Crochet rug

Joann fabrics had doorbusters and this jumbo yarn on sale 3 for $20.  They're @1,000 yds each. Before you poo-poo this yarn, hear me out. It's perfect for something I needed - a small washable rug for winter. My feet have been cold on the bare floor when I sit at my table. Pulling from…

Christmas Bynx Hat

Love this pattern and the poms I found on etsy. I don't have anyone in mind for these just yet, but that's never a problem for long! I also have a few January birthdays to consider.

Rectangle granny blankets

Made for the charity Project Linus, granny patterns are great for destashing acrylic yarn, which is what the charity prefers.

Gnome knitting

Just a fun garland on a lazy Sunday. There are no patterns for the bitty clothing, but the undies were a kit from Susan B Anderson - Get it here.

IOD Transfer

Today was about a small update to the fireplace screen. It's just a shed and the fireplace is fake, but it's my happy space. Sanded the old one lightly, since it's mdf. Went with 2 coats of this paint, since it covers anything. This transfer is Midnight Garden by IOD. You line it up, rub…

New furnishings

Project Linus

Too hot for Irish coffee

This has been a very hot summer, record heat, so it's a good thing my main interests are mostly indoor ones. We have our morning gardening though and it's good to see so many bees out there. Today, we  harvested cucumbers, tomatoes, chives to create some sort of side dish for grilled burgers. Reaching for…

Fairies gather…

I received a broken fairy. I didn't expect her to be great, but as a Grammie, I really wanted her for my granddaughter's visit this summer. That's a pretty nasty break. A bit of e6000 should hold. At first I was looking to make a return, but the seller offered a refund for all but…

Roses for spring

Restful weekends, catching up with home and the homies living in it. The week is busy, Sundays are for my least strenuous tasks. Today I changed sheets, made waffles, and freshened the hummingbird feeders (daily when it's warm). The middle of the day has been in the she shed, enjoying a cool breeze on a…
