Sewing Wonderful






I finished my hot pads.  These were fun to make.  I have been wanting to practice some cross stitch embroidery, and this was my chance.  I also used up some scrap material.  Hubby will be glad the "pile" is shrinking.

I'll post the other pattern tomorrow.  I had to take another daughter to the doctor, who also ran a fever most of the day and night.  This crazy weather (80° one day and 50° the next) is most likely causing our bad allergy issues and the spread of viruses from their public school.  

No baby goat(s) yet...my daughter said "any day now."

That is really cute. I grew up with Chichen scratch tablecothes. But this hot plate is really ideal.

Oh, I have done chicken scratch before, YEARS ago; but this would be SO CUTE in my kitchen! I'll have to see if I can dig out some red gingham from my stash!.. Hope you're enjoying your day! ~tina
Cute little hot pad and great work on the cross-stitching...hadn't done any myself in years.
I've recently acquired all my mother in-loves embroidery stash...there are tons of prepackaged sets and thread, ...I should organize it all and get ready to settle into stitching once the 100° temps get here.

Hope everyone is soon well at your place. Y'all have sure had your share of illness since I've met you; Y'all need a 'health'break!

How did I miss these? LOL! They are darling...what do you use in the middle for heat resistance? anything special?
Oh, also,,,,I use castile soap that I grate but I'm curious too what the other gal uses. This last time I used Yardley English lavendar from Wal-Mart. It was less than a dollar a bar and it already had the scent but looked pretty pure otherwise.
I used 2 pieces of insulbright in the center (I found it at Jo-Ann Fabrics, sold by the yard).

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
