Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

It's is Thursday.....Throwback Thursday I thought I would try something new and republish an older post. This was first published August 6, 2011 Hope you enjoy and can use this pattern OK, I know this looks strange but this is Pete yawning after playing with his toy I made.

I had also started what my oldest daughter calls a rope scarf for her. It will be three of these, having one completed. Had thought about just crocheting these like

I was blessed to spend my summer surrounded by family but now everyone have gone back home. School started yesterday for the grandsons and next week for my niece and nephew. Its hard to believe it's been 10 weeks since I last posted.  Had a few road trips to Utah, California and back  Dinosaur National  Monument, Utah Turtle Rock, Utah Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada At a rest stop in Colorado we met a fellow  Oklahoman. First time I've seen horses get out and stretch their legs and grab a bite. It's Friday but I don't have anything to share as a finish yet. Been spending time taking mom to doctor appointments and getting the house back in order. I am working on some small projects right now, curtains for my oldest daughter and  a hair wrap towels for me. When I finish I'll show them. For now I'll just say it's great to back and getting things m
