This is my final post for this rug until the first week in May! I’m visiting my children and grandchildren…and, hopefully, I’ll be there when my first great-grandchild will be born!
I did finish another leaf in the golden brown background today!!! : )
Below is the New Life Challenge little rug I spoke about in an earlier post!!! I designed this rug for my youngest daughter who is expecting her first grandchild any minute now!!! : )
Thank you for following my progress on the Bradley Primitive rug!!!
I’ll be back posting on its progress the first week in May!
Happy Spring! : )

I felt a bit better today so was able to work on the smoky blue background and the golden brown background surrounding two leaves!

Hopefully, I’ll feel better tomorrow and I can hook something more interesting!!! LOL

I just did a little more on the golden brown background and the black mix outside border. Unfortunately, I picked up the flu from my Dear Husband (!!) so I haven’t felt very good for the last two days. Hopefully, I’ll feel better soon!!! It is nice to just hook and not have to think!!! : ) So I’m glad I have these easy parts to do. When I’m sick, I love boring!!!!! LOL
I took the opportunity today to steam down the rug parts that I’ve already hooked. I like to do the steaming as I go along as it makes it easier to work on the rug and to photograph it!! : )

I’m doing more on the golden brown background and the outside border. At least you can see that the rug is getting a bit more “hooked” from day to day…but it isn’t as interesting as doing new motif or a new border!!! : )
Nothing “exciting” but I don’t want to leave the borders and backgrounds for last!!!! Better to get some of them out of the way!!! : ) I do love this rug!

Hooray!!! I think I’ve got it!!!!! : ) Gosh, my children didn’t take this much labour! Hours and hours of fiddling and waiting…but now it works…I think!! LOL Here is yesterday’s progress and I’ll post today’s later in the day!!!
I do hope I’ve got everything fixed!!! For a person who knows nothing about computers…I can usually get things working after experimentation!!! LOL We’ll see how long it lasts!!! : ) Probably the computer will explode next!

Please bear with me as I try to work this new system on WordPress!
You can visit my Bradley Rug Progress at my other Blog- Vermont Rug Hooker’s Diary
http://sunnie-vermontrughookersdiary.blogspot.com
Everything was so simple and worked so well before here at WordPress…I loved it!!!
But now, I have spent many hours since the change trying to get my Blog to work! My photos don’t upload (I get a “failed to upload” message). My pages won’t load the photos I already have as the blog times out before I can get them loaded…even with multiple refreshing of the page. I have a dial-up connection (my only choice!!) which is slow anyway and this just makes everything much worse!
I’ll put my Bradley photos on my Vermont Rug Hooker’s Diary Blog so will you please click the link in my blogroll here and go there to follow the progress, please. I’ll keep trying to get this to work!!!! : (

Looks like WordPress just changed the posting screens so I have to figure out how to get my photos uploaded now!!!! Not too interesting just doing the outside border…but every little bit helps! LOL

I lightened this picture up so you could see the mix of wools in the dark border. Two of the plaids I’ve used in the rug center have a bit of brown in them along with black, blue etc. Here in the border I’ve also added some of the brown-black plaid I was trying out in an earlier post… and I have some odds and ends of dark wools I can use in the border too! There is some solid dull black in there too as well as some other “blackish” wools!!! I like a mix!! : ) It all “reads” black from a distance!
Here we go!! Happy Friday!
