....from the handiwork journal and other random tidbits.

One good thing happened due to our camping dilemma on Friday - I finished the baby blanket.  (We had planned to deliver it today, but......)



While Hubby and his nephew went to fetch the stranded camper, I retreated to the front porch to crochet and relieve my headache.

I also got 1 boot cuff finished, and another started.

Then I sulked again, as the air cooled off and I was imagining myself sitting around a campfire....

I got over it.  

Saturday Hubby
and I got on the Harley and did a few errands, and found a fall festival (very large flea market) to hang out at.  I found one item and will post a photo of it later.  We literally were on the bike until about 6:30pm.  We had a fantastic day.

Until 9:30pm.

Hubby is in the hospital, we had an unexpected emergency visit last night.  Then they moved him to another hospital up north for more serious testing.  I'm heading up to visit, and play some cards with him to make the time go faster.  He won't be getting out today.  Prayers would be appreciated.  I'm trying to hold it together.  I had a good cry last night about 2am, and finally fell asleep.  We are all praying it's just a simple fix.  I want to drill the doctors too.  I want more answers than they are giving him.

We've been trying to clean out our garage gym, so Hubby could do a 5am work out with me, as he knew he needed to lose some weight, but otherwise you know he eats pretty darn good.  And his sugar tested pretty much perfect at the hospital, which surprised the doctors.   

Not being able to sleep got my toilet cleaned last night.   I wonder what I'll get cleaned tonight?

Prayers said with more to come. I can't help but think that the reason the camping trip had to be missed was a fortunate misfortune. Whenever a plan goes awry I always believe it is for a reason. Hope all is well.

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

New Recipe Tried and other Bits

  I tried a new granola recipe and boy it's good.  First, it's a recipe from Mennonite Girls and Cook, and called "Backpack Snacks" online.  It calls for granola, so I used my homemade granola that we love.  Picture is the dry ingredients. Second, I pressed the final mixture into a 9 x 9, parchment lined baking dish instead of rolling it into balls.  The color of these photos are all different, because of the time of day, and how dark the house was from the thick Canadian smoke that was still outside at the time. These cut very nicely, and were very good, straight from the refrigerator.  It was hard to eat just one of them.  I will be making this again, and switching out the peanuts with walnuts, and switching out the raisins with dates.  Oh my!  The binder is honey and peanut butter. These are perfect for your hiking days, camping, your grandkids, or just for snacks when you want one. The rain arrived thank goodness, and washed the smoke in...
