I'm blue for Blue Beijing!

68 1/2" x 31" A perfect runner for our hall.

So this is my Oriental effort. Such a pretty pattern and would be so lovely in our home. Now that I dug it out I'm feeling warm and fuzzy again. There's a lot left to do but I could make an effort to pick away at it. Maybe the hooking fairy will drop by or maybe I should be hooking instead of writing when insomnia steals my night.

I have bags of wool for this piece stuffed away in some corner, I should have a look around. I hadn't totally worked out the colour placement for the border but they will be the blues, green, red and gold of the tiny stripped border. I see there is a bit of one of the shous to do and some of the blue here and there. Yes, this would be lovely and I would have a grand sense of accomplishment to have this puppy finish and off the bucket list.

If only I could clone myself. I would get to do all the exciting stuff and I'd give my double all the crap jobs and then when I need a couple of kidneys or a heart, well so long, it's been a slice!

Chinese shous represent luck in love, prosperity and good health. I actually took a bit of artistic licence to do a bit of custom stylizing to get the effect I wanted and to balance out the center design.

This closeup shows off a bit of the border. Lots of straight lines in the design that I've taken from blue willow plates. I've added in buildings and a few pagodas with a rock bridge in every corner.

Now that you have brought this runner out, I hope you finish it - the colors and design are so pleasing. Maybe if you had it out in plain site you could spend 10 - 15 minutes a day on it (nudge, nudge)

I would need kick butt trainer to keep me on track! But that was a good idea, to leave it out so it speaks to me...out of sight out of mind!

Maybe we should get back to our orientals. If you hook yours, I'll hook mine.

Hey Mary, I thought you'd finished yours...that only Shelley and I were left to finish!

Drop by the shop. There is a dye book with your name on it. We used two of your formulas so that entitles you to a freebie!

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Great Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Great Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Great Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO GREAT ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected] OR [email protected]

Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
