Remember this?

 

Well it is now a ugly looking blanket...back in the day I would have called it fugly ucking :)

Lots of small balls of yarn used up.  This was a project I started and only worked on in the afternoons while we watch Grey's Anatomy.  We are in Season six now and I will need to figure out another project.  

I have a couple of ideas for the next project.  Might be time to revisit one of my previous projects:) 

We had a quiet day, it rained just about an inch according to the neighbors. 

Minnesota weather: High 41F or 5C  Low was 29F or -2C.  Rainy and the grass is turning green.

Sunday

 Quiet day, we worked outside a bit...raked some and worked on another project on the patio.  My other baby brother and she who see robins first stopped by to visit.  Happy Birthday today to she who sees robins first!

Late in the afternoon I sold some "stuff" and we had to go to Osage to meet up with the gal.  The "stuff" was weaving bobbins that came with my spinning wheel a long time ago and have nothing to do with spinning or so I was told by an expert!

I took a photo on the way back.

We had some sunshine in the morning.  

We dropped off some books and bookmarks for the Little Library...it still had some books that I dropped off last Fall.  Maybe the Summer readers are not here yet! 

Minnesota weather:  High 57F or 14C  Low was 42F or 6C.  It is supposed to rain all day on Monday...we will see if that happens. 

What's cooking?  Leftovers warmed in the microwave:)

Dreary Day

 It was a dreary day here in Minnesota. 

Not much happening.  I finished the May Baskets and they are partially filled.  I did some laundry and hemmed a pair of pants that were too long for me.  No machine involved...I can sew by hand faster than dragging the old Sears sewing machine out. 

Far Guy was busy all day...walking, making ice with the ice machine and cooking supper...Impossible Italian Sausage Pie. 

Minnesota weather: Dreary.  High 50F or 10C  Low was 34F or 0C.

Friday

 We rescued Tilly from the repair shop.  The gaskets she needs have been ordered.  She needed to come home and go into the garage just incase it rains.  She will go back to have the repairs and an oil change soon.

Far Guy replaced my lawn mower battery and fixed a flat tire so I could mow. I dug out my lawn mowing stuff...special long sleeved shirt, red rubber boots, hat, safety glasses and special carrier for my phone.  I mowed the wild gardens east of the house...we like to mow it to give the wildflowers a bit of a chance!  The grass is turning green after the rain we had earlier this week.

We made pizza for supper. 

Minnesota weather:  High 55F or 13C  low was 35F or 2C.

Stash

 I made a small baby blanket...perhaps just right for a car seat in the Summertime.  

It is the linen stitch using a 3.5 crochet hook.  The yarn Stylecraft Special DK  and I have no idea what the colors are anymore.   I have a bunch of yarn yet to use up. 

Far Guy and I took Tilly to town for his Infusion and a blood draw for me.  Our Buick has been in the body shop getting a small dent fixed.  Tilly is now in the repair shop for a diagnosis about her transmission fluid leak.  We are glad to have the Buick back...although Ranger Blue is great transportation! 

Minnesota weather: High 77F or 25C  Low was 32F or 0C.   It rained early on Thursday morning.  Thundered enough to wake me up...which is really saying something as I am a sound sleeper!

Whats cooking: Freezer food...Vegetable Soup for me and Jambalaya for Far Guy.  One night we had Moons over my Hammy.
