My new Christmas bed quilt. I have never done this for the holidays, so when my husband sees it, he's going to shake his head, ha ha! Not a great day for drying outside, but better than hiking up the electric bill. It's not handmade sadly. Quilting is not something I have yet to teach myself.
Things have just gone a bit wonky this week. One day I put my shirt on backwards, one daughter went to work and forgot her purse, every time we try to make plans to cut wood Mother Nature stops us, one daughter's package is delayed in the mail, ....can't wait until next week. I think we are all a bit stressed with the virus, lockdown, car repair expenses, election etc. going on this year.
We had another entire day of rain. Like boat loads. I need to wash several rugs, but the weather is just crazy for October. I'm thrilled it's filling up the well though.
I emailed the home goods store (sells handmade items). No answer back. I was talking to my husband, and he feels I should just advertise on my blog/social media and hold off shows for next year. I plan on going in to talk to them to ask about their booth rental rate though. Just to know if it's even an option.
If you didn't see it (or follow it), MRH blog has a post for how to make your own homemade pectin. I just wish they'd have a print friendly form of the article, but anyway for those looking for more self-sufficient ways to do things. I've never tried it, but I may if pectin is in a shortage. The last pectin (liquid) I bought, I brought home to find out that it expired last month. A grocery store that is notorious for not fronting the shelves and selling expired foods this year. Check your dates before buying anymore.
