Right now, there are men on our roof making the biggest ruckus ~ we have to have new shingles after 20 years!! The shingles failed ~ there is a class action suit against the company ~ Sonny says he's too old to get up there anymore so we're PAYING to have installers do what he so ably did way back then! I was hoping they would get in and out of here before the garden started to sprout but alas, that did not happen! I'm hoping they'll take extra special care ~ we shall see!!
Gathered Treasures Show two weeks from last Saturday! Am I close to being ready ~ not so much! Nose to the grindstone this week ~ I sure hope so!! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I'll enjoy mine!! Ta ta!

FANTASTIC job on the background! I always found those were the most difficult part to do. Looking forward to seeing it all finished.
LOVE this !!! Do you just pick from your worms (without looking) or color plan the background?
Hi Jacque! It is kind of difficult ~ not as random as it might look! And hi to Linda! I just can't pick without looking ~ it is somewhat planned so that it doesn't end up looking all one color or value in the same place. Its hard work making it look that way!
Hi Alice,
Such beautiful work! The colors are so warm and muted...but striking at the same time. That's talent!

Aice I agree with you it is time consuming trying to get compatable colors yet having value changes. And yes very worth it when it is all done.

Alice, you are doing a fantastic job on your rug.
You are almost done.
I need a new roof too and I even have moss growing on it. Hopefully it will be replaced this summer. Hugs. JB
I just love your amazing work! Someday I want to be able to do rug hooking...it's a dream! I have this thing for chickens anyway so I really like this piece! You rock!
Alice I'm really loving this rug. I looks very antique to me. Your background technique is working beautifully!
