Now What?

I've recently finished the sweet design Windy Day and almost finished hooking the Cat's Paw I drew.  It's getting almost to panic time as I don't know what to hook next.  There are several already drawn patterns in my stash, some PDF patterns I could draw out myself and a couple designs in the making but nothing definitive.  Will show you a few of those patterns.

It would be much easier to hook pattern already here ~ One is Early Bird, designed by Lori Brechlin and purchased from Spruce Ridge Studios
Also have a small version of Mary Comstock's Bed Rug,  a pattern on linen by Frontier Homestead. 
Two others which would be easy choices are Lori Brechlin's Wool Witch PDF.
Or When Pigs Fly, also in PDF format.  Hmm, maybe this one would be more fun in the fall.
Then a design in progress which was started about two weeks ago and I'm frozen in time....the pieces of paper drawings are still laying on top of my table.  I've temporarily lost interest in that although I was totally focused for a while.  Using a phrase from Lauren "I've the attention span of a gnat".

There are also 15 other already drawn patterns in my stash to choose from which won't require drawing out.  I've grass to cut but before that I've limbs and pine cones to pick up after the recent horrid wind.  That will give me time to ponder what will go on my frame when the Cat's Paw is done.

Happy sunny Saturday to you and hoping everyone is well and stays safe.

DECEMBER 5th AGAIN??

Yup, comes around once every year like clock work.   Uh, that would be my birthday; won't say how old I am after reading Lauren's (Rugs and Pugs) latest blog post 😀.
So today decided to treat myself to my favorite lunch at a not so local Chinese buffet where I dined on baked salmon, baked tilapia, calamari, broccoli and mushrooms, asparagus, string beans and two kinds of rice.  Yup, all of that went into my belly and I cleaned the plate.  Needless to say tonight's dinner will be salad.  Most would think I'd have nothing.

And, while out and about I picked up a little something to celebrate even more ~ it is that mustard colored wire basket to display more of my rugs.  Am determined to surround myself with the rugs I've created and which give me joy.  Besides, if they are visible I'll be more likely to recycle them on tables and chests more often.
Truth is I started treating myself early in the week buying rug patterns.  What's better is I've gotten all three at a very good price on ebay.  The first is a rug which has been on my 'to do' list for a long time and now won't have to draw it myself.  It is an antique adaptation called Early Farm Scene by Frontier Homestead.
Another design I liked is by Folk Art Landing and was also a bargain.
The other I haven't received yet but is this design by Lori Brechlin and sold by Spruce Ridge Studios.  I see a class with Kris Miller in my future and this is what will be on my frame when that happens.
Having a glass of Cab as I sign off.
