Finishing Up ~ Surprise Mail


Found this unfinished project buried.  I pulled it out to work on a bit (hand towels).   I work on these in the evenings.


Today, I am just now putting 4 jars of relish in the canning pot, made 4 jars of hot pepper jelly earlier, put two loads of laundry on the line, watered all the gardens (lacking rain here again), weeded, harvested, and now have to get the clothes off the line.  I was hoping to finish earlier, but did not.  Here are more projects I am working on when I have the time.

Finished another pot holder set.

I'm still working on this Christmas crocheted lap blanket.


I started working on my handmade Christmas ornaments.  You'll soon see what these are for.


I'm continuing to knit washcloths for my Aunt, using a country blue cotton yarn.


Speaking of my Aunt, she sent me a surprise box of books.  I was so excited to have it delivered on a day where I needed a "pick me up."

  2. Well, aren't you a busy little beaver!
    I think getting a surprise package in the mail is the coolest. But you have accomplished so much...I think THAT WOULD BE A PICKMEUP! ...he he he.
    If I could get all that accomplished. I'd probably smile more. The Honey recently told me I should try smiling every once in a while. OUCH!
    Maybe I could borrow "The Stress Factor" when you're done reading it. :) just kidding, really. See? I'm smiling! =D
