The Day After Christmas

Didn't get any hooking done today as Grandma was on a mission to purchase fabric and make a soccer themed valance for my grandson. Yesterday it was obvious the childhood valance needed to come down since Zach is now 13.  

Picked up the fabric, came home, ate lunch and proceeded to make his valance.  He didn't want curtains....just the valance.  Dang...forgot to take a picture of it after I hung it.  Anyway, my grandson is elated with his 'day after' gift.  And this was a wonderful Christmas for me.

Thought I'd show you my progress, or lack of, for the present project which is an adaptation of Julia Eastman Stubbs rug.  I've chosen the horse trainer part on the far right side of her design.

Heck, I'm not even halfway done and as much as I want to hook the trainer figure the border around the corner should be hooked first before enjoying the challenging part (dessert).

Happy calm and relaxing day after Christmas to everyone.  And in a few days we will be welcoming in a new year.  I'm excited and confident in the next few years ahead for the growth and protection of our country in every way.  Here's looking forward to a wonderful 2017 for all of us.
