Pioneer Woman at Heart

. . .  lavender bags finally made.  It's been on the "after craft show" to-do list.  I used scrap fabric for the bags, and the smallest scraps of yarn to tie the bags with.  My dresser drawers now smell lovely. . . . finished this granny square scarf for upcoming craft show (if they still hold it, weather may be an issue).

. . . making progress on the scrap crochet blanket.  I have not repeated a color yet.  

With all the kiddos home yesterday, and the outside temperatures chilly, I used up four apples that where getting too soft to enjoy.  

I wanted to send Daughter some good coffee, and finally found a way to do it.  The first thing that came to mind was a "Coffee Tea Bag" but they are really Coffee bags.  After I made these.  .  . 

I'm so rested up, that you get two blog posts today.  However, that doesn't mean I will leave my cozy jammies just yet.  I am thankful that we have leftover Kale and Bean soup to warm up with today too.  Hot tea has done wonders too.  So, grab a cup of hot coffee or tea, and sit a spell.  This one is longer than the last. I'll spare you the photos of the pile of plastic page covers I have now restocked into the school supplies.  While up from my very long nap yesterday (which felt great by the way), I pulled many of my binders and started cleaning them out. I would have passed those patterns and craft instructions on to someone, but my kids voted they were "old" and needed to go.  

. . . sta rted my crocheted shawl, and love this pattern I received from another farmgirl.  It looks like the one from Little House on the Prairie.  I had trouble deciding on color, so I may make a second one in a red.  I will p ost a photo when it is completed.

As prom is ed to Hubby, I am finishing up projects that are taking up s pace in our bedroom.  When we moved here, I was for ced to put all my craft to tes in t he garage, as there are no extra rooms for a craft room.  Unfortu nately, they piled up in bed room and bedro o m closet. I had a small piece of fleece with turtles on it - one my youngest daughter's favorite animals, and her favorite color of green.  I decided to sew a pillow.   C ha-Ching - one project done. I sta rted this baby blan ket back in Novemb er of 201 1. Yikes!  I got sick, and decided to abandon it, and make a n easier pattern for the new baby.  I am now finishing it , and putting it up for sale (or I may gift it to a mother expecting her first baby this summer). Ching - an other ( unfinished) project getting worked on ! This one doesn't get the full "Cha-Chin g " until it's com plete.  But it's a good start compared to the pile of unfinished projects. ...

I finished my hot pads.  These were fun to make.  I have been wanting to practice some cross stitch embroidery, and this was my chance.  I also used up some scrap material.  Hubby will be glad the "pile" is shrinking. I'll post the other pattern tomorrow.  I had to take another daughter to the doctor, who also ran a fever most of the day and night.  This crazy weather (80° one day and 50° the next) is most likely causing our bad allergy issues and the spread of viruses from their public school.   No baby goat(s) yet...my daughter said "any day now."
