Playing Chicken

 

The Mister went to play golf yesterday and in my down time I decided to explore the things I can do that don't require too much back action. Spiral Chicken on my new lap frame worked very well. I've decided to make peace with the gray that made me so unhappy last year and just finish the darn thing. It's supposed to be a primitive art form from a time when Etsy did not exist. Rug makers made do with what they had on hand and so should I. Weird little pops of color are to be expected, even encouraged. At least that's what I'm telling myself. 



The Mister's golf outing was uneventful minus his new friends.



The golf course usually uses goats to keep the weeds down but this year they've got a nice mixture of sheep and goats. I hope they all know how to duck. 



Speaking of sheep, look what's coming up next week. I've got to get myself back in walking shape asap because the one thing you can count on there is that there is never a place to sit down.

  1. Nixe to see Spiral Chicken again - I really like that piece. I had completely forgotten about Maryland Sheep & Wool!

  2. I think Spiral Chicken looks great and those sheep and goats are kind of unexpected on a golf course. I didn't remember that MDSW was coming up so soon, so get ready to walk!

  4. I've heard of goats and sheep being used for course maintenance --- nice to have photographic evidence.

  5. MSWF!!!! Oh how I wish I could go with you. It always looks like so much fun. Spiral Chicken is coming along well and will be finished soon.
    Love the lawn mowers. I wouldn't get much golfing done. I would be trying to pet the workers. :-)
    Blessings,

  6. Well that is one progressive golf course. The chicken is quite fun. I love the idea of using what I have - sometimes I do better than others though.
