Happy Homebody Monday #15 Homemaking Binders

Howdy!

HappyHomebuddies!

I suppose most folks have some type of organizational system in place whether it is a list, recipe box, or even a notebook filled with all the goods. I'm sure I'm talking to the choir here.

I think I have all of them. 

The recipe box are contained to just recipes of course, the notebook I keep jotting down recipes I find & try. If they pass muster they get into the recipe box. I have one for crochet patterns and leaflets too.

But what about all the other notes, or things which are not related to food or crochet.? I have found most recently after I cleaned out my seed box, that I could probably use a binder to file away plant information for their care and instructions. 

The beautiful cactus I had last year at this time did not bloom (yet). I pulled the sheet out of the seed box and it would have been nice had I had it prior to that. Hence I am going to make a garden notebook/binder. I'm collecting all the loose instruction sheets, and they will live in a nice, organized manner.

Cactus post

Some Cactus care instructions I posted about off the sheet

I don't know whether I have a Thanksgiving, Easter or Christmas Cactus. They bloom when they bloom and I enjoy them very much, even when I don't follow the "rules". So I am sure this one will bloom when it chooses, and then I'll start what the instructions say.

 

This was how it looked from the greenhouse!

I'm sure more than a few of you have these beauties at your home. 

Do tell!

A little Filet Crochet

 Greeting & Salutations Happy Homebuddies!

Finishing up a cuppa and a wee chit chat about nothing in particular. Routine everyday things which I do, what we all do and are grateful we have that opportunity. There is a joy in the everyday, the safe daily chores, never mundane.

I’ll get to those shortly. I’ve got my hair combed and up but still in my Jim jams. The day feels lazy, a little rain and all about fall. 

I made a good bit of progress on crochet project yesterday but hit a glitch and frogged out a row or two and I think I’m on track.

Filet crochet is made up of blocks and open spaces which “should” make a picture. 

Here is what I’ve got so far.

I am on row 27, there are 79 in total. This will be the 5th filet project. I always say it will be the last. I got this pattern from Etsy. I believe this was in some way AI generated or assisted via technology. I think it was at one time a real project someone made. The original picture differs from the chart. 

Not a fan of AI just saying.

Here is a picture of one of the others I did a year or the Bread doily. I did not make the round doily it was a gift.

Well I'd love sit and chit chat more, laundry next, working on supper.

Until next time we meet

Be of Good Cheer!

A little late but I got them up

A day late and a dollar short, remember that statement from the mist of time?

I did post about the cornhusk doll project; at the time of the posting I had made 3. I did get another 3 finished and then they just sat there all dressed up and nowhere to go.   

I think I might have mentioned that I had a garland I got from Hobby Lobby, it is burlap, and fall colored rag bows, really cute. No where for it to go either. So much for getting all dressed up!

So I put them together like the peanut butter & chocolate, and this is what I got. 

I had intended to glue a very small crochet heart on each doll, which as of this writing is not done, the glue I have at my disposal is not for this type of thing, and my glue gun is in the basement on the shelf. So there are no crochet hearts on the dolls currently, but I did manage to tie them on to garland and it looks very festive. 

We are coming to the end of those decorations within the next 3-4 weeks, and they will be packed away until next fall. 

Be of Good Cheer!

Thank you for stopping over
