TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

I worry about the outside kitties. It has been below freezing most of the day. My daughter sent me a great idea to help them survive.

This is a nighttime photo with a flashlight but I am impressed with my attempt to help the babies. This cost me about $5.00 per box. I think it is pretty indestructible and safe.

Materials:

Cheap Styrofoam cooler  WalMart has them for less than $3.00.

Dust Tape I purchased a small roll for around $2.50

Pet Bedding I used about half of a bag for these 2 beds and so the cost was about $1.50

The most important thing is the holes of the boxes face the south. During the day, The sun is very bright in this part of the yard. 

I may never attract the 2 little kitties that hang around my yard, but they have this as an option. I named one of them Lucy. I am working on a name for the tuxie. I think they are both girls. Either way, I feel like a good person for helping keep the babies from freezing.

Many blessing to you and yours!! 

New idea from Pinterest Pin

Ok so I have been working my fingers off making curly scarves for sale. It is how I make my Christmas money. I am posting this picture because I pinned an idea from Pinterest and put it to work. The yarn for curly scarves gets twisted like no other. This way, it rolls off easily and doesn't get twisted. Quickly is what I call my winding method. My man sits on the ottoman and I separate the yarn while he winds it on the toilet paper rolls. It makes my scarf making faster and easier. Give it a try for any yarn. This may never mak it back to the bathroom!!!! Enjoy!!

Many Blessings to you & yours!!!

WEEK 18

This has to be my favorite cloth. I am so proud of me and my new found perfections with knitting. I know how to correct my mistakes, how to correctly make the stitches the way I knit and I learn every time I knit. If you have not yet joined this Dishcloth challenge, join in now. You can catch up. It is a small, portable craft you can learn something new and finish anywhere. 

I am working on a way to knit in the pool and then life will be perfect!!!

This is so much prettier in person but I love it!! The stitch pattern is easy to follow and it works up quick. It would make a pretty scarf. You can find the free pattern HERE.

I am on the colonoscopy diet again. UGH. I am not sure if I will lose weight, but I will surely lose water weight!!! I know it is better to have a procedure than to die of cancer, but it sucks to go through all of this.

I am ready to hit the pool. Relaxing in the water really does make me feel more human. It is 103 degrees here and I need a dip. If I could knit in the pool, I would never leave!!!

Many blessing in your life and keep on believing!!!

WEEK 17 & OTHER STUFF

Whoa Nellie it has been a weird few days. Getting over my sickness was tougher than I thought it would be. The antibiotic I received was usually prescribed for anthrax and the plague. I bet anything in me was killed. However, the day after my meds and for 2 days, I sorta felt worse. WTH? Today, I am trying to stay up and alert. 
Now to the dishcloth challenge. I am devoted. I am trying to work on things that I can finish and feel like I am changing my ways. I have a lot of WIPs. Sad state of affairs.
Here is my attempt of Week 17:

This is tiny and just right for a cute young lady for a face scrubber or bath scrubbie with a pretty handmade soap. That may be something I need to learn...soap making. If only I could make money at my passion. You can find the pattern HERE: Give it a try. So easy & you will include it in many gifts you may be making!!!

Many Blessings your way!!!
