WHAT TO HOOK NEXT

Although I'm not quite done hooking the golden eagle adaptation, it's time for me to choose another as the main project.  Ezra's Farm is handy as a 'plus one' in a pinch.  As of today there are two on my radar and one of them I passed up previously.  That would be this antique chicken pair but now am giving it another look.
The other in the running is this antique Garrett Bluenose design below.  Garrett Bluenose started designing and selling rug patterns in 1892 and probably most known for his 3 Bears and Schooner designs.
In other news...yesterday afternoon it appeared to be okay to cut grass after all the rain of the previous day.  All went well for a while and then the riding mower just stopped.  Then discovered that particular section of yard was quite wet so a clump of yard debris had collected under and around the blades.  Whew, easy fix and I continued on with my task.  Today is to be sunny and 76 with more rain predicted the next couple days.  Glad the grass chore is done.

Have a couple errands to run and then home for lunch and hook more on my present project.

  2. i want to hook a similar chicken pattern, cannot find the pattern anywhere-- it has a bowl of feed between the chickens. I will email a photo to you in case it's the same one

  4. Chickens are great. We have had so much rain everything is soggy here. It is suppose to be better tomorrow and then pour for the next two days after.
    I need some sunshine.
    Glad it was an easy fix.

  5. I love them both. You couldn't go wrong with either. I'm a big intrigued by the stripes in the background of the Bluenose design. I'm glad you got your mower going again. Can you believe that (a) my lawn has not. been mowed once yet this season and (b) we are under a frost warning tonight? Yesterday was gorgeous and teased us with almost-summer-like temps but now I'm thinking it may have just been a dream.

  6. Love the chickens. I bet you would get bored with the horse rug with so much background and no blotchiness.
    I wanted to mow again today because with all the rain we’ve had I will need a goat when I get home in a week!
