Just HAD to Start

Hey, with a newly drawn pattern who doesn't want to pull some loops?  Just a few loops were pulled last evening and today I spent two hours having maintenance work done on my van so managed to put in a little time doing undesirable binding work ~ nope, not anywhere near done with the small piece and didn't even have a chance to work on the Blue Line.  

This is the drawing of Magdalena's Rooster, Duck and Horse rug with just a little hooked so I can see how it looks on my PC monitor.  

Tomorrow I'll continue with the Ox Farm to get it closer to the finish line before loosing my mojo on it.

Received an email this morning that a pattern I recently ordered will arrive this Friday.  Am excited to receive it but will save that one for Cape May.  And recently heard Cape May is a GO!!!!!!  Am so excited.

Happy hooking.

My Next Project Drawn Plus a Question

I have finally drawn my next Magdalena project Rooster, Duck and Horse.  Must say it was really a struggle for me and almost gave up.  Problem was more with the angle of the photo at the top than the distortion at the bottom.  

Had a similar problem when drawing out Lisa's Horse pattern from the photo below, tho the angle wasn't as bad as the one above.

I enlarge my own patterns with the Paint program included with the Microsoft Windows program and don't see any way to enlarge incrementally the size of a photo at one end to meet the dimensions at the other.  So now the question: is there anyone out there who is way more computer or software savvy than me who can help or inform me how to do it?   Or what software is required?

On another topic, since being on antibiotics my stomach has felt queasy most every day.  As the swelling and pain are gone from the hand and have been on meds for a week I declare myself finished with them.

Am a little excited to start the Magdalena but will wait until tomorrow.  Don't plan on seeing much of anything for a few days on either of the pieces I'm working on tho ~ errands and vacuuming tomorrow, Tuesday have my car at the shop for 2-3 hours where I'll spend time binding a rug.  Can't think of a better time to do binding than waiting for a car repair.

Happy hooking.
