More Firewood ...

October 16, 2015

A cool rainy evening ...

decided to make a turkey pie ... to use up the rest of the Thanksgiving Turkey ...

Perfect dinner to watch the Blue Jays ball game ...

The house was a little chilly ...

so while we were watching the ball game ...

I decided to gather up the materials that were needed ...

to whip up a pair of crochet slippers to warm my feet ...

It's that time of year ... having the cooler nights ... !!!

It was a beautiful day ...

to cut up another load of firewood ...

to fill the woodshed ...

Mike was bucking up the logs ... while I was using the wood splitter ...

and tossing the firewood in the truck ...

Mike ended up helping with the wood splitting and loading ...

once he was finished cutting up the logs ...

together we took the load down to the woodshed ...

and stacked this load ...

After the first truckload was unloaded ...

we went back to get another one ...

I took a wheelbarrow full of smaller pieces down to the house ...

to warm up the basement ...

starting a fire in the wood stove ...

Soon another load of firewood was stacked in the woodshed ...

One more day is needed to fill it up to the top ... !!!

Another good days work out in the sunshine ...

soaking up the warmth ...

 

 

Crochet Friendship Bracelets ...

July 3, 2013

When Craig awoke this morning ...
he noticed that I had my coloured yarn on the dresser ...
and had asked what I was making ...
I told him that my dear friend Dagmar ...
had shared this nifty easy way to create friendship bracelets ...
and before I could finish them ...
I needed to get his wrist size ...
Once that was determined ... I had seven made before we even got out of bed ...
he was so delighted ...

James was the next to wake up ...
he wanted the same ones as Craig ... and Ella did too ... when she saw them ...
They were really interested in learning how to make the bracelets themselves ...
so I gathered up more yarn and crochet hooks ...
and began to give them lessons ...
I was amazed at how quickly they were able to start creating them ...

As you can see ... they continued to craft ... making a necklace too ...
Ella wanted one for her ankle ...
so Grandma whipped one up ... !!!

I also made up a care package of yarn ...

for the kids to take back home with them ...

as well as giving them the crochet hooks ...

I heard that they were still creating the bracelets ...

and sharing them with their friends ... !!!
