It has been a very nice slow Sunday. The "man of the place" has been at his dads all day so I have had the house to myself.
I decided this morning that I was going to purge and declutter my scraps of fabric. I have accumulated so much over the past decades, seriously decades.
As you can see I have quite a bit of scrap fabric. I have divided it up over time by color and that had worked really well for me. But my love for quilting isn't quite what it used to be and I have literally hundreds of yards of fabric that I should be using, so I’m going to pass on my scraps to a group of ladies that make quilts to sell for extra income. So today I bagged it up and will take to the a person who will deliver the bags.
I have started a crochet scrappy granny blanket which I am using also some scrap yarn that I had again accumulated over time.
I’m using what is considered baby yarn and I just put it all in one tub, because I really didn’t have a use for anything else.
It’s turning out rather cute. I’m really liking it.
It’s been a very pleasant day but we have had some very strong winds here. While I’m out on my walk I came across what I believe was a birds nest laying in the driveway but when I gave it some more intense looking at I realized it was actually a web worm nest. Nasty things when they are alive, hundreds of them in the nest, yuck.
Then I also came across the first Dandelion I’ve seen this year.
Odd thing right there in the driveway in between some rocks
So pretty, such a bright yellow.
Like the daffodils that are up and blooming
For my birthday one of my daughters gave me a new waffle maker seeing how the one I had was over 25 years old and starting to fall apart.
Made up some batter using sourdough starter which taste so good.
The recipe comes from the Clever Carrot
Great way to use up some of your extra starter.
I've notice this past year using sourdough is all the rage, which is good because there are a lot more tasty recipes I have come across.
I'm all for that.
Well until later

Lucky ladies to receive all your fabric scraps. Love the colours in your pretty granny blanket. It is so cheery. How lovely it must be to go for a walk and see spring springing into life.
ReplyDeleteI adore your crochet blanket. Such pretty colours. It's surprising what we can achieve with a few scraps.
ReplyDeleteLucky ladies to receive your fabric scraps.
Such a good idea to pass on your fabric scraps to those who will use and appreciate them. Were you surprised you had so much to give away?
ReplyDeleteYour crocheted blanket is so pretty, looking so soft and warm.
Such a pretty you are making with the yarn. Love the colors. Excellent to share your wealth of fabric with those who definitely will use it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to clear out the scraps you won't use. Love your soft color palette for the granny blanket. Hope we get to see more warm weather, but not so much of the thunder boomer/tornado stuff this spring.
