THIS and THAT

Last loops were pulled on the Lone Stag today and am excited to move onto the hearts and star pattern sitting on the side line.

I decided not to do the white outline around the deer since there is quite a value difference between him and the background anyway.  And, I changed the eye and mouth to darker wool.  Below is the way it was hooked before.

And comparing mine to the beautiful original antique mine looks anemic and sickly in comparison.  Oh well, maybe if I wipe my dirty shoes on mine enough times it will have a nice patina too.

Oh well, at least it is hooked and on 2/16 one month from the first posting.  Now it needs to be bound.

In her recent post, friend Lauren mentioned how many posts she's made since the beginning of her blogging journey.    She started blogging 2009 and had reached 2001 blog posts.  As I had no idea how many posts or when I started blogging I had to go check it out and took a screen shot.  

The total number posts I circled in red at the top.  I started blogging in 2011 and that you can see on the right side bar down toward the bottom of the page.

Yesterday the weatherman said we would get 1-3" of snow beginning tonight but this morning it changed to 2-5".  No plans to go anywhere and I've lots of hooking or binding I could do.  So come what may.

Happy weekend and happy hooking.
