Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

  The beauty of spring Tulips at Utica Square, Tulsa Oklahoma This week has been a busy one. But that’s the way I like it..... part of the time.  Monday we had business in Tulsa that took most of the day. We did get to go out and eat which was a bonus. Other than that it was pretty much just  a full day of just taking care of stuff. Was going to go to Costco, but my hip was bothering me so we put it off.  Tuesday I didn’t have to go anywhere other than I needed to get to the store and the post office which I’m glad I did because I purchased two of the last ferns I needed for the front porch and I got some happy mail.    I had ordered some yarn, like I really need anymore, but this was in cotton or cotton linen blends. Something I don’t have any of other than that to make wash cloths out of. I figured I was going to try a few different brands and see which ones I like the best for summer tops. This box here came from knit picks.   Otherwise, most of my day consisted of cleaning. But I w

  I had started this post yesterday with the thought of doing it on the gardening. That has mainly what I’ve been up to these past couple weeks.  But then I went into the studio because I was going to work on getting the snowman wallhanging finished (spoiler alert: didn’t) ……Well I got sidetracked. I had this organizing bug hit me and I started cleaning up the studio and came across a bunch of knitted WIP’s. So then I thought, I’m going to share my WIP’s because I believe a lot of us have the same issue. Which I definitely have. That is too start a project and not finish it by before I start a new one.  So I took a picture of the basket with all my sock WIP’s.  Now mind you this is only my socks. I have many other whips that I am not including because I’m categorizing my projects. So here are the WIP’s I have in the basket.  ALL 9 OF THEM  Now these WIP’s come in all stages.  From the planning stage to being almost completed, like needing the toes sewn together. This pair of socks is a

I am so out of the habit of writing it has become quite a challenge. Example is this post, started this back in March. I find that fact so sad and need to figure out ways to “just do it”  Now it’s just doing it     I said, I would show some of the stuff that I have been working on the past couple of months, at least. I thought I would start with sewing, these are the ones I have been working on. Have a little quilting, an apron, something that I used fabric to make, a basket, but I did not sew that one on the machine.  I had attached some binding to a quilt that my stepmother had started, and I finished.  Then there was some receiving blankets that I had started. Oh my gosh, I would have to say at least five years ago maybe longer . So let me start off I will start off with the oldest and that is the receiving blankets. They’re made out of flannel, of course. It’s not necessarily though, you could make them out of cotton or that gauze that was popular. I made mine out of flannel becaus

  💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃 Well, it’s been a while again and I have to apologize for being absent so abruptly during my vlogmas time last Christmas If you have read my blog back then, which was only been a few months and haven’t written anything since then, that I left it off with that I had received a diagnosis of the possibility of breast cancer.  Well it was and I have taken care of what I needed to do these past couple months. I ended up having ductal carcinoma in my left breast, which was a large mass, and it meant that the left breast needed to be removed. Ductal carcinoma normally stays within the milk ducts of your breast and that’s what mine did. By removing the whole breast I was eliminating the cancer and any possibility of the cancer spreading to the other breast. I had very large breast, my cup size was a H, and there is no way to do a reconstruction where they could get the removed breast to match the other side. Now I could possibly have a breast

  The past 4 days I’ve been able to get a few things done. I finished another one of the grandsons knitted hat. This one was black, and will take a picture tomorrow. Just forgot to and seeing how I’m not prepared at the moment. I did get a picture of the slippers I made Friday. I have a couple of other pairs to make for gifts. The pair for my daughter I’m waiting on an order for some yarn she picked out  thank goodness they are easy to make and quick.  I did very little on my snowman wallhanging. Nothing new to show, so bad….. Remember in the last post I mentioned “the man of the place” and I were going out to get something to decorate the house. We did and I wish I had taken more pictures than I did. I was just in a daze being around so many beautiful plants.  It was pretty foggy that day, in fact it had been for most of the week. Ended up purchasing a couple poinsettias and Cyclamens.  I’ve been working some on my Christmas socks Just finished the heel and it’s going along very nicel
