I've finished my first stair riser and I'm pleased as punch. It's as nautical as it gets with the compass rose front and center, the port and starboard red and green stripes on the edges, the deep blue border to represent the ocean and the rope cascading down each side.
It is sitting in place waiting for some Velcro. I think that will be the simplest and easy way to hang them in place. I'll need to make a trip to the fabric store but in the meantime on to number two. I'll wait until I have a few of them to install to see which order they will be hung, hoping they flow well.
Tonight, at the Wednesday evening hook-in I'll start the mermaid. I can hardly wait to pull the first loop. Even though I've been busy at the shop, I've thought of little else all day and can't wait to see the results from using our new Glaze sparkle. I hope her tail turns out as fabulous as it is in my head. I hope I can bring it home! I look forward to shading her body in skin tones, giving her life. And her wild and crazy curly hair, oh my.
Starting a new rug is like falling in love for the first time or perhaps the second or third or more; really any time you fall in love is wonderful. So much Adrenalin and endorphin's floating around I'm a bit high but then I don't have to explain this to any rug hookers out there, you get where I'm coming from. Pure joy baby! Hadn't had this much tingle since we bought our boat!
