Revisiting Spike

Have accomplished a little more on Spike but he's still not done.  Spent time in the wool room looking at the next pattern for my frame.  Yeah, I know.... should have spent that time working on Spike instead.
For reference, below is a photo of the original antique.  My rendition isn't even close to a mirror image of the antique.  That's okay, as she used different wool or homespun's than me and I'm trying to keep this an uncomplicated project as a sample for the pattern.
Saturday it rained all day, yesterday it rained and the temperature reached a high of 69 degrees.  Rain again today and 3 pm the temps were 44 degrees.  Delaware has 'Forest Gump weather' as you ....."never know what you're gonna get".

Happy Monday.

Rug Updates

Spike is still a work in progress and as small as he is (14 x 20) you'd think I'd be done by now.  In all honesty I don't hook all day but am guilty of wasting time doing heavens knows what.  

When I was an 8-5 Admin Asst my house was cleaner and prioritized my time better.  Oh, but also wasn't a rug hooker then either.  HA, now retired I just sorta do what I want whenever.  There's much more dust on my table tops but am enjoying life a lot.
Will work on Spike again tomorrow but this evening will begin binding Magdalena Goat ~ the smaller size.  You'll have to wait and see if I changed the feet or not when a final picture is posted.

Have a great evening.
