With life being so full of finishing up the school year and getting the garden in. My stitching was put aside and when I had some time I was just too tired to stitch. This last Saturday I said that was is it. I
needed some art therapy and sewed up my pincushion and picked out fabrics for future sewing projects. I found the instructions at my friend
Debbie's@no spring chicken blog. So here it is....
On Sunday I started knitting in circles again, my socks. I just love
these socks. Socks are a great way to knit in the summer and not have anything lay on your lap and get you too hot.
Oh Mary, socks have not been easy for me...all the needles just get a bit tangled! :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thank you for this morning. My friend just left, she brought me dishes - yay!! and the boys' evaluation letters :-)
I felt so blessed...your phone call and a visit
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI always get excited to met another Canadian blogger too. Thanks for visiting my blog today. Let me know if you try the cantaloupe jam. Hope it works for you. I will be checking out your blog when I have a few minutes!

What a cute pin cushion!
ReplyDeleteI think a friend of mine may have recently contacted you about homeschooling. I told her your name and she said "I think I already talked to her!" Small world!
Have a great day!
This is what I love most about blogging! I thought it was just going to be fun journaling on the computer. What I wasn't prepared for was a network of new friends!
ReplyDeleteYour pincushion looks great! Easy huh? I wish I could say the same for those socks of yours. I love to knit but that many needles in my hands feels like an octopus!
Have a wonderful afternoon...
Blessings, Debbie
The pincushion is adorable! I have never knit socks...but would really like to. I may have to give them a try! Right now, I am making my second batch of your yogurt! We really liked it! I am making 4x the amt you do though...cause we go thru a bit more than your household, I guess! Thanks for the recipe - it is great! Now I will have to look up your sock pattern and see about making up socks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary!
Have a grand day!
I like the pincushion! I just finished a craft project I've had in my head for over a year...I needed to get my physical space organized, and that finally freed up my artistic/creative side! Oh, it felt so good! I'll be posting it in a day or two...
ReplyDeleteHope we can chat tomorrow!
Love and {{{HUGS}}},

I love the pincushion idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Mary - That pincushion looks like a perfect project for my ten year old; I'll have to visit Debbie and get the instructions! And I have to agree with you about knitting small projects in the summer, but then, I like small projects any time. :) Thanks for sharing, ~Lisa
ReplyDeleteI so need to get all my knitting patterns neatly in a notebook like you have, you have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you for making time for your creative side. I still looking for a spot for my sewing machine. *blush* I hear it calling to me! :-)
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
Looks like you are keeping busy. Nice pin cushion. :)
