From the Handiwork Journal. . .



. . . finished the set of pot holders and oversized hot pad using the afghan hook.




. . . used the leftover yarn from the dishcloth and made a soap saver bag and kitchen scrubbie.  I just happened to have an orange matching scrubbie.



. . . worked on this baby blanket again.  63 done - 33 to go. 



. . . started another baby blanket to use up some more baby yarn I have.  It is destined for the Farmer's Market.  Possibly.  Possibly not.  Just depends.



. . .got a few more soap saver bags done.



. . . crocheted these doilies for Mom for Mother's Day.

I attempted to crochet a bookmark using #30 thread and a #10 steel crochet hook.  I think I need better reading glasses.  If I attempt it again, which I might, I'll post it. 




...progress is being made on this doily.  I need to make 17 more of those little daisies for it.

I honestly think you must not sleep for more than two hours a night, to get everything done and then all this lovely handwork!

Hi Kristina :))
Your needle work is really lovely. I love the colour of the pot holders, and what a great idea with the soap savers!

Rain, thank you. I have had a few orders for those soap saver bags. Some day I hope to be back to making dairy goat soap (again).

Holy cow girl! You have been whipping out the handmades! That would be a years worth for me! I love the afghan stitch and the purple yarn is gorgeous. It looks like it would make a nice sturdy washcloth. The ornage set is darling and I need to make some 'scrubbies'. Love your blankets and doilies....gorgeous!

Thank you Sam I Am, I am trying to squeeze in time when I can't get into the garden or get housework done. Housework never ends around here too, ha ha!

Lovely work. Our Mother was very good at making things like this. Before we were born, she'd crochet what use to be called counterpanes (lacy crocheted covers for over solid covered bedspreads) and sold them to the local department store. They were very beautiful.
We've finally gotten rain. Thank God it's been gentle but plenteous. Farmers have gotten their crops in, and I'd had to see them flooded or washed away.
Prayers everyone's having a great week, and a safe one too.
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 . . .
