THIS and THAT

Are you wondering how my new rug hooking tactic is going?  Ya know, the one where I bring down one bag of woolie worms at a time, return it  and grab another?  Don't think it's going to work like I'd hoped.
The first bag of green worked well and that was returned to it's storage spot after hooking all the green I desired.  Then it was time to do the barn and wanted a red barn and dark grey roof.  So brought down 2 bags.  I will need red again for the rooster and since I wanted a grey horse brought the black bag of worms to the hooking party ~  the black for the mane and tail of the horse ~ then there were three.  

So the pile is growing.  And I'll need other colors for other motifs...like yellow, white, brown, you know where I'm going with this, right?  Appears it will still be a rat's nest by the end of this project, seems there's no tidy way to hook a rug, or at least for me. 

Remember I and a few other bloggers mentioned the skyrocket increase of visitors?  I've taken screenshots of the top referrers and number of hits from each.  This is one from today which seems to show corporate interest.
Here is a snapshot from about 2 weeks ago which appears as tho it may be research done by educational and financial institutions.  
Are they researching bloggers to see if we are using AI in some way?  Or are they looking to see what they can use from us to assist them in their use of AI?

I've noticed while perusing Facebook it is obvious you can't believe what you see or read.  Heck one can't even watch or listen to the news and believe what you just heard.  And if it is true, sometimes I just want to shut off all news and watch movies or something entertaining, not world politics and other negative events.

Today I also sewed on more rug labels and finally hung The Ark on the wall in my living room.
Happy hooking.

  1. I am glad you tried that method just to see if it works. I would of never thought of it.
    I have had to remind my husband that not all he sees online is true. I try to watch enough news to keep up to date and then I switch it.
    I am also seeing a huge increase in visits.

    I am not even going to try to figure out the crazy view numbers. Blogger just needed a new way to mess with us!
    I bet The Ark is the star of your wall!
