From the Handiwork Journal . . .


. . . played around with a new "flower" dish scrubbie pattern.  I am making some to sell at the next Farmer's Market.


. . . finished my 11 year-old's tablet cover.  Finally.



. . . started another pot holder set, and dishcloth.  These are my "to go" projects.  When I need to go somewhere, and I am not driving, these go with me.



. . . got around to embellishing the crocheted cat bookmark.


. . . spray painted chalkboard paint on a clip board to make a sign for Farmer's Market.  



. . . crocheted 1 rag rug for the master bath (sheets and pillow cases).


. . . crocheted another bookmark for the store/market.



The weather is hot and humid here.  I collected 70 pints of water in my dehumidifier.  We have been running it in our master bath, to help the the tile project dry completely.  Rain is in the forecast today, but you never know anymore.

Those dish scrubbers are just the cutest ever! Doing dishes in style!! The kitty bookmarks are also quite clever and fun for all ages. Hope you have some profitable farmers market days!

Those scrubbers are sure cute.
I like the dish cloths...I should try making one...I don't knit. I crochet...and make them all the time. But a dish cloth sounds like the perfect project to try some knitting skills. :)
The tablet cover is cute...and so is the kitty applique and rug! (great use of old sheets)

...have a great weekend. Pat

You've been busy! It all looks great. I especially like the flower scrubbie.
I had a good look around our saturday market this morning and nobody sells this type of thing. You could make a killing over here.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
