Making my own stitch markers....

Too flimsy


Rings are too hard to use, and time consuming to use.  The lobster claw ones I have have fallen off before and are hard to get on and off.


 I do not like the ring stich markers, and the clasp ones are hard to get on an off when you need one for every row on a project that is small.





I decided to make my own using charms I already had on hand.  I love my craft supplies, and sometimes they actually come in handy ha ha!

I found these larger earring clasps which I love!  They work so much better than the lobster claw clasp.


The sky is very pretty this morning, but if I was a weather guesser, I would guess a storm is about to come thru later today.

Good idea for stitch markers. I've been just using a safety pin, which is kind of a nuisance, but at least it didn't come undone too easily. This looks easier to deal with.

chipmunk, I was just so frustrated with the other stitch markers, and some craft stores have such cute charms (wait for them to go on sale).

Very clever! I'm always on the lookout for a good idea too.

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 . . .
