Random Tidbits

 

A recent sunrise before the heat wave rolled in the area.





A good way to use up leftover corn - sheet pan quesadillas. Crispy deliciousness, and we dipped slices into sour cream.  Salsa would be good on them too.

A honeysuckle is growing in my back patio flower bed.  The birds must be the culprit.

. . . from the handiwork journal

 


. . . still working on the cardigan, and one sleeve is done.


. . . xl hot pad set in the making


. . .off the afghan hook - set of hot pads



. . .new project (like I need another, ha ha!) lanyards




. . .I found a bracelet that I didn't finish, so it's on the list again


(Couldn't get a photo because this project is buried in my mess of a closet)

. . .a scrap yarn rug in the making 


. . .a lapghan in the making.



. . .eco-friendly water balloons.  The grandkids will love theses, and so will their Mom with no mess.  Just toss in the washer if they get dirty.  Soak them in a bucket of water and toss.


. . .a thin crochet thread dishcloth on a hook.

I'm sure there are more on the hook, but I most likely won't get them all found until later this fall.  Garden season has taken over most of my time right now.
