Well I figure if you can't beat'm join'm ~ political correctness that is. So instead of lumberjack I used lumberjane. Last Sunday I purchased a 12" Kobalt portable, rechargeable battery operated chainsaw. Previously I've used a big lopping tool but I don't have the upper strength to lop thru certain thicknesses. Recently I used my new tool to cut up limbs from a larger tree a neighbor cut down for me. And this morning cut off the thicker branches of a pine tree so I no longer have to duck under and can get closer to the trunk of the tree with the mower.
The Thin Blue Line is moving to the sidelines for now since all the stars have been hooked so only background needs to be completed on it. At least it is there for me to fall back on if I run into a snag with the new one on the frame.
Would you believe I finally accomplished my goal of designing a rug I'd thought about, started then stopped dead in my tracks? Am proud that I stayed with it and didn't give up like before. But now it is drawn on linen and who knows what the future holds for this pattern. Guess you'll have to stay tuned to see what it is and how or if it develops into a rug....or not.
Oh gee, you can't see the design? Shucks guess my camera was focused improperly 😚. When there is something substantial to show you'll see what it is and maybe I'll have a name for it by then.
Yeah, in the background you can see the Potted Plant waiting to be bound. Also waiting for the remainder of binding is Jewel Basket. Since I hate binding and hate waiting for anything, plans are to take them to work on the day my van service work is done. That is 6/29 which will take about 3 hours ~ that's a long wait. I'm sure they would bring me home like they did once before but am sure time will fly by when doing binding.
