1922 FOX UPDATE

Here's an update on my vision of the antique fox rug.  Decided to hook my fox with a white tail tip and chest like the Delaware Red Fox instead of following the directional hooking of the antique.  Delaware also has a grey fox but didn't want those colors.

There's a strong possibility I'll reverse hook some of the brown in the background since it is too close to the color of the fox.  Yet the antique rug has brown in the background so will figure it out.  Also might change the cream colored elements....maybe.  This evening I'll start on the date and background surrounding that.

Weather today was lovely and with a new mower battery installed was able to cut some grass weeds in the front yard and front parts of the side yards.  Did not cut the backyard as the ground is saturated and I'd have made huge tire ruts or worse gotten the mower stuck.  So the back yard will have to wait until the water dries up.  Don't know when that will be or where the water will go since the water table is so high and more rain later next week.

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend and please protect your eyes if you plan to look at the total eclipse tomorrow.  I saw glasses at Walmart for approximately $1.87 but didn't buy one as I've no plans to look since I'm not in the path of it's journey.

PRINTERS, SCANNERS and PATTERNS, OH MY!

Thought for sure I'd found a way to circumvent the inability to print out patterns from the computer using the Paint program and the HP 6600 scanner/printer.  But that didn't turn out as expected.  It was if the devil himself had corrupted it and was useless.  Since I had an order for this lovely pattern (1922 Fox) I went out and purchased a new Epson printer/scanner.

I spend over 2 hours trying to get it to communicate with my wifi with no success.  Finally gave up at 5 p.m.  Took the damn thing back the next morning and ordered another HP which was delivered just before noon today (Saturday).  

It's not as nice as the HP 6600 (when it worked) but at least this one does the job.  Got it hooked up easily, was able to print out the paper pattern and just finished drawing it on linen. It's ready to ship on Monday.

Quite a drop in temperature from earlier in the week, got spoiled so these normal temps feel uncomfortable.  Thanks for the leftover vegetable soup taken out of the freezer this morning, my dinner is already planned.  It's just about 5 O'clock and I'm almost ready for my celebratory glass of cab while pulling a few loops on Star and Hearts.
