Granny Squares Everywhere ~ Reclaiming Home and Garden



It was bound to happen.  I got bit by the "granny square bug."  I made several bottle cap keychains with round granny squares for garden.  These can be made into magnets also.



I made several bottle cap necklaces (and more keychains) as well.



I have been crocheting up several granny squares for winter scarves.  These will be donated to a homeless event next month.  I'll have updates later on what these will look like.



And I just had to try these granny square dishcloths too.  Aren't they so cute?

 The start of another cotton hand towel.


 The start of a cotton dishcloth perhaps?


Weekend is over...reclaiming a clean and organized home begins....oh, and the garden too.


We had a very long week, followed by a long weekend, packed with activities - Homecoming, and a wedding. My younger brother had his wedding at a winery, in the wine cellar.  It was beautiful, and it was fun to see all the family members again.

It will be nice when I have all of my house (and garden) reclaimed, and every errand and need caught up with.  Then I can take a rest and enjoy a fall day on the porch.

I have to go dig out more granny square patterns.....toodle-loo....

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
