Organizing my Yarn AGAIN..

 

My friend gave me a ton of yarn.. I had to reorganize and put it away... I got done with the worsted weight on Sunday.. I am back to I now can see what I have mostly.. lol..

I had to put my variegated, Simply Soft and scrap yarn in front.. along with the cat's chair.. my apartment is rather small... but I can organize it.. 

Sunday Garden Update 3 - Cucumbers and Tomatoes

 Now that my garden is growing like crazy I will just focus on a couple of things per day.. maybe every other day.. today it is my cucumbers and my tomatoes that I originally planted that got frosted. I am happy cos I have my first tomato growing.. and tons of flowers on them. 

First my cucumbers.. I have 3 in one large pot and one by itself.. They are flowering.. so I expect I will have cucumbers by next week.. well.. baby ones.. lol.. 

These guys I really didnt think would survive.. they surprised me and are already producing my first tomato.. 

more in a day or so.. 

Sunday Garden Update 2

 Today is a horribly hot an humid day.. I went out to water my plants and fertilize (do that monthly).. I really thought I would die!! lol.. anyways.. they seem to be doing well.. Pictures below.. 

I got a few eggplants.. one is doing well.. not sure about the other one.. I honestly only need one for me.. lol.. 

My lettuce is growing like crazy.. I cut some last night to eat on Sunday.. I guess I will be eating salad alot!

my peppers are loving this.. I already got flowers and a tiny pepper!

I need to get this built up.. my cucumbers are already looking to grab stuff! If it isnt too hot tonight.. I will do a little.. 

These are the three tomatoes that I thought would die after we got that frost.. well.. as you can see they are growing like crazy and have tons of flowers.. I will have tons of tomatoes this year.. I am actually gonna can some of them maybe one jar at a time (I wont get that many!).. I see homemade sauce in my future!

my zucchini is doing great.. already got flower buds.. my yellow squash.. well.. I started that from seed and it isnt doing as well.. we will see.. 

Handcrocheted available for immediate sale on eBay

These sachets are 3 - 4 inches in width and are crocheted with Simply Soft and edged in white.  I have several different colors made.. 

You can wash them after the scent is gone and change scents too.. as they are cotton filled.  I suggest that you only order one scent if you order more than one.. I cant guarantee a cross scent transfer.

I have scented oils.. Lavender, Wild Poppy, Grapefruit, Peppermint, Christmas Wreath, Lilac, Jasmine, Apples & Cinnamon, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Vanilla, Night Jasmine, and Sparkle & Shine, . You can also get plain cotton to add your own scent.

This would make a nice gift for a friend, coworker, babysitter, mail lady, pet sitter, teacher. I own a cat.. and might have cat hair on them..

You can save up to 23% by ordering more than one.. just ask for an invoice..

Garden Update!

Finally the weather has been cooperating with me.. I got some of my pictures so you can see how things are.. I already have flowers on both tomatoes and peppers.. 

my newest garden pot! These are both tomatoes and cucumbers.. I got to go out and start building up so the cucumbers can climb!

More tomatoes.. these were out first.. got damaged by the cold temps we had.. and now are growing strong.. I already have some flowers on the back row ones.. I also have planted peas as I love pea pods in my salad.. cant wait for them!

Speaking of salad.. I have many different lettuces growing.. and pots of marigolds in the front.

These are my green peppers.. some already have flowers.. cant wait!

Last but least I have zucchini and yellow squash.. the zucchini is growing like crazy!

I have eggplant plants to go out next.. hopefully tomorrow..

Happy Easter!

 

Happy Easter to everyone.. Hope your day is nice.. I have had a busy but nice weekend.. I went out for dinner with my friends on Friday night.. out for lunch and shopping with my daughter.. and for Easter, going to my son's house.. lol.. 

I also bought myself a new desk.. well.. its new to me.. lol.. so I am reorganizing things to clear through things.. will have alot of new stuff up on eBay.. so watch for that.. 

In my crocheting.. I have been bouncing on clearing off a couple of items plus an afghan for an order.  things hopefully will be up soon.. though too late for this holiday.. off to start my day doing stuff.. 

Coffee Cup Cozie

I often put up the ad for Coffee cup cozies.. finished this one last night.. I wont be putting up any for a while as I have too many orders right now to add more.. but I wanted to show you.. not the colors I want.. lol.. but it came cute.. You can also order this on Bonanza.. obviously in your choice of color(s).

Easter Toddler Bib

I also made this for the same order as the Disney bib.. this is a little smaller so it probably will only fit ages 1 to 3.. It is a bit late for me to make more for Easter.. so I wont be putting this up for sale.. I do plan on making a couple for the Fourth of July as well as nonseasonal ones.. Those will come later.. 

Disney Toddler Bib

I made this for an order.. so cute.. I am really happy with the way it came out.. I have one more towel left to make another one.. hoping this will go fast!!

This idea came from a vintage Crochet World.. I didnt follow the pattern exactly as I didnt like the design of the crochet neck/edge.. I want something a bit open.. and loose for more stretch if needed.. If you go to the link.. it will show you the back of it.. 

https://www.bonanza.com/listings/Disney-Toddler-Bib/1737402400

I also made a Easter one using a towel I had for the same order.. that will be in a different blog entry.. 

Michelle's Update - Homemade Soup..

I havent been here in a bit.. too many appointments as well as orders.. I hope to have an update for you soon.. my major thing lately is making homemade soup.. I made Chicken veggie last weekend.. using up tons of veggies both frozen, canned, and fresh.

This was the finished project.. I got several meals frozen.. as well have been eating it for dinner/lunch.. 

My next plan is to try a Lentil Soup.. that recipe I got off the internet..
