Pattern on my Frame and Day 5

This pattern called to me at first sight and despite there were a few narrow cut motifs decided to buy it anyway.  That pattern would be Windy Day from W. Cushing.  Don't have a lot of progress but did decide to tackle the one cat using the narrow strips from the bag.  
On second thought wonder if using #7 or #8 could have done the job faster and if it would look more tidy since there are a lot of wool threads sticking up.  Have often heard narrow cut hookers say..."narrow cuts are so more forgiving than wide cut".  But to me the narrow cuts are unruly and hard to control.  Anyway, I will endure because once I get those 4 small motifs hooked it is fun time.

Now to DAY 5 of my broccoli sprouts.  Look how filled that jar is now.  And that was just with one tablespoon of broccoli seeds in a REGULAR canning jar, not the wide mouth jar spoken about on most web sites.

Since soup and salad is my dinner tonight I'll put some of that broccoli sprout delicacy on top of the salad, add cherry tomatoes and dressing of choice.

Hope everyone is healthy and staying happy in your own personal cocoon.  

Today I took the time to organize my WEB SITE.  After starting the web site weebly then upgraded and pages looked different.  Now they are all alike and on one page.  If you want to see the entire rug pattern you tap on the photo and it will enlarge.  Don't think all the patterns I offer are listed on it and will eventually get to that.  But at least it is easier to navigate there.

Happy Friday.

Narrow Cut Worms and Day 4

I'm preparing to start a new project so pulled out a few bags of worms in narrow cut to hook the small motifs.  That quilt size bag of narrow cut worms was inherited from departed friend Theresa.  
I received that and yardage a few years ago.  First thought was to give this bag to a friend who hooks in narrow cuts but those small cuts have really come in handy.  Most recently I grabbed some to outline the otherwise bland flowers in the rug below.
Here is a close up of one flower.
This is the result of those changes.
Also used some narrow strips from that large bag to outline the boat, the light sections of the whale and the narrow beauty line.  So those narrow worms sure do come in handy and glad I kept that bag.
Now to day 4 of my broccoli sprouts and the difference between yesterday's post and today is amazing.  As you can see there are still some seeds which will still germinate.  
Tomorrow I'll show you what, if anything, is accomplished on my new project.  Happy hooking and keeping my sanity.
