I did a naughty thing.....

Feeling pretty lazy for once, and not feeling guilty for once....


Yesterday, I literally put jammies and a thick robe on (at 3 o'clock in the afternoon), donned some slippers, turned on the "boob tube" (have no idea where we got that nickname for the TV), and crocheted until I finished this rug.  Last year Zuri got a toy caught on it, and then her teeth, and I ripped out several rows.   It's now finished, in the hallway, and it's "dog safe" for now.  I'm thrilled I took the time to get another unfinished project out of my looming closet.  I ran out of boxes to purge more books anyway.

Dinner was already in the crock pot - sweet potato/black bean chili.  I ate that in bed too, ha ha!  Hubby worked late, so I started crocheting on the scrap blanket too.

It's in the 50's today, but dark, and rainy.  I sure hope the wind dries up the swamp we now have.  The pellet stove is off, the wood stove is off, and I'm in the kitchen today.  I should be cleaning a bathroom, but you know we have to make those big decisions, ha ha!

Well, it's about time! Seriously, there is nothing bad about taking a day (or two) and just relaxing. Besides, you are always working while you're relaxing so it almost doesn't count!

I'm curious if you used worsted weight scrap yarn for your rug . . . or something heavier. If it is made of worsted weight yarn how do you get it to lie flat for you? Getting into pjs and a robe at 3 in the afternoon sound absolutely wonderful! Unless I get a burst of energy, that may happen to me today, too. (It's only at smidge after 2 p.m. so I can't do it yet, can I??)
Susan, you made me laugh. You are right. Unless I'm reading a book, I'm always working on something, ha ha!
Mama Pea, I used cotton. I crochet two together and and "I" hook. I just use up scraps leftover from making knitted dishcloths, and crocheted items made from cotton yarn.

I would love to make those rugs too as I need them. I was going to use acrylic worsted though as that is what I have the most of. I wonder if that would work? I love yours! I usually have my pjs on about 6:30 or 7:00 p.m. and get in bed because I have lots to do in the evening and my only t.v. is in my bedroom and my bed is like my couch! LOL! I watch the news then, work on a handwork project and then do my reading and a Sodoku puzzle to keep the neurons firing! LOL! Glad you took time for yourself!
Sam I Am, I highlighted my rug making in the left column of articles on the front of my blog. I simple crochet two strands of cotton yarn (used for dishcloths), and an "I" hook. I crochet across until I have the width I want, and use single crochet. I wash my rugs in cold water and line dry them. So far, they are holding out very nicely.

I did that yesterday. Worked from 10am-2pm and came home so bushed, I changed into pjs, laid down watching tv, and promptly fell asleep. My right shoulder (torn rotator cuff) has been bothering me quite a bit lately, so when I do sleep, I often wake with every movement shift because of the pain, so I felt like I was catching up, and it felt good.
I did get up long enough to care for the cats and chickens. Their food and water bowls need changed and filled, so I did do that, but all in all, my afternoon asleep went well. Life went on and the world didn't end after all. ;o)
I pray everyone's having a great week, and a safe one too.
God bless.

RB, I like your words "life went on and the world didn't end after all." I love that.

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 . . .
