Misc. Chit Chat

 A little work never hurt anybody but a little play is way more fun.  From around the pond I removed and transplanted daylilies but there are more daylilies and other flowers which need to be transplanted.

Also carried 2 wheelbarrows full of leaves to the back where the ground is low and flooding occurs after too much rain.  When those leaves decompose they become dirt and gives me a place to dispose of them.

I haven't pulled a loop on the horse rug today....yet.  But did hook that top for Shadow's ashes.  Since her ashes didn't come in a nice box and the white crematory box with her and my name was sad, decided to hook a box with her name and paw prints on the other sides.  As mentioned in a previous post each time I walked by it the sad view of the top gave me bad memories.  

So today I hooked a small square from a piece of scrap linen and placed it on top.  Matter of fact it was from a Woolley Fox pattern purchased from Barb so brought back fond memories.  I save the big scraps for things like this or to add to another piece of linen to fit the frame.

Now it looks better and I'm happier.  The bear I made for me from my grandmother's mink coat.   

But first I made this jointed bear for my  mother.  Mom-mom was in the Navy and pop-pop in the Coast Guard.  I've seen photos of them in uniform but don't remember their service, perhaps I was too young then.  If you look on the bear you can see a USN charm.  

Well, think it is about time for moi to play with wool and have a glass of cabernet sauvignon 🍷. Happy hooking.
