Just stopped by to dash off a quick post – a “postette” perhaps? – as I’ve got tons to do to get ready for this week’s hooking activities. Tomorrow, being the first Tuesday of the month, will find me at Albuquerque’s Botanic Garden participating in my guild’s monthly demonstration. I’ll be bringing my recently completed bed sheet rug and the new one that I’m working on. Yes, I am rather obsessed and finding these rugs great fun to work on.
Then there’s this week’s 3-day rug camp with Cheryl Bollenbach. Like I mentioned last week, I finally decided that I wanted to do a portrait of my dog Tynan. But not a realistic interpretation looks- and color-wise. I do want to realistically capture his spirit. I managed to draw him onto the monk’s cloth a few days ago. Picked the colors only this morning and still have to sew the twill tape onto the pattern. So much to do before Wednesday!!!
What are your hooking plans and/or goals this week?
to my mind, that is a very accurate representation of Ty 🙂
Let’s hope that I can do him justice.
Planting the tomatoes! Weeding and mulching. Hopefully getting a new warp on the loom. I have some entertaining coming up so I have to do a bit of cleaning and straightening as well.
I’m hoping that maybe in the fall after the Railyard Market is done, I can look into learning how to weave. So much to try, so little time…
And I fogot to ask – did you get snow last weekend??? It looked like you might have on the weatehr map I was eyeing.
Ha! It was cool and rainy, and by that I mean it was in the upper 50s. There was some snow on the mountains just east of town. And they got some snow up north. There’s a reason we chose not to live in Santa Fe despite it being beautiful.
