WIP Wednesday 30 November 2016 - And Some Bits


It is the last day of November, already! Do you all get the impression that time just goes too fast for me? This post is fairly picture heavy.

I did get in some craft time and Retirement went from here


to here.


I'm very pleased her tools are not hovering in midair any more. Hopefully this week the basket will get a bottom.

The rug went from here


to here sorta. When I put the rug on the freezer (the only thing big enough to spread it out on) for the picture, Snowy immediately hopped off the cat tower and laid down on all the softness.


After several attempts to move him (he can jump back up faster than I can take a picture), I simply waited him out.


The last snowman is done! I have 3 and about 2/3 rows of the blue background and 5 rows of the red and white border to be finished.

I also received an envelope from Rosey who blogs as Ishkabibble with the patterns I had won in a giveaway. This is what I was lucky enough to receive.


My very first Prairie Schooler patterns! Anyone giving odds on the chances they will be stitched by next Christmas??

And you must be careful what you say to friends. My craft partner Cynthia posted on her FB page a notice for a one evening pottery painting workshop. I casually mentioned it looked like an interesting way to spend an evening and the next thing I knew, I was signed up. We had a choice of painting a yarn bowl or a mug and I chose a yarn bowl. Now, please understand, I can't draw on a flat piece of paper, never mind something 3 dimensional, so I just played with colour. It really was a fun evening and this is what I ended up with after the instructor took all the pieces to be glazed and fired.




Definitely not great art but it will be really useful.

And it's another Wednesday and time to review what's been done.

Again, the rug got most of my attention, going from here


 to here


with a softness check when I took the picture. I think it passed as Yoda took a lengthy nap before I was able to put it away.


Retirement went from here


to here.

Well, I'm pushing on with the rug, It's gone from here


to here.


And while Retirement has gotten less attention, I haven't completely ignored her - had to move the hoop. She's gone from here


to here.


She now has 2 legs to stand on and a couple more bees buzzing around.

So, all in all a good week!

And here we go with another Wednesday report. My rug got most of the attention this week and went from here


to here.


I'm a couple of rows passed halfway.

Retirement didn't get completely neglected. She went from here


to here.


It's nice to see her boot attached to her leg - and know she does have a second leg!

Welcome to November! Somebody flipped a switch yesterday and we went from unseasonably warm temperatures and sun to cold wind, black skies and cold rain. Fall in Prince Rupert is back to normal, darn it.

Had a pretty good craft week. Retirement Means went from here


to here.


The rug didn't get quite as much time, but still went from here


to here.


How about you, has it been a good week?
