Before Woolley Fox

Alrighty then..... Harvey's Magdalena is hooked and will bind it on the way to Woolley Fox.  Soooo, you're wondering what I'm working on now.  Happens to be the Man Cave rug. 

I've stressed out so much with trying to achieve the beer, foam and mug colors, have pulled loops and replaced and now I'm calling that DONE.  Hey, it's #8 cut and think it 'looks like' a beer mug so believe my son will be okay with it.
Guess it is a good thing I've nothing else to hook between now and when Barb's class starts next Monday since there are a lot of decisions which need to be made on this piece. 

Uh, like whether to have a beauty line or not... and if so what color?  The picture below has 3 rows of primitive black and then a solid red line between that and the blue background.
Then below is 3 rows of black border with a gold line.
Or, I could do a sort of hit and miss using all the colors of the pool balls. 
In the beginning my thoughts were to do a hit and miss.  But seeing all those colors placed on the rug I'm not sure I like it. 

So for the next few days my plans are to work on the letters and some background until my decision is made on beauty line.

As always I'd LOVE your feedback and suggestions.

Have a great evening.

  1. The beer mug looks great, I hook, and it looks like a beer mug to me. Of your 3 choices for a beauty line (didn't know it was called that) I love the gold. Hit/miss looks too messy (sorry) and the red to stark---my opinion What color are the letters going to be? If you can, take photos at Woolley Fox, would love to see what everyone is working on.

  3. Great job on the whole rug so far.... personal choice would be the gold or the red but not the hit and miss.

    Have fun at camp.

  5. Your beer mug looks fantastic. I squinted my eyes and it looks like a real beer mug good enough to drink. Hard to believe you achieved this with a #8.

    Take care and stay cool. I'm falling asleep at the computer trying to make my rounds of followers.

    Hugs,

    Have a great weekend.
