Wednesday - 04/18/2018

Great week so far but very busy!!!  I got a new porch roof today!  YAY!!!!!  It took them from 8:30 - 2:30 and it is guaranteed for 15 years against any leaks plus they tuck pointed the chimney.   It is supposed to rain Sunday so that will be the test!  Meanwhile I can reclaim my bowls and containers that have been used to catch leaks for the past 2 years!  Here's a photo  but you can't really see it except the white lip peeking over the edge and the fresh tuck pointing.........
    I dyed yarn on Sunday and bundled it back up into mini-skeins on Monday as I didn't have time to wind them into balls...mini-skeins are fast.........here's some of my yarns drying.........
and here's the one where I took non pareils in all different colors and some powdered Kool-aid and then you wrap it in saran wrap and microwave at 30 second intervals until there is steam......

 Here's my little mini-skeins from my dyeing experiments..............
Most of Monday I was doing my taxes and I got them e-filed.  Today was the roofers, I watered plants, did laundry, picked up the sticks in the yard to mow probably tomorrow if the mower starts and I made bread.......
and there's a 'blender' pie in the oven for dessert.......
On my 'breaks' I knitted on my Land of Sweets cowl using 2 of my hand dyed yarns!  Take a look......the first one is from Maker's Haven.  The leftover yarn from my Star Tree Topper but the other 2 are mine..............
I'm off to have supper and 'hit the hay' I've been up since about 2:30 this morning...I love it because then I get a lot done...lol!  but I'm a dishrag about now!
Happy Trails!!!

  1. Good gollee, girl! You make me tired reading all this. Those yarn colors are terrific. I love the pastel, lighter, brighter, ice cream sherbet colors. So pretty! And so creative! You are an inspiration. I bet a slice of that bread toasted would make the absolute best breakfast.

  2. You have been a very busy, busy lady. Isn’t it fun to use your own yarn to knit with? I love dying with Kool-Aid but have only done it a couple of times. I’m glad you finally have your roof fixed and I hope the test on Sunday proves successful. Have a lovely evening my friend and get some rest.
    Blessings, Betsy

  3. Oooh the yarn is yummy looking. I bet you really enjoyed dying all those mini skeins. I can smell the bread.......looks light and yummy. I have never heard of a blender pie. Do you have a recipe? It looks delicious. Your cowl is gonna be so pretty. How special to have your own hand dyed yarns for it.

  5. You sound very productive, and still got yarn time in. I hope to be able to knit or crochet again, without mistakes. I am hoping and praying we get some rest time soon. Enjoy the rest of your week.

  6. Oh Sam, I hope the new roof solves your leaking ceilings. I hope to hear a good report after the weekend rains. I love all your colorful yarns. And that you get speckled yarn using candy sprinkles. What fun!
