Four small hooked rugs on ironing board after steaming. Dog on floor nearby, maybe sulking for attention.

A night to steam, though Bowyn wants some non-hooking attention. It's time to get busy; I have two shows in November:

Finally, got around to finishing this piece based on one of my daily sketches. Used an Oxford Needle #14 Fine. And clearly forgot that I needed to work "backwards." Lol

Hooked art, dog.

The Adobe Wool Arts Guild , AWAG, finished up a 3-day retreat this afternoon. Many of us worked on the portraits we began in March when Tammy Pavich came to lead a workshop. This is Bowyn's portrait. It'll take us awhile given that I really have to concentrate on him.
