Sugar Coated

 

We didn't get the big snowstorm they were predicting last week but we did get a dusting yesterday. 

The Mister, Pup and I went up to Daughter's for an overnight babysitting adventure and when we came home we were surprised there was any snow at all. This time The Mister got to wrangle the toddler while I did baby duty. Toddler duty is pretty easy seeing that he likes to do pretty much the same thing The Mister likes to do. 

We were both worn out yesterday but I did sort out Spiral Chicken. I was feeling pretty good about a not too distant finish until I realized that I had to do all that space outside the wavy frame too.

The designers vision has some interesting stuff happening on the outside so it might be fun to work on but it is going to take more time than I had anticipated. 

While I had Ms Chicken off of the frame I gave the needle punch a try on it. A lot of punchers use this type of frame instead of a hoop and I can see why. Much safer for the fingers. I just may have to go looking for a bigger frame for the rugs and keep this little one for other things. It's something to think about. 

Edited to add that I did indeed buy a bigger frame as soon as I finished this post. Details to follow.
