1922 FOX UPDATE

Here's an update on my vision of the antique fox rug.  Decided to hook my fox with a white tail tip and chest like the Delaware Red Fox instead of following the directional hooking of the antique.  Delaware also has a grey fox but didn't want those colors.
There's a strong possibility I'll reverse hook some of the brown in the background since it is too close to the color of the fox.  Yet the antique rug has brown in the background so will figure it out.  Also might change the cream colored elements....maybe.  
This evening I'll start on the date and background surrounding that.

Weather today was lovely and with a new mower battery installed was able to cut some grass weeds in the front yard and front parts of the side yards.  Did not cut the backyard as the ground is saturated and I'd have made huge tire ruts or worse gotten the mower stuck.  So the back yard will have to wait until the water dries up.  Don't know when that will be or where the water will go since the water table is so high and more rain later next week.

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend and please protect your eyes if you plan to look at the total eclipse tomorrow.  I saw glasses at Walmart for approximately $1.87 but didn't buy one as I've no plans to look since I'm not in the path of it's journey.

  1. That is one incredibly foxy fox GF.... Absolutely love him! We're having a wind storm with icy rain showers. Won't be seeing the eclipse either as it's supposed to be overcast and rainy. Besides, even in the southern part of the state it's only going to be 80% visible. Oh well. ~Robin~

  2. Am loving this fox and the colors! The dark background really makes the fox pop! We are in the partial view of the eclipse. Lauren will be right in the center so hopefully she will see the eclipse. Janice
