Random Acts of Kindness Crochet Idea ~ Other Ramblings

 





I have so many works in progress in regards to crochet/knit.  In the process of cleaning up my mess on the kitchen table, I decided to finished up what I started and these extra paper clips were made into random acts of kindness giveaways.  In addition to these I have made mini hearts and mini dog bones as well.  It's an item that just never sells, so I'll dig out my heart ones I already have made.

My Mom was big on random acts of kindness.  I'm sure she is seeing what I'm doing and smiling.  If you think of anything cute and small to crochet for these please comment below.  I'm using the Jumbo size paper clips.

Recipes and patterns were sorted, but I found that I'm missing one page for a crochet pattern.  Go figure, ha ha!

We are down to one large log to cut and split for winter, the exercise equipment is all put back together, and we are still making plans for alternate heat in one part of the house.

Happy November 1st!

 

My new Christmas light may be the only Christmas decor going up this year.  I do love it.  It doesn't play music, but it looks like it's snowing inside, and the barn is so cute.  I told my husband the ceramic tree my Grandmother made is buried behind two book shelves, so if he wants it up, we better get the floor done before December.

I made great progress yesterday with kitchen clean up, but all of the work out equipment upstairs is still in pieces, and difficult for me to get around it to put things away.  I sure hope our handy man is coming back to put it back together.

Every single canned jar was labeled and properly put where it belongs.  Recipe books went back to their shelf, and counter tops sanitized.

My fitbit racked up over 12,000 steps when I put laundry on the line last week (and pulled hot peppers).   Now we enter the time of year we get to rest and recoup to gain that energy we all need come spring.  I do not lack crochet/knit projects, that are not finished, so I am looking forward to that.

It would be so nice to spend Christmas in a cabin somewhere.  Maybe some day.  I am just hoping the living room repairs are completed before at least Christmas.  

Happy Fall Y'all!
