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
It is slow to load so give it a minute.




here's some Hygge tips to help you stay upbeat in bad weather......

this should take the chill away..........if you're chilled that is.........I think I might add some sugar too?
and a little something to make you smile.........
Happy Trails!!!

  1. I can see why your hand cramps after a row of the blanket. Seems a very tight crochet stitch. It will be super warm for the baby though. The bib is a great idea. My babies went through several bibs a day. Especially when teething. I really like your sock yarn. Self stripping makes knitting so much more fun and no ends to weave in. Those gnomes are adorable and I am putting them in my to do pattern box. I think they would make cute ornaments. Love the humor.

    2. I think I'll make her 3 bibs and then add a little teething toy. One bib just doesn't seem like enough because they do go through quite a few just in one day. Yes, those gnomes are darn cute and there were some other cute patterns in there too.

  2. lol over that last little thing. And those little gnomes are cute - and new to me! As always I'm so impressed with all you get done, Sam. And I'll jut give you a hug right now as you may need it when you start sorting through Jim's clothes. {{hug}} That packet meal from Pioneer Woman looks (and sounds tasty), but yes... it seems like it would be easier to just make it in a small baking dish. Really curious now about this bacon sausage of which you write. I may have to check that hour. And lastly... I'm so glad you were safe in the storms. But so sorry to hear that some lost their lives. I hope it dries out for you soon, and you have a good week ahead, friend.

  3. I need a small charity project too. I am thinking of doing the Peyton Heart Project. I will see if I can find the link. I know they are on facebook. I also belong to Bevs Country Cottage Neighborhood on facebook. some gal there collects granny squares and yo yos for afghans and some do hats for preemies and all kinds of stuff. http://www.thepeytonheartproject.org/ I like the idea of making the hearts and putting them here and there for people to find.
    Your projects are all coming along!
    Good for you finishing a room. I worked up in the storage area today...boy do I have a lot of crap up there. HA!

    1. Peyton Heart Project sounds great! I also joined Bev's Cottage Neighborhood and am waiting to be accepted. I did start making mittens for children in ND on the Pine Ridge reservation but I would like to rotate so I don't get tired of any one project. My friend Tammy over in Kuwait leaves hearts everywhere but no tags....it was just her idea years ago. I think it's a wonderful idea. Thank you! Good luck with the 'crap' I have a bunch down here too! LOL!

  4. Oh, the sock!! How lovely it is going to be! And, to think you get to make another one to match! :~) I am quite impressed with your beautiful crochet work! Did you once say you learned this craft after you retired? Could there be hope for me? :~/

    1. Actually I knew how to crochet from years ago but I did teach myself to knit since I retired. I actually needed things to do with my hands as I had quit smoking and it worked. Cigs or not I am not a good 'sitter' and need something to do when I sit. There is definitely hope for you and crocheting is easier to learn than knitting. You Tube has lots of tutorials on just about anything you want to learn! You go girl!

  6. I think you're right that the Pioneer Woman dish would be easier in the microwave. One of my favorite foods is bacon so I'll be looking for that sausage and see if we have it out here. You are coming right along on all of your projects. I'm impressed. Your sock is going gangbusters! That blanket though, I think my hands would hurt too. It will be very warm for the new baby.
    I'm glad you were safe in the storms. We have lots of snow here and more tonight. It's supposed to get really cold this week too. I hope the weather person is wrong.
    You could always make mittens and send them up this way! Ha! Kids always need mittens around here.
    Have a lovely Monday Sam.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    1. I did find a charity that makes mittens but it is for the Pine Ridge Reservation in ND so I started a pair with their pattern and they have a tutorial which I will need! LOL! I meant a casserole dish in the oven not the microwave but you could try it....I only use the microwave for reheating. I hope you are staying warm and cozy and that you have plenty of yarn!

  7. I’m glad you were safe during the storms, the weather around the world right now seems to be going crazy with the Australian fires and Edmonton, Canada having some of the coldest temperatures on earth this week and extreme wind chill. I enjoy those pattern sock yarns, that looks like a nice Regia one perhaps? There are quite a few options in the UK for charity knitting, from hats, mittens and scarves for the homeless, there’s a charity that do teddy bears for kids in care, the octopals for premature babies, but also local hospices and charities looking after the elderly are quite often looking for things. I hope you manage to find ‘the right’ charity for you...something that will bring you pleasure in the making and make a difference to the receiver, I’m sure whatever you make will be wonderful.

    1. Thank you so much for your concern and yes, the climate is going crazy everywhere. There are lots of charities to contribute to and I found one that makes mittens for children and adults on the Pine Ridge Reservation in North Dakota, US...near the Canadian border so very cold there! I might do several....we'll see. Thank you so much for your encouragement!

  8. Same here. I have a project for all 3 like you. I think my charity will be close to home this next winter. I'll have to work on it all of this winter though.

  9. Oh my I didn't know the storm was causing that much destruction. I am so happy you are ok, but so sad for those that are not. Mother nature certainly takes her toll. I love the hygge tips. I leave our window lights up until the end of January. We always did because my daughter's birthday is the middle of January and she loves the lights. We do it still even though she is so very far away. Today it is still snowing - I think there is about 8 inches now.....very pretty and I am glad I don't have to be anywhere but here on my couch with my knitting and reading my friends' blogs. Stay safe.

    1. Oh how cozy you must be! I leave my lights up past my birthday too. I did take the outside ones down but the inside are still up. I really do need to start taking stuff down or it will be Spring before I know it! LOL!

  12. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
