A Finish, But Not a Pillow

Not to worry, photos of my step by step progress is being worked and will show an installment tomorrow.  Yesterday I finally finished binding Hannah's Hen (a Woolley Fox Design).  Sadly it didn't fit on the wall area it was planned for.  But it sure has a nice home here on my antique school marm's desk.
Even tho the pillow project is still in progress must confess that I was a little frenzied here today since there is nothing on my hooking frame.  Perhaps I'd have been a little less frazzled if there was at least something on it, started or not. 

While wool was sitting in the dye pot for the pillow, I reviewed the list of rug patterns in my stash to see what beckoned me to hook.  Nothing struck me.  Then became even more upset and began looking at rug magazines with patterns, all my Not Forgotten Farm booklets but then I'd have to enlarge the design, tape the pages together and draw it out.  WAAAHHHH, I wanted it NOW!

Becoming more agitated (hmm, beginning to sound manic now don't I?), so wrote to my pal Evelyn and told her of my dilemma.  The wise woman told me to pull out my worms, a small piece of linen and draw something geometric.  But by that time the over dyed, toned down wool was dried and could continue with the pillow project.

Do I have a next rug design ready to go yet?  NO!  But you can bet there will be sometime tomorrow!!!!!!

Have a great evening everyone.
