NOVEMBER ALREADY?

You wouldn't know it was November if you were outside here today as it is still in the 70's.  This weekend it will be in the normal mid 60's, not bad for November.

As promised, I'll share my few recent accomplishments:

    ~ yesterday I removed more invasive periwinkle and decorative grass which both multiply faster than wool worms.

    ~ enlarged two rug designs but haven't drawn either on linen yet.  Am thinking the antique below will be my next project when the Grande Fleur is finished.  

Not sure what the plus one, sidekick, will be yet.  But when I know will draw each out and color plan both at the same time.  The plus one will be kept in a basket nearby so the switch will be easier.

And my fails:

     ~ overdyed (again) some lackluster primitive black wool dyed previously with hopefully better results.  Here it is on the line.

However, that photo is misleading so took a photo once inside and folded which gives a much different point of view.  It is a tad darker and I'm a tad happier.  Yet will call it a fail.  Not going to over dye these AGAIN as in the past they will be good to use somewhere.

Yesterday I'd had my heart set on making chicken rice soup but it was too hot and no longer was in the mood.  Temps will be a little lower tomorrow in the 60's so tomorrow is the day for my homemade chicken rice soup.

Just had a thought, there is a rug camp every November just an hour away but I chose to not sign up this year.  It is comforting to think I'll be home hooking at my leisure without the additional cost and regimented mealtimes.  Seems like I've become a comfortable old recluse 😌. 

Hope you all have a great evening and enjoy your quilting, stitching, hooking or punching ~ whatever makes you happy and be creative.
