On the Hook

 

The latest granny square for my "book" blanket.  I try to match the colors the best I can, and with what yarn I already have.  I just have at join it to the blanket.  The book is being passed on to one of the kids, so another book out the door and off the shelf.

That's an interesting idea. I've seen temperature scarves and here's another record keeping idea in yarn. Nice!

Why is it feast or famine with library holds?! I had to finish one by today but I can’t even start Ina Garten’s “Be Ready When the Luck Happens” because it’s due today. Ugh. Back to the bottom of the waiting list.

I have good news too: my new Wolf dual fuel stove gets delivered late this afternoon! I haven’t had a working oven since early December! I miss baking and roasted veggies. Both my guy and I want meatloaf too. That will be tomorrow’s dinner. I use the Natasha’s Kitchen recipe made free form.
Leigh, if you go back a few posts, I have more books I finished with more granny squares. It is a new fun way to use up scrap yarn too.
Katie C, that is great you are getting the stove. I can't imagine not being able to roast vegetables. I at least hope you had other ways to cook. That is good news.

Yes, on the library holds and such. It is nice to borrow free, but sometimes it is a race against the clock.
Was the book good? This is a fun project!

I love how this square turned out! What a fun project! My latest project has been doing some spring cleaning which isn't as fun haha. We are having our carpets cleaned today so that will be a treat. Can't wait to see what you make next!
Far Side of Fifty, I enjoyed the book. It is his life experiences in relation to reference to the Bible. Like a devotional sort of. Pretty good stories in it.
Thanks Jackie, I am crocheting a granny square for each book I finish reading, then making a join as you go blanket with them.
What a fun idea! I've been thinking of making a memory blanket with the scraps from socks that I knit.
The book blanket is a clever idea!
Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage, thanks. I am so motivated to read books that I own, and more that were gifted and borrowed. It's been a lot of fun to be honest.
Anne in the kitchen, thank you. Even my husband is excited about this blanket being made. He's probably more happy that I'm giving all of my books that I read to the kids ha ha ha!

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
