AJ...lovely idea for your daughters. I am sure they will enjoy that! Something handmade from mom's heart to theirs!
This morning I posted a Step-by-Step Tutorial on my Blog Site, on how to make a Heart Shaped YoYo. They are so much fun and so addicting to make.

I am making comfort shawls that I am hoping to send to anyone who might be in need of a hug. I have one done and I am working on another one. They are really soft and comforting.

Peggy- it's a free pattern off Lion Brand Yarn. Really simple though. Chain 44 and then do half-double in the back loop only till the piece measures 10 1/2 inches.
I saw that Simplicity patterns were on sale for .99 at Hobby Lobby. Had to get some for some bloomers and found a couple of patterns for bags.
Started sewing together my small beginner quilt piece.

Socks, lots of socks - they are addicting and you can buy it in small quantities (yarn is cheap). Also got back to working on a white summer sweater that I bought the yarn for in June. Too many projects started, not enough time - can't wait for winter!

Love comfort shawls....could use some comfort right now . I am not doing anything at the moment, just no oomph. Did finish the dishcloth though so that is done. Not sure what I am going to do.....first see if I can muster up the courage to get off the couch and atually start something.

I am cross stitching a sock monkey on a pillow case right now for my grandson. Even though I do not know if he will ever get it since his mother ran away to Montana with him. I fiqured I would finish it any ways and mail it to him. I pray she will give it to him. Ho-Hum....

My first attempt at homemade hamburger buns. They are still in the oven, they smell good, but the feel a little heavy. I don't mind goofy up baked bread stuff, what we don't eat the goats will.

Peggy... when you make your prayer shawls are you knitting or crocheting or ????? I love shawls but I think one dedicated to prayer would be a nice thing.
I'm actually not doing much of anything right now. Busy with the livestock, children and garden but hopefully in the winter I'll have the time. REALLY interested in spinning and weaving. I'm going to join a local guild and see if I can learn how before I spend that kind of money. But I did make homemade tortillas for supper tonight! Does that count??
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

Kimberly...I knit mine but they can be crocheted too. There are books for making prayer shawls. Can google the words Prayer Shawl and it will tell you all about them.
Yes, making homemade tortillas definately counts! :+)

Has it really been 3 weeks since anyone posted? I guess we're all busy harvesting and getting ready for back to school. I've been sewing--skirts for myself (another in progress) plus a new style Kindle sleeve I'm experimenting with (Peggy, do you like this style? I haven't forgotten you!). The laptop case was for my daughter who just went off to the University of NH and the notebook cover says "create".

Has been awhile since anyone's posted here Dianne. Love all your sewing projects. Makes me want to go out and buy a Kindle just for one of your pockets! Here's what I've been working on these hot days when I am unable to go outdoors:

I made 2 aprons this morning, when I couldn't sleep at 5am. Have been doing deconstruction in the bathroom since.

Sharon, LOVE your paper crafting. You are so multi-talented! A real Renaissance woman (I am reading How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci). Sidavis, Your Lizzie purses are beautiful. Is that vintage bark cloth you are using on some? Grammytammy, Pictures, pictures, pictures! We want to see your aprons. Peggy, Which rose fabric are you referring to? I want to be sure I use the right one. Dianne in the Hudson Valley

I just had a little lesson from a friend up the road on how to make a granny square! I need to go practice now.
I love to see all the pictures of all your projects. It inspires me to make some things now.
