Sometimes I am like a dog with a bone who can't let go of it. Since posting this in-progress rug design (Moses and Moe) by Glenna Bailey of Wully Ram Studio my brain has been working overtime. At first I was going to order this pattern then remembered my grandfather had a miniature donkey and I had a picture of that. Plus, I had a horse as a teen and remembered pictures of me and my brother on the horse named Richie.
I only searched thru one old photo album and found these, which I scanned together, but there could be more photos. L to R is me as a teen, my 5 year younger brother (Joey), and pop-pop.
I showed Moses and Moe, my photos to friend Evelyn and told her of my plans. She suggested I remove myself from the horse and hook him rearing up and hook a barn wood background, that way it could be hooked in all neutrals. Problem is that photo is very blurry and cannot get the detail of Richie's face. Yeah, I know, it will be primitive anyway, right? The photo with my brother is more clear but less action going on. The photo with pop-pop has possibilities too.
Then I took the photo with me and cropped off the car and you can see how blurry the photo is.
So, guess I'll continue to think, plan and look for the perfect picture. Evelyn did tell me I was "persnickety". I wrote back saying, "Moi? persnickety?" And she said yes because she's heard me and knows I've pulled out loops and rehooked. But this is a project for the future as there are plans for Cape May so it is still on the burner simmering.
Wonder if my blog pals are giving Evelyn lots of entertainment and hope my mole is going to come thru with photos. Her identity isn't even known to me so think she is safe, lol. I'm envious of you folks at Sauder and bet you are have a fabulous time.

Had fun pulling a few loops on Hester to get that out of my system but really do need to finish the mat for my friend so it is back on the frame. This is a small piece so could easily be done tomorrow if I'd just hook and not stop to watch what's happening on the TV. Goes to show I can't chew gum and pat my head at the same time. Here's the cat mat now.
And the mystery hooker of the piece below has been identified thanks to a couple followers....thanks gals. The designer and hooker is Glenna Bailey and she has Wully Ram Studios. She named this design Moses and Moe. She doesn't have a web site but if you would like to contact her you may reach her HERE.
Drew another pattern today so tomorrow is shipping day for a few items. Hope you weekend was wonderful and for some it is back to the salt mine and for others it will be check travel and check in at Sauder.
Speaking of Sauder... for those of you who know me or Evelyn we have this playful banter that has been ongoing for many years. I sent her a link to the blog post where I mentioned 'having my entourage take pictures of the rugs in her class'. She said, "I think they give us DO NOT ENTER signs. To that I responded, "That's okay I've got a mole inside".
So Jo, don't know if your friend reads my blog but you may to let her know the inside joke. I tried to write you personally buy you are a NO-REPLY blogger so couldn't send. Well, I could type it and send it but you wouldn't get it....would go to a dead letter box somewhere in cyberland.
Hope your day tomorrow is great and I'm envious of all you Sauder participants.
