Project Check List

 The list is getting shorter.


 



I completed the green baby blanket.  I ran out of yarn at the end, but used some leftover white and pink to edge it.  I did not want to buy another skein to finish the edging.  I'm not really sure if I like the pink on it, but it's there now.




I'm still working away on this baby blanket. I might get it done in time for my oldest daughter. Ha ha!  It's not my first project to go to, considering it's not going to be for sale or gifted.  No hurry on it, but it would be nice to have it done.
 



This is still on the afghan crochet hook, however, I completed two pieces for one pot holder.

Hi Kristina :) I think the pink border looks nice for a baby blanket. It looks nice on the line with the wintry backdrop :)

On my screen, the pink and white looks nice with that color, but I'll admit, on my screen, what you're calling green looks aqua too. Good work. It's always great to finish a project, to look back on it and see how beautiful it is, and will be, hopefully, for years to come.
I pray you'll be feeling healthy again soon.
God bless.

Thanks RB, I was trying to be creative, but maybe an all white edging would have been better too. I am feeling a bit better, and continue to take it easy and drink up hot teas.

I like the pink! I think it really sets off the blanket. Is that Tunisian Crochet when you use an afghan hook? It was and still is on my list to learn. Then you double the fabric of it to make a potholder so it's nice and thick? Great projects....I think I need to make a 'project list' of all mine but it might be scary! LOL!

Sam I Am, yes it is. My Aunt told me, when I was making some for the Farmer's Market, they would sell good. They did, but I'm a bit behind on getting more made.

  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

I've Been MIA and Heat Wave

First day of July.  It's hot.   I'm definitely not entering a stage of boredom any day soon.  Although I've been doing a lot, it's been productive.  We are in the middle of the worst heat wave I can ever remember.  So humid, there is very little to no work being done in the gardens for the last few days.  Heat index has been up to 106 degrees, and nights did not get any cooler than about  77 degrees.  The heat wave will continue for the rest of the week.  No rain yet. I froze water in small bottles to keep the chickens water cold, and froze treats for them. I canned a small batch of reduced sugar peach jam (before the heat  wave).  I have to admit, it's been very nice to can for two people now.   Enjoyed the last of our asparagus harvest.  The last two stalks were harvested June 29th.  The longest asparagus season we've ever had.  They look light colored, but taking them out of the fridge, they quickly...

Organized yet?

  Over the last 20 plus years, my baking utensil drawer and my smaller kitchen drawer were a piled mess, due to the space in the kitchen.  I'm so glad I was limited to indoor work (while my eye regains better sensitivity to light), as I dumped both drawers and purged them.   We allowed kids to move back in, after moving out (something my own Mother would not allow me to do as a young adult), and they brought their belongings with them.  Belongings often included kitchen items, and without my knowledge, they filled the kitchen drawers with extra items. Our local schools are doing a contest for a thrift store.  Each school is collecting donations, and they are weighed for this collection contest.  I have filled two boxes of items to donate, that are extra here, or not used any longer.   I wonder what other stuff I'll discover? 42°F this morning (feels like 40°F).  High of 74°F.
