Plowed Out ~ . . .from the handiwork journal

We have been plowed out, pipes thawed, and now freezing rain is rolling in.  I have definitely given myself "me" time during this after storm time.





....started a set of red hot pads and XL hot pad





....finished these bookmarks





....started a rug with scraps of cotton yarn and that cone of yarn I bought that is not all cotton.




....finished this set of cup coasters


....my new crochet hook arrived, so I'm about to start a new project.

My routine is back with a mountain of dishes to wash.  The weather is more than crazy.  We just plowed and now it's strange to see so much rain.  School is delayed.   The driveway is a sheet of ice right now.  How is your weather?

Though looking out over my PC and through
the Paddington Bear curtains..the sun is out
in ALL it's glory, and quite warm..though it's
bad up in the midlands and further North..! :(.

We got snow and now it's raining but no power outages so we're good! I love all your crocheted items. I wish you'd share your patterns or where you get them. You always have such cute items and you are really good crocheter!

Here in Minnesota we have 20 degree temps, falling tonight into the single digits with winds predicted up to 45 mph, giving us wind chill of -25. Mother nature is definitely off her meds. :)
Willie, I agree to just look outside. I can typically tell, but this weather is absolutely nuts.
Sam I Am, I will gather the books the patterns are in. The pot holders are my own pattern. Thank you.
Vicki, that is a lot of wind.

Got 4-5" of fluffy, new snow yesterday. Temps are up into the teens which feels absolutely warm! High winds forecast for tonight which aren't good. Winter time, winter time. What will we all get next? But no rain to make more ice, so that's good. Hope yours turns warm enough that there's no more ice build up.

We are bracing for the rain, starting this evening as icy sleety stuff and developing into a full blown rain storm. Good god. Do you have Yak-traks? Best investment I ever made. I can't get across the chicken yard without them. I love the red on that first project - it's so... red!

The bookmarks are fabulous Kristina. Oh the weather, well it's still well below zero here, snowing. But at least the arctic freeze is over, the dogs are pooping again lol! :)

I think maybe the weather is nuts everywhere lately! We've just had two days with temps in the low teens...today it was 62 degrees. Now we have more rain coming in, with maybe a rumble of thunder followed by another cold front. It's up and down. I love all the pretty things you've made. How do you make a rug? Is it crocheted?
You made lots of progress with your needlework, not bad to have a couple of days to rest and enjoy
needlecraft while is freezing cold outside.
The weather is definitely unpredictable, from temperatures in the upper teens and low 20's...
to 60 and rainy tonight :-/.

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 . . .
