I am no longer taking pain pills, yay rah! Went to the Doctor on Tuesday and was hoping to hear I didn't need crutches anymore but knowing full well that might not happen. It didn't. On those for two more weeks, uck.
But it's getting better. I am making progress.
Dottie is still at camp. They have a doggie door and a huge backyard to run in and other English Cockers to hang with. A couple has expressed interest in adopting her and will be going to meet her on Saturday. Sad for me, but progress for her.
I have more time to hook.
I whipped the edges of my crow rug finishing it.
Have finished the cat and all the kitty paws on my current project.
Now I am in a quandary as to what color to do the background.
Any suggestions?
As you can see, there has been some progress in my life, but, wow I sure don't feel like it. Feels like my wheels are stuck in mud!
I'm sorry you're feeling so cooped up!
ReplyDeleteI think black as a background would really make those colors pop, but a tan could be interesting, too!
Good luck to Dottie!
Karen,
ReplyDeleteI hope you heal quickly!!!
Great rugs. Maybe dirty white behind the kitty and different shades of black behind the cats paws.
Happy Easter to you and dad.
Pug hugs :)

I'm like you and can't sit still either. Makes for a horrible patient! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are up and about really soon.
I would go with an antique black background as well. It looks great so far. I love all the colors in the paws.
That's good news about Dottie! But, sad for you.
Happy Easter to you and your family,
Courtney
Karen, I know how you feel about having to use crutches. It happened to me when a heavy wet ceramic mold full of wet clay weighing about 75 pounds fell and crushed my foot. I had a walking cast put on but still needed crutches. The worse was the itch under the cast.
ReplyDeleteYour rugs look all very nice. I would use an antique black for the background or a mixture of black.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dottie's new home.
Happy Easter to you and yours. Julia
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI know you will be up and running in no time! I'd say you have made a LOT of progress! I LOVE both of your rugs!! Are you going to keep these or sell them? Boy, I'd have a really hard time parting with them!
The antique black mixture of textures would really make that kitty and paws pop!
I have mixed feeling about you parting with Dottie too! But I know she needs a forever home so I must get over that!
Have a Blessed Easter!
Hugs!

Well, on a positive note, your hooking projects are so pretty. I'm sure it's a pain to be cooped up but you probably needed a rest.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.
Glad your on the mend. Your rug is gorgeous and I vote for a black background. I think it will make your wonderful colors pop.
