Creative Mojo

I have some creative mojo back. I've been crocheting a bit more lately with some mini squares and a baby blanket for my cousin's new baby on the way.

The weather for late October has been so nice I got to do some crocheting outdoors.

I never tried cross stitch before but when I saw this pattern by @Helenphillipsdesigns after the Queen passed I had to try it. Found this rainbow sticker of the Queen on Etsy.

I did learn not to cut the Aida too close to size as i had to alt some stitches to fit the material.

Then Helen Phillips came out with this next pattern and had to do this one as well.

Added a knitted pumpkin to my fall decor collection.

Late August spent some time outside with my girl.

The cats do love some outdoor time. Mostly on the porch or in the stroller.

August was mostly hot and dry but did get a nice rainbow.

The garden is done for the year. We still have a few things out that are cold tolerant.

We got a lot of beans and try that green been casserole reciped with the cream soups and

french fried onions on top for the first time.

Pickled some of our peppers but we froze quite a bit of them to to add to dishes.

I got out for probably one of the last bike rides this weekend with our warmer weather

for late October. Great time of year here as the colors on trees are superb.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Hope everyone is doing well. After my last post I made another speckled knit hat except this time I followed the pattern more accurately and it came out the size I originally intended and adorned it with a fur pom pom. The second is more a large adult sized hat the original being more teen sized.

And yet another random WIP knitting, simple knitting with stash I've had for a while.

My only Valentine's crochet attempt this year from Repeat Crafter Me's pattern.

Another stash busting project of squares.

Added a few more of these motifs to this project. Feels good to get back into crochet

after a long bout of tendinitis. This is using up the yarn left over from Attic 24's Dahlia blanket I made in 2020.

After many starting attempts I'm finally into sock knitting currently working on the heal flap.

Work has been extra stressful lately as we got cyber attacked. Still working from home with a bout back in the office for a week to get updated computer followed by a much needed week stay-cation.

I did get to more crafting including these little bunny cups, also from Repeat Crafter Me's pattern.

Made an Easter Mug Rug from The Seasoned Homemaker's pattern. She used random pastel strips on the outer portions but I had this already Easter themed fabric to use.

This staycation also fell during my birthday weekend and hubby and I went out to the county to some garden centers which is always relaxing.

Kitties are doing well, my girl had a few more teeth out during my time off. She's had teeth out before as she is getting older but is recovering well.

And my boys are doing well also.

Spring is always exciting, new growth and life. Hubby's has started seeds, some inside under the grow lights and some cold weather crops in reused juice bottles outside.

We even got a random visitor in the back, wild turkey.

Take care all!

Days Are A Blur

It's been a while since I've blogged. The days just go by so fast for working from home and going nowhere but the grocery store. Late 2020 I've mostly painted in my spare time. I made all my Christmas cards this year. Here are a few. Some I mounted to red cardstock.
