Oh how I stuffed myself yesterday, and did partake of a couple items which are only on my plate once a year. Frankly, there were a few years when they did not appear on my plate at all until my cholesterol and triglycerides were under control. So now only once a year I put a small dollop of dressing and mashed potatoes on my plate.
Since my son and Cathy don't like dark meat I got to bring home the carcass and dark meat. Today's lunch will be part of a turkey thigh and fresh cooked kale. This afternoon the process for making turkey rice soup will begin, along with freezing turkey meat for recipes to come.
As there is only Olde Ducks in the process here it is all there is to show you the progress on. Didn't get many loops pulled since the last time but here it is.
Here is what Magdalena's original looked like. It is not known if Magdalena hooked two rugs or if one picture was taken of the original and then again later after repairs. I'm looking at both pictures as I hook mine with my selection of wool and worms. Trying desperately to reduce the number of already cut wool strips that I can.
As much as I'd love to be working on a second rug at the same time, there are so many bags of wool worms around me which gets unruly at times, just can't bring myself to make the clutter worse. Maybe a dye pot should be brought out in a day or two just to give me something else to do.
Have a great day everyone.

Yup, the Lollipop Bouquet is back ~ not done, but back. This picture was taken out on my deck in natural light and without a flash. Never know which presents a better photo so take both when I can.
This picture was taken inside with a flash.
So you are wondering which picture is really what it looks like with your eye? All I can tell you is that the backing is on Dorr Natural Primitive Linen and not burlap. So the real colors are probably somewhere between the two.
As mentioned before, this has been a fantastic project for using up all those wool strips left over from various projects. Domestic Zoo would be another great Magdalena design to use up even more wool strips and wish I hadn't been so anal when I hooked it. That was my very first Magdalena rug and wonder how differently it would have looked if I used left overs. In case you're wondering...... nope, not gonna hook it for a second time.
Hope you enjoyed your extra day off on this Labor Day.
