RUG PROGRESS ~ ~ ~

Here is my progress photo of the yet-to-be-named rug from the Tipp City class.  I'll have to think of something catchy to connect it with that experience!  The photo really points out to me something that needs fixed ~ do you see it??!!  I'll work on that at my next sit-down with this rug!  One thing I see that I do is use longer strips of wool than Karen recommended.  She says 4 or 5 loops and since I always use the loooongest strips I can get from the wool, if I use a third of the strip that feels shorter ~ it is shorter.  But I can see these long lines of color ~ not that I'm going to change it in this piece but  it doesn't blend as well ~ to my eye anyway!  How about "Tipp City Bittersweet"?  Is that a good name?  I don't know!

It's been a quiet week here for me and I've loved it!  For once in my life, I'm not in a rush to do this, that and the other thing.  It feels very good ~ this is probably how normal people live!!!!  One thing I took time to do was go to the book store and pick up a copy of Haute Handbags ~ lots of wonderfully creative purses that are made by various artists.  Two of those artists are Dulcy Stewart and Mary Stanley ~ both of whom have blogs that I love to read! You can click on their names and see what they are all about!  Would love to have those girls in my neighborhood ~ they're very inspiring!

So that's it for today ~ a short post ~ didn't know I could do one, did you?  We haven't decided if this is a lake weekend or not ~ lots to do here and if we go up there, there's nothing to do!!!!  This should be a 'no brainer'!!!  Have a good weekend, one and all!  It's going to be a pretty one here in Ohio!  Ta ta for now ~ Alice
