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

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!

Living in the slow lane today

 Howdy!

Miss Minnie Pearl the "Original Farmhouse Gal"

Oh! can I just tell you that this Fall has been glorious? It was one of those slow every changing into the most beautiful array of color burst. I am here for it!

It is breezy today, and almost as suddenly as Halloween came, and the time change, clue the leaf falling.

Nature's vacuum will take them everywhere and they are beautiful and become mulch, who knew?

Today I tucked away the last remaining items from the garden, watered the mums we've no measurable amount of rainfall, soon they will be overwintering in the garage...oh I just remembered I forgot to water and move the purple aster. Next on the list.

Yesterday I went through my beautiful vintage seed box and organized it. I had a box of 12 4oz jars and put the seeds in there. I can actually see what I'm doing in there now. I also went through a hugh ziplock back of zinnia seeds which were all parts of the flower and pulled some seeds and put them in a jar.

A load of laundry is in, running the sweeper. I'll sit down with a nice cup of coffee and move the hook; I've got 2 thread projects going at the same time. 

I seem to be operating on less sleep these days, I was up until 3am and then slept until 7:30 am. I seem to have more energy how is that a real thing? 

A little vintage and some "vintage like"

The tablecloth, and the turkey salt & pepper shakers are vintage.

Vintage table linen posting

The measuring cups, and the amber turkey candle holder are new but look old.

Works for me🥰
