....from the handiwork journal



. . . still working on the scrap crochet blanket.  I had plans to donate it, but Hubby and one daughter are fighting over who will get it.  We'll see.  This is my project to unwind on cooler evenings here. Right now it's 55 inches wide by 42 inches long.




. . . made this fall flower vase (the flower with button was inspired by my 16 year-old) with scrap materials. The button came from a blog giveaway from Kim at Fiber and Flea blogspot.  I posted the simple instructions over on my S.C.R.A.P. blogspot.

Your crocheted scrap blanket reminds me so much of a traditional scrap quilt. Sometimes putting random colors together works out in the best way possible. Love it!

The afgan is gorgeous. I have always loved scrap afgans. They're so original, colorful and individual because there will usually only be like it. I've made several through the years for siblings babies and grandbabies, with hopes it will warm them when young, will warm their young when they're old enough to be parents and then will finally warm their legs when they grow old too - I hope.
God bless.

RB, I too am growing a love for the "scrap" blankets and rugs. They end up very pretty.

What a gorgeous blanket! I can see why they're fighting over it! You're doing a beautiful job too.

Sam I am, thanks. I've been able to add a few more rows since I poste this too.

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 . . .
