A Year Of Crochet

Last October I picked up a scarf kit, and slowly taught myself to crochet. It wasn’t too pretty at first, but I kept at it.

My first project wasn’t the best. After that very first scarf, I was hooked on crochet…

I worked on lots of little projects.

I also tried making a few larger projects.

I think about six months in, I was starting to get the hang of it.

It has been a fun, and relaxing hobby to learn.

I hope to keep it up for many years to come.

 

 

Yarn Run

I’ve been making lots and lots of hexagons and granny-squares for a few projects (maybe Christmas presents), and my yarn stash was getting a little low.

My super-sweet hubby told me to visit the yarn section, while he and the kiddos checked out the lawn and garden department.

I found lots of pretty colors, and I got my craft table re-stocked and ready to crochet.

Baking Days

With the weekend quickly approaching, I need to get some snacks ready for the kids. I’ve made a list, and I’ve got lots of dishes to cook ahead and bake. I’m splitting the list between today and tomorrow. After that I’m taking the weekend off.

I’ll be making:

  • Turkey Stock
  • Two loaves of Wheat Bread
  • Two loaves of White Bread
  • One double batch of Cinnamon Rolls
  • No Bake Cookies
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Homemade Chocolate Bundt Cake
  • Brownies from scratch
  • Homemade Salsa

Time to get to it, the clock’s ticking…

 

Sneak Peek Of October’s Tasty Treats

The cool weather makes me want to bake! I’ve been in the kitchen non-stop this month, and I’ve got a few sneak peek photos to share with you.

Better get back to it. I think I’ll make a homemade Chocolate Bundt Cake, and get the kitchen warmed up.

 

 

Thinking of Thanksgiving

It isn’t even Halloween yet (my favorite holiday) and I’m already thinking of Thanksgiving. I’m anxious to see our families, and cook for everybody too.

I have a lot to get done though… There are  lots of little projects to be done around the house before guests arrive. I also need to get a budget set for the meals, and make a menu too.

I’ve been practicing Turkey dinners for the last few months, just to see how the oven cooks them. My hubby doesn’t seem to mind though, he likes the extra turkeys.

Today it really feels like Autumn has finally arrived, and I can’t wait for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
