Donation Drop Day

 

Not the best photos, but I finally got these two scrap yarn lap afghans dropped off.  They went to an assisted living home.  They were very happy to receive them, as many of the folks living there move around in wheelchairs.

The wind was so wicked that we finished up our day and got back home to hunker in.  Power went out in neighboring towns, but we remained with power.

On a good note, we located flooring for not only the living room, but possibly two other rooms, for a much lower price.  We are taking measurements and praying the flooring is still there when we go back to get it.  I'm more excited to get these jobs done after seeing the flooring.

Oh, the wind gave us more firewood for the wood stove.  Luckily, the tree was out by the tree line and not near the house.

Making my own stitch markers....

Too flimsy

Rings are too hard to use, and time consuming to use.  The lobster claw ones I have have fallen off before and are hard to get on and off.

 I do not like the ring stich markers, and the clasp ones are hard to get on an off when you need one for every row on a project that is small.

I decided to make my own using charms I already had on hand.  I love my craft supplies, and sometimes they actually come in handy ha ha!

I found these larger earring clasps which I love!  They work so much better than the lobster claw clasp.

The sky is very pretty this morning, but if I was a weather guesser, I would guess a storm is about to come thru later today.
