THE CRYSTAL BALL

If I was to look into my crystal ball at this very second, the center part of this antique triptych rug would be on my frame next.
In 2021 I hooked the Shield section of the rug to display during Patriotic holidays.  Hmm, me thinks that bold white definitely needs to be dirtied up a tad.
This time my sights are focused on the Eagle.  Perhaps since it is already drawn on linen it will really happen.  But then I've been known to change my mind even before wool is gathered.  However, I'm not quite halfway thru the deer rug so still days/weeks away from a finish.

In other boring personal news: 

Tuesday had my taxes done and I'm getting $700+ from the Feds and $300+ from the state.  Which means they've had that money for months when I could have had it.  So now I need to contact my bank and tell them to stop withholding taxes from my IRA distributions. 

Thursday was quite warm outside so whittled away at the Wisteria vines again.   So far I've filled the trash container 5 times and there's more vine left to dispose of.  Some vine is too thick for me to lop off so will eventually need to ask my neighbor if he can use his chain saw to cut those in sections for me.

Friday I had two new tires and front end alignment on my 2003 vehicle so all is good there after $415 spent.  But as that old saying goes ..."all dressed up and no place to go".

Sneezing anyone?  There must be a lot of pollen blowing around with these high winds as I've been sneezing constantly.  Did not realize the sinuses could create so much mucus.  Oh, is that TMI? 😑

Hope your weekend is wonderful and your rug hooking project makes you happy.

  1. I’m looking forward to your posts on the eagle hooking project when it begins. As for sneezing etc oh yes! I think the frequent changes in temperature isn’t helpful.

  2. Oh I so love that whole patriotic rug. It is snowing here right now again. No Spring yet. We usually have to pay taxes so not looking forward to what our CPA tells us this year. UGH The luxury of owning your own business...not. Janice

  3. The eagle will be a fun project. I have had one of Cathy's eagle designs for several years now...one of these years I'm going to actually hook it LOL. Like Janice, I always owe taxes and so I procrastinate getting them done...but this year I should have had them done a long time ago because of the probate mes. So, yes, that's my weekend project. Grrrr. Snow in the forecast again for tomorrow here. Grrr x 2.
