Remember the Dollar Tree? Me too, the old one; and remember when it changed to the $1.25 Tree. Today I went there hoping to find a small witch broom in the Fall/Halloween section to use at the top of the Witchy Woman piece to hang at the front door. No witch's broom was there but did pick up a 2027 calendar which last year I paid $1.25 for. This year the price is $2. Yes, still inexpensive but noticed Dollar Tree carries more expensive items now well beyond $2. Wonder if they will change their name since Dollar Tree name is no longer valid?
I didn't grow up in a 'throw away' society but rather a 'make do' one. So decided to replace the elastic in a perfectly good pair of working shorts. They were comfortable but the elastic was shot. Now they are good to use again.
The sink hole was finally repaired. Just hope I don't need to call them back in another 5 months due to another sink hole appearing in the area. This was the before but with the almost 3 week wait the hole got a little bigger.
Here is a photo right after the repair and guess they placed sand on top to absorb any wet asphalt and help harden it.
Then came a storm in the afternoon and washed away the sand so it now shows the repaired area a little more clearly. Kept my feet in the photo so you could see the size of the repair.
Witchy Woman is all hooked and will do the binding/covering back during The Five.
Now the back ~ looks like I have a few ripples to fix before the other sides are stitched.
There's just one rug my frame now, Crossed Hearts. The heart is completely hooked and am plugging hooking away on the hit and miss background. Next project still not drawn on linen but present plan is to hook Magdalena's Double Horses first.
Lastly, do you need or want a little hooked something for Halloween? FOR SALE, "Hester", a design by Lori Brechlin and hooked by me, which was in Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine. $148 plus shipping. Contact me if interested.
That's it folks. Happy hooking.
