from the handiwork journal. . .

. . . crocheted a few dozen or so more of these granny squares.   I've put it on the "back burner" so many times that I am pushing myself to get this blanket off the "unfinished" list.  I need 192 total granny squares.




. . . made one batch of handmade hand lotion.  I would call this "handiwork" today.

Then after you get the 192 granny squares finished . . . you get to put them all together! :o} I once made my mom an afghan of knitted strips, a bit intricate with cables, yarn overs, etc. I didn't think I'd ever get the seven strips done, but they were nothing compared to sewing the strips together!!

Mama Pea, I hope to get some done this weekend. They said it would warm up, but the wind continues to be a wicked cold temp out there. Hubby says we are keeping the blanket for our own future grandkids, ha ha!

I keep looking at unfinished projects, pick them up do a bit then put it down again, one day I am sure my unfinished project box will be empty :-)

I have to look up your hand lotion recipe. I'm going through tons of it this winter!

Kristina, you have a knack for choosing the prettiest colors to put together. The colors on the Granny Squares are lovely.
Today I washed all the various animal blankets. I have two sets, one is always in the wash while the other is in use. I wash a set every other day. Today was the day, but so worth it, to see them snuggled into their nice clean blankets.
We have two cats with the sniffles. Going out to get them a humidifier tomorrow, then wait for 10 days to see if it clears up. If not, then we'll get them to a vet cause if it lasts longer than 10 days, it's more than just a cold.
Prayers everyone has a safe happy week.
God bless.

P.S. - I got the "handiwork" pun. LOL

RB, thanks. I hope your cats are okay. We once took a barn cat to the vet with bad congestion. She was pregnant at the time, and she got treated, had her babies and recovered.

Thanks Katrina. If they're not better in a couple days, off to the vet they'll go, but the one really hates being put in the carrier, screaming and hissing the whole way - so I drag my feet doing it. LOL
God bless.

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 . . .
