Another Blogaversary

January 20, 2021

Good morning.  It's not quite 6:30 am yet, but I've been up for hours.  I seem to be falling asleep during the evening, and waking up shortly after midnight.  Not the best for me, so I'm hoping this changes back to something a bit more normal soon.

My mind is escaping me again.  Two days ago I began my fourteenth year blogging.  I started my blog on January 18, 2008.  I had meant to mention this on my blog on the eighteenth.  A blogger friend, Snow Raven, helped me to get started.   And yes, she still blogs.  Look up her blog to see some of beautiful creations.

I did not get to do my laundry yesterday.  I was kept busy throughout the day bringing in packages with things that I had ordered.  After letting them sit for a while, I then had the task of putting these things away.  Deanne came by after work and brought me some apple turnovers.  Yummy!  I had two of them for lunch!

One of the packages that came was the one with my new delicious scrubby yarns.  Oh my, they are sooooo pretty!  As soon as I can, I'll take a photo of them.  Or, as I make a cloth with each color, I'll photograph it.

Let me share a photo of  Deanne's little dog, Sassy, trying out the new self heating pad that we got for her bed.  She seems to like it.  Isn't she just the cutest!

I don't know if I mentioned before, but a few nights ago, while crocheting the blue pocket wrap, I discovered that something wasn't right.  It looked as though I had missed a stitch or two somewhere.  But where?  I already had more than 130 rows (out of 160) done.  Oh my, I found the boo boo.  I only had to rip out all but the first sixty rows in order to correct the problem.  Because this was going to be a gift, I ripped out the rows and made a huge ball of yarn to start over with.

After putting back a couple rows of the Blue, I decided to work on a new pocket wrap at the same time.  So I started another one with Aran yarn.  (color is a cross between ecru and ivory)  This way, I'll work on the Blue one for a while, then switch over to the Aran one for a while.   In between, I'll make scrubby cloths with my new scrubby yarn. 

Today I'm waiting for just a few more items to arrive from my "paper goods" order from WalMart that I placed a few days ago.  That should take care of all the orders that I had placed.  

Here's an image that I borrowed from the web.  It brought back memories.  This is how I used to bring in my laundry many years ago.  I did my laundry by hand in the tub or sink (until I finally got a washing machine), then hung everything outside on the clothesline.  In winter, everything would freeze.

Well, my eyes are getting tired now so I think I'll try to catch a few winks.  In the meantime, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
