From a Journal Junkie

From the Handiwork Journal . . .
. . .knitted 3 more dishcloths.


 . . . crocheted my very first recycled denim jeans rag rug.  I like these.  I will continue to collect old jeans from the family, and make more of these (only bigger than the pattern called for, see S.C.R.A.P. for details).




From the Homesteading Journal . . . 


. . . Hubby, and extended family, picked up a truck load of fire wood for us Saturday.  We were on the last day's worth.  However, the truck broke down after they loaded it with wood.  Sunday, we got the truck back, and wood re-stocked.

. . . made another batch of ginger ale syrup, and another batch of homemade shampoo.
 


From the Gratitude Journal . . .

Today I am thankful for:

~sunshine
~pillows
~my husband's job
~my camera
~God's Love
   


From my personal journal . . .

. . . according to medical experts, it could be another week before I feel better.

Kim thank you for your prayers.

Grace, crocheting denim was a bit more difficult, but makes a nice thick rug.

Pat,
We had trouble with a tire making an awful noise. Hubby packed the wheel bearing (I think that's what he said) and so far so good. We need it to haul straw next week too. Phew!
