It still isn't done but at least I've made a little progress.
Hooking on it seems a bit more fun and less boring. Probably because I'll be attending rug camp and will get my 'new rug on the frame' fix real soon. Meanwhile I'll plug along on this for a while.
Thank you Julie (Primitive Heartstrings) for asking the size, as I should have mentioned that tidbit of information. The mat is small measuring 12" square.
Who knows, this just could be the piece which keeps me entertained until my teacher (Kris Miller of Spruce Ridge Studios) gets to me. Kris does a really cool thing when choosing who starts first. She writes a number on pieces of paper for the number of students she has, then puts them in a basket and has each student pick a piece of paper. Whatever number the person picks is the order in which the student will be color planned.
One year I was all settled in and working on a fun piece awaiting when the number pulled out of the basket was #1. Dang, of all times to be chosen first, lol. I've had numerous classes with Kris ~ she is fun and talented.
Happy Friday everyone.

I've looked thru my pattern stash and have a few options to consider. All the patterns are delightful but not all are speaking to me with the same strength. Here are the ones dangling like a carrot.
I have Old Tom which is a great design and just had to own it.
But have Turkey and Tallowberries which is beckoning me more with that blotchy 'make do' background. For you who have followed me for a while know that makes my heart sing. As you can see, both of these are designs offered by Spruce Ridge Studios and are patterns from the art work of Lori Brechlin.
Also on my short list of patterns to hook now is Olde Hearts, an antique adaptation pattern offered by Woolley Fox.
Got totally beyond bored with hooking the hit and miss small mat but did accomplish this. So back into the UFO section as a loner to await being rescued when once again there is nothing new planned for my frame. At least there is some comfort to know there is something waiting in the wings when I need a hooker fix.
Whew, am so glad that yesterday I chose to cut all my grass rather than break it up into two days. Yesterday was low humidity but after using the push mower for Ben's back yard thought about saving the riding mower until today. HA! Humid like a sauna out there so glad it was all done yesterday.
Have a great evening and hope you worker bees have an easy day tomorrow.

With NED all corralled and steamed he is resting and waiting for the final finish. Meanwhile and since there was no new rug design on my frame decided to pull out an old and only UFO.
This was started after a previously hooked rug was finished and no new rug on my frame planned. So decided to do a hit and miss mat with worms. Then got bored and tossed it aside ~ this is/was the only UFO I have.
So, okay..... I pulled a few loops and below is where I am.
Tonight I'll pull a few more loops but tomorrow it will go back to UFO Land because I need a real rug to hook and am sick of worms. So this is the UFO I STILL have.
Which means, of course, all these worms need to be separated and placed in their proper place.
What will go on my frame? Don't know yet. Tomorrow I'll show you the ones in my stash that might take that place.
Happy Sunday.
