Random Tidbits

I should have paid more attention to the weather.  It's much warmer, but 90% chance of rain, and it's raining.  No wood cutting today.  Ugh.


My sets didn't sell at the craft show.  Not one, so this one went into my youngest daughter's hope chest.
I found these reindeer antlers in the Christmas totes.  Romeo didn't like them, but let us put them on for a short while. 
I finished the granny square scarf with matching slouchy hat for our 20 year-old daughter.
The stray cats are trusting me a bit more lately.  I found both looking inside the door at me this morning.  They will run off if I open the door though.  Just ignore those doggie nose marks on the glass, ha ha!

 I went out to the "Big City" for a few errands and one was to find paint brushes for water painting books.  Believe or not, I found the books at the dollar store, but no brushes. I found those at Wal-Mart.

Thank you Sheryl, there seems to be less people buying homemade items this year than years before.

Kristina, I've been following your blog and enjoy learning about your homesteading lifestyle, so different from mine. My mom used to crochet all the time and I love the usefulness of many of her beautiful creations. I know that you've had trouble finding some of the yarns you've needed, especially at a reasonable price. I was looking on a daily deal site this evening and ended up exploring it much more than I ever had. I found that they have almost 50 different yarns, various name brands, some with a choice of colors. One example is a 3 pk of Red Heart Tweed Twist Neon Acrylic Medium #4 Yarn Skeins for $7.00. The site is dealgenius.com. The yarn is in the category of party & events. You can also search for yarn. Even if you don't need any yarn now, you might make note of the site for the future. Shipping is free with a $29 purchase.

Thank you Peg. So glad to hear you enjoy my blog. Thanks for the link too. Yes, yarn is expensive and sometimes hard to find the right colors. Thank you so much.

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 . . .
