MERRIE OCTOBER

I did it, I reverse hooked the 31st date and like it better.   It is now displayed on the sofa table but is the only fall/Halloween decoration out at the moment.  Before anything else is put out the house will need a good vacuuming.  But even before that I've two patterns to draw.

Had I realized ahead of time that I didn't want the date I would have moved the crescent moon over to fill in that empty spot.  But that is way too much reverse hooking  ~ I still like it better.  It is a design by Lori Brechlin and pattern offered by Spruce Ridge Studios.  Normally I'd make that a hyperlink but Kris' web site is under construction.  

BTW, a heads-up.....shipping has gone up once again.  I was shocked to see that a priority flat rate envelope shipping went up $1. 😠

   

Happy hooking and Merrie October to you all.

THE DEVIL I KNOW....

 ...vs. the devil I don't know; that's what I'm working on.  You guessed it, instead of drawing out yet another pattern which may or may not make the grade, I've decided to work on the Mary Comstock rug.  All the wool is gathered, most of the irritating hurdles (re-drawing motifs) have been hooked and the rug is near completion.

My intention was to do a post yesterday on the first of October but wanted to complete that right side of the rug first.  Still I want to welcome in Merrie October.  Dang, wish I'd not hooked the 31st and just let it say Merrie October.  Think I've more of that background color so maybe I'll reverse hook those loops ....and then maybe not 😊.  Design by Lori Brechlin and pattern offered by Spruce Ridge Studios.

We did need rain here, it has been raining since Friday and will continue to rain through Wednesday ~ that will have been 6 straight days of rain.  Thankfully it is on and off rain so no flooding.  Just hope it stays on and off and not constant torrential downpours.   My heart goes out to everyone in Florida who has suffered from Ian.  For those of you who may have wondered, Polly Minick is fine, her house is okay and she went to stay with her family.
