There is an advantage of a few days of resting and bed time.
. . . in preparation for the next craft show, I thought it would be good to get a few sets of heart cup/mug coasters crocheted.
. . . finished these round dishcloths for the upcoming sale, and to restock supplies for future shows.
. . . finished one set of pink pot holders. These will go in my tote to take to the craft show as well.
. . . finished a few more (burgundy, black) slouchy hats (not that I want cold weather to linger).
. . . finished two sets of coffee cup coasters. I made these years ago for my own table, but used brown yarn. The girls had a fit telling me "coffee is black Mom!" Well duh! Brown is "hot chocolate" according to them. Either way they are super cute. I will have to find more "wine" cotton yarn to make a few more sets, as this color is pretty nice. I'm not sure if they make it anymore, but who knows. I might find another color well liked for these.
. . .finished a few "heart" doilies using yarn stash. I didn't have white for these. I made them using #3 cotton yarn. Pink and Bridal White.
. . . finished mix and match flower cup/mug coasters. These are fun to sell individually or as sets. There is a story behind these. I'll be sharing soon. Nothing exciting but a story no less.
It's a cold brisk day here today. Plans are to cut and split wood. We need it. Although we are both still slightly congested, it needs done.
I will be in the kitchen today too. I was just informed that I am hosting a breakfast here at the homestead Sunday morning. I'm always the last to know (sort of frustrating when the house is a mess due to being sick). I need to get some biscuits pre-made and some homemade sausage mixed up. I need to check my supplies and egg count too. Eggs have been slightly low in production lately.
Speaking of eggs, I need two for tonight's dinner - soup beans and buttermilk cornbread.

Like you, i’ve been sick with something. I staggered to the mailbox a couple of times but that’s it. Today is day four. I feel much better so I walked the dog (two miles) and i’m just now starting to get the feeling back in my toes. I infuse my homegrown thyme in honey for sore throats. I give it for gifts, too. As you know, it’s so good and soothing. I am not a good patient and it looks like you aren’t either. (Doing too much, not enough rest.) I hope you take it easy while you’re still healing.
