Sorry to bore you with another update but nothing else is happening in my life. Some progress has been made on my rug, which I started about 10 days ago. So far my attempt at hooking trees in the distance doesn't seem to be working. Didn't intend for it to look like a forest, just a few other trees implied in the background. Will continue in hopes that once hooked it will have a hint there are other trees in the vicinity.
That said, am wondering if I should replace those light strips from the limbs of the distant tree. Maybe keep them there for now and see what it looks like when other further away trees are hooked.
Today I'd planned to start working on the sleigh. Then remembered in class a teacher taught us to 'hook what's on top first'. So guess I'll be working on the man with a hat and beard.
Yesterday I made a pot of unstuffed cabbage rolls and it was delicious. It's an easy recipe, the only thing that takes time is cutting up the cabbage. But perhaps not as bad as if I had to parboil the cabbage leaves and roll all the meat up into logs. I also chopped 2 stalks of celery in mine. If you want the recipe you can find it HERE.
Am going to venture out today for the grocery store. As the snow froze solid with the freezing rain on top of the snow, my feet walk on top of the ice. Obviously the tires on my 1,500 pound vehicle will penetrate the ice making a ridge down my long driveway. Hope I can get out and back without a problem with the single digit temps. BTW, normally this area would be in the 40's, so the weatherman stated yesterday.
Happy hooking everyone.
