Really and truly.
I decided some of the stars were too wonky...even for me.
Soooo, after I finished hooking it, I started reverse hooking a "few" stars.
I thought if I fixed one or two, I'd be happy. (You should be laughing right about now.)
Yet every time I redid one (which is no easy task because it requires reverse hooking the background surrounding the star and "refitting" it around the "new" star), I was dissatisfied with the adjacent star....
So, around in a circle I went...until I realized that this little endeavor had no end.
(And I honestly didn't know where I had started anymore or whether I was redoing stars I had already redone.)
Fortunately, I had a brief moment of lucidness and stopped the madness.
It still needs to be bound, but it will have to wait until I get the binding material.
(Note to self: You dislike hooking stars as much as you dislike hooking symmetrical scroll designs....and please don't ever hook in a circle in the middle of design. And, NO, DON'T redo that too.)
I am not sure what's next. I'm still frogging the dang eagle, but when that's done, decisions will need to be made. (Is it just me, or do I sense a theme here??)

There is not much else (good) news here to share, and looking at my camera roll, I see I have taken few photos...so no inspiration there either.
The weather has been fickle. We had almost a week of freezing temps at night and even snow on Thursday, but there have been a few pleasant days as well.

I won't fumble around any longer searching for something to say, but did want to check in and wish everyone a memorable Memorial Day weekend...full of reflection and a heart filled with gratitude for all who have served and sacrificed and their families who bear/bore much of the pain as well.
Perhaps that's where I will go tomorrow.

One last thing:
If you find it in your heart, I would appreciate prayers for my beloved Snowdog.
