FARM MENAGERIE UPDATE

Am still hooking on the farm menagerie rug awaiting the start date of the hook along.  If I didn't have this to work on I'd probably start Hearts and Squares early.

Some of the critters (chicks and rabbits) are so small it is hard to get a good shape hooking them.  For those I'm cutting #8.5 strips in half. Can see I've lost the shape of the horse's face, which is hooked in a wider cut.  Will try to fix that.  And what to do with the house color?  I don't want white.  Maybe a pale yellow but wanted yellow for the star.  And don't really want white for the star either.  Maybe I'll try a log cabin for the house.

After the photo was taken I pulled a few more loops but didn't bother taking another photo since it was the border.  Wasn't sure what color to hook the border with but eventually chose brown. 

Below is the original rug and at first I didn't know what the ladder or blocks were on  the left and right side of the rug.  Then decided it must be a fence.

Nothing monumental in the post, just me working my thought process through you on this format.  Hope everyone has a pleasant day....and happy hooking.
