YOP Week #28

Well, I survived the storms here in the south although quite a few didn't I'm sorry to say.  I think 8 people died and many houses were destroyed but not near me.  I think Mother Nature is pretty mad at us and can you really blame her?  We've abused her and the natural resources she has so selflessly bestowed on us.  We will all pay the piper eventually.

I made my first recipe out of Pioneer Woman's new cookbook and yes, it was delicious!  I don't know how she does it but they are always so good!  This was a 'parcel' breakfast where you make a sauce, cut up peppers and potatoes and throw in some chopped kale ( I had to use spinach as I had no kale) and then you unwrap the 'parcel' after cooking and throw an egg on top and stick it back in the oven for about 10 minutes.  Excellent!  I only made one of 4 parcels but it is ready to go in the frig.  I'm thinking I will use a little casserole dish instead of the foil as the foil is sort of difficult to deal with trying to get it out onto a plate. 

BTW, I don't know if you remember me talking about some sausage links that have bacon in them too?  I had them once and then couldn't find them.  Well, I found them...in the freezer section at the grocery store!  Who knew?  They are made by Farmland and they are so tasty and the best of both worlds!
Now, on to YOP..........I did make a few new goals for reorganizing my projects....I want to always be making a gift, something for charity, and something for me.  That being said I have not chosen a charity project yet.  In the past, I did premmie hats but I'm going to look on Ravelry and see if there's any other charities that are out there that might need some help.  Blankets probably would not be good for me, the slug! LOL!  Meanwhile, I actually have 2 gifts going....one is the blanket for the coming baby (not mine!) which is looking great but makes my hand cramp after 1 row and I will never get it done in time at that rate so......Farside started crocheting a baby bib and I have followed suit!  Here's the blanket....and I love it.....

Here's the bib............I just happened to have this cute yarn in my stash............

When I said gifts I really meant Christmas gifts and I forgot about the bib being a gift so I started a cowl for a Christmas gift.............this is a great and easy pattern by Love4Nails on You Tube..............I've made it before and it is a fun crochet plus I love mine to wear!

For me is the sock #1 I am working on........I'm about 4 rounds short of finishing the leg..........by next week I hope to be done with the leg and the next section

I worked on all my cross stitch 'days' except for Stars and Stripes Saturday..........here's Santa Sunday from last Sunday

Monthly Monday.......

Witchy Wednesday..............

and Fall Friday...........

I finished binding my towel and I washed and dried it............it looks much nicer.  Now I have many more to do! LOL!  But I should be an expert 'binder' after that!

By next week I hope to be done with the bib, onto the next section of the sock and finished with that section and a few more goals for my YOP projects. For the Cleaning Extravaganza this coming week I will be working on my closet where I stuffed a lot of Jim's clothes that need to be washed and gotten ready for the Salvation Army.  I did finish the bathroom last week and I am very pleased with all that I was able to clean and get rid of too.

Here are your 'tidbits' for today..........there are quite a few patterns besides this one.  Here's the link

this should take the chill away..........if you're chilled that is.........I think I might add some sugar too?

Happy Trails!!!
