WEEKEND FORECAST

My forecast this weekend is that I will be hunkered down inside my home hooking.  Hopefully I won't lose power and will have a warm house since there was a propane delivery last week for the furnace.  

This is an update of progress (or lack of) on Shadow Sleighride.  Like Lauren, I'm never happy with how little has been hooked.  I'm going to try to do something in those 2 empty spaces between trees.  Am going to attempt making it appear as tho there are trees in the distance.  Hope it works.

Now for the weekend weather forecast ~ As most of the US is experiencing or about to experience, here is the winter weather advisory for my area.  Seaford is in the purple area so I'm expected to be inundated with between 6-12" of snow.  THEN...after that comes thru, there will  be a rain/sleet mix (see the green color behind the host) which will be on top of the snow.

I've already put out my driveway and property markers for when, if when, a neighbor snow blows or plows.  Have heard the snow will be heavy so this might cause limbs and trees to fall and possibly cause power outages.  Sure hope not. 

Hope everyone has something to keep them occupied and this time I do have hot chocolate in my cabinet.  Happy hooking.

WHAT'S ON MY FRAME?

If you thought I'd choose this one, you were right.  Besides, it is "Year of the Horse" according to the Chinese Lunar calendar.

I've only recently begun hooking and wasn't sure if I wanted to hook a snowy ground or dark as in the antique.   Afterall, a sleigh slides on snow.  But a sleigh ride in the shadows has much more mystery and excitement, doesn't it?  So Shadow Sleighride it is.

You will notice I reduced the depth of the ground by about 1" from the original antique.  Not sure if I'll regret that or not but could always add a couple extra hooked rows later if I do.  Something else bothering me is the disjointed lines behind the horse's neck.  Am thinking it may have been intended as part of the rein system.  So not sure how I'll handle that yet, but did draw it in.
