Pioneer Woman at Heart

The day I delivered my 84 year-old Dad some home cooked meals, I gave myself a reason to visit two stores while in town.  Pssst!  You're gonna need a cup of something to sip and read through this today, ha ha! I went straight in, bought what I needed, and headed for the front of the store.  I was in the last store before returning home. I raced down the aisle, hoping the speed would burn more calories, but came to a halt.  The clearance shelves.  Yikes! There in front of me was a beautiful kitchen rug.  The kind you put in front of your sink.

I think these placemats will look nice when I finish them all.  It will work until I have a day to antique shop for some long tablecloths (in spring colors).  I made them as large as our largest dinner plates.  The width is good, but I could crochet less rows and still make them fit nicely.

As I sit here with a late start today, two baby goats are romping around the kitchen, trying to jump into my lap, and sucking on my bathrobe.   Nothing like starting your day with hot coffee and baby goat slobber. We had a load of wood to pick up, with more to pick up later.  We have not slowed down too much this spring.
