Seeing stars




It has been one of those days (week) when you feel like you have been repeatedly bonked on the head. Over and over and over..... I have worked 3 of the past 4 nights and that does not make Kimmie a happy camper!

But tonight I managed to get home in time to hook for at least an hour. Maybe 2 hours if no one has some dramatic fake crisis here. (sarcasm.....bad week)

I found a piece of plaid wool that I am testing on the stars and swirls.


I cut it to have the light orangish strips and the darker greenish strips. Orangish for stars and greenish for swirls. I want to keep with the earthy tones for this pillow.


Tomorrow's Friday.......just breathe.

  1. Maybe it has just been one of those kind of weeks. Your rug looks fantastic. I like the colors you have chosen. I have wool cut for my rugs that I drew out on Saturday and I have yet to pull a loop.
    You will make it I am so glad it is Friday tomorrow.

  6. Some days you get bonked over the head and some days you just want to bang your head on the desk. Hoping your weekend will be much better than the rest of your week.

  7. Poor Kim, it's no wonder you're seeing stars and swirls on your rug with having such a bad day at work but I think that it's working with your rug. the colors are PERFECT. It looks awesome. I love working with plaid.

    I laughed at Julie's comment. She may think that you're feeling apeish... hehe.
    Have a fun weekend and be good to yourself.
