it doesn't appear much has been hooked.  For those just joining, it is a design by Lucille Festa of American Country Rugs and measures 24 x 25......that one's for you Lauren ;~)   And I'll explain the reason not much has been hooked below.

This is what it looks like right now and as soon as I publish this blog post will go back to it.  A picture without a flash which is always a little blurry.  I'm planning to take a little license with the fence too but guess I'll have to wait until the perimeter rows are hooked in for the border first.
And a picture with a flash which tends to make things lighter and brighter than in person.
So, my excuses for not accomplishing more is that I leave Sunday for a hooking workshop.  Yeah, I know that's several days away.  BUT, I've had doctor appointments, picking up my grandson from school, shopping for lumber and supplies for the house/Ben sitter to do work around here for me while I'm gone, etc. 

Worse is that I haven't even started gathering and pack my hooking stuff up yet and my wool room looks a wreck from the rugs I'm presently working on.  But, hey, you know how we hookers are.  When it comes time for a rug camp we make do and will be there on time.  Whether or not the cleaning gets done here before that remains to be seen.  Hopefully my house/Ben sitter will be kept busy and won't notice I haven't cleaned for him.  But I did promise him some chicken rice soup to heat up so that is a 'must do'.

Have a great evening everyone, gonna put LI Farm back on my frame.

  5. Lucky you ...a hooking adventure awaits. If your wool room was neat and tidy, I would know nothing was getting done. ;)
    Chicken Rice soup sounds great for these cool days.
