making



Yep, this is what I am up to....crocheting 100% cotton washcloths or dishrags, which ever you prefer. 

I let daughter #2 pick the color of yarn, which I think is so much fun because it is variegated!

Obviously, this is not perfect and it is my first try, but I am loving the imperfections : )

I think I am getting better at this.....??? (to the right). I wanted to make something that would be useful and practical for gifts.
Have a great day!

stones


I began this project many months ago. I was inspired by this:

http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2010/7/18/margaret-oomens-little-urchin-crochet-covered-sea-
stones.html


I finally found some stones near this ancient stone fence near my home.....


I am uncertain how old this fence is but there are many of these for miles and miles of road...
Ancient bits of history. I wonder as I drive along who built them and what were they like?
Were they building them to mark their land or keep their sheep from wandering?
It does not matter. I love the Ancient charm.

Inspired to take both projects further by this:

Venturing out....



Today was such a lovely clear blue sky day.
 I secreted away and this is what I saw! 







Fall is unfolding and Summer has begun to melt away.... 
When I awake in the mornings dew
blankets the ground....


So thinking of cool Fall weather I had a "hankering" for wool....



I visited my favorite yarn shop and found this:

Chunky Peruvian Yarn....delicious!


Later in the day I went to #2 daughter's soccer game:

and this was the view from the soccer field we were visiting....

You can see boys preparing for a football game to the left.
It was such a gorgeous day and view.
Now on to some crochet, stitching and library....

What have I been up to?





























I have only a little crochet to share with you. It seems that the demands of everything else have
taken over for a little while. I managed to squeeze this little bit in while waiting on my laundry.
The washer decided to stop working and until it is replaced, visits to the laundry mat are necessasry.
The good news is our local laundry mat is nice and I am using this little bit of time to run errands or crochet.

Also, I wrote a new poem:



You always came bearing gifts....

                  good food
                                good drink
                                              good conversations
We tilled the soil,
built a fence,
watched the fruit trees grow.

The owls flew in the Walnut trees...
I had never seen owls so big!

Hover bees danced to the music of the spheres
and there were rings around the trees.

You know I loved and lived magic.

You slept with your knit hat on, with the flaps
that covered your ears, like a Peruvian in the
mountains. 
It always made me smile.

You were a good friend.

Thank you for every thing....
Be well...
