Crochet Crafts

My hand is almost all healed, so I’ve been cooking and crocheting. I’m happy to have a hook back in my hand.

I’ve been working on another scrappy blanket during the evenings. The weather is already cooling off, and this little blanket is extra warm.

Just in time for Christmas. I finished all eight of my gift blankets for our family. I am so happy to have this project completed.

I tried my hand at amigurumi for Miss Agnes.  At first this little animal was going to be a bunny, and then I thought a bear.

It ended up being a little cat named Mittens.

I’ve been making some scarves too. Some are for teacher gifts, some are for the kids since they have outgrown their other ones. I even made one for myself.

I’m also crocheting Christmas ornaments for Agnes’ class. They have a little gift exchange on the last day before Winter break.

The little wreaths are so cute. I might end up making some for Dylan’s class too.

Thinking of Thanksgiving

Just a little over a week away is one of my very favorite holidays. I’m so ready for Thanksgiving! I’ve got my menu planned, and lists made. I’ve been testing out some new breads and veggie recipes.  I just can’t wait to start cooking!

I’m still sticking with my veggie plan, and I’ve got a great turkey-replacement for Thanksgiving dinner. I will be making turkey for the family, and all of the traditional trimmings, but the veggies are mine!

I love these vegan Kale & Quinoa bites! They are a perfect substitute, and amazingly tasty too. I grabbed a pack of them at the store this morning. I don’t want to be without them for Thanksgiving dinner.

In A Bit Of A Rut

I honestly thought that when the kiddos went back to school I would get so much accomplished. I had plans to tackle painting projects around the house, deep clean everything in sight, work in the yard, and take Miss Mia for daily walks.

I haven’t accomplished a darn thing…

Recovering

So last Friday I burned my right hand pretty darn bad. I ended up visiting Urgent Care, and then the Emergency Room for a shot. It wasn’t too fun, and holy crap it hurt like crazy! Today is Tuesday, and my hand is healing nicely, and feeling so much better.

So I haven’t been up to all that much. I’ve been cleaning dishes, washing laundry, and crocheting the tiniest of bits, just to keep my hand from getting too stiff. I hope to be back at it soon, I miss my yarn.
