On the treadmill of laundry.
It never ends
no matter if young children in the house
or empty nesters!

5 and YARN ALONG

The baby gown will have short sleeves (per request of mother) and of course I need to find some fun buttons. Finishing the small details of projects I seem to struggle with, not sure why. Any words of wisdom?

I just finished reading Dry Bones by Craig Johnson

I can’t say it was one of his better ones, just OK. His Walt Longmire series is excellent, only one dud in about a 12 book series, not bad.

We are expecting a blizzard tonight on the Front Range, the first of the season. I’m looking forward to seeing snow but not driving in it. I may be delayed for work in the morning, seasoned women with white hair should not have to drive in snow. It just is not a good idea!

0430 and it’s snowing, but not enough snow or blow to keep me home this morning…{darn}
Happy Wednesday
and do not forget to acknowledge a VET.
Thank you ERIC for your service.

ME

As many of you know if you have been reading Little House for any length of time-I like to make things, useful things, bread, soups, hand and body creams, deodorant, butter, yes just about anything and everything so I do not have to go to the BIG stores and buy items. I garden, crochet, spin, quilt and knit too. Now, do not assume I make all our needed things and am anti-purchasing of said goods…no, no, no! I like knowing how to do all these useful things. I feel it connects me with previous generations and in a weird way I am stronger and more independent.  And to think I hated the thought of taking any Home Economics courses in high school or college. I refused to take any, knowing I was going to be a career woman. I also said I would never be a secretary or a nurse. I have been a nurse for the last 37 years…ahem! The point being, sometimes we end up loving what was incomprehensible at a younger age. Life is full of strange twist.

This past week I continue working on the baby gown and brown sweater. Knitting more on baby gown (Kumfy) than sweater. Baby items are fun and quick, so I seem to gravitate to those more and more recently.

Reading sewing and dying books, so much information.

Please join me on YARN ALONG and share what you have been doing this past week.
