Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

  Wake up Lovey, it’s day 4 of Blogmas. It’s been a long day of not much to write about. This morning I was having my coffee and planning my day When my dad called and asked if I could drive him to Tulsa so he could care of an errand.   That was no problem since I had no obligation elsewhere. And you know what that means I wasn’t back until around 4.  We did have a good time together and lunch.  We both had a salad, he had a Cobb salad and I had a Cheeseburger salad  No sewing today but a lot of knitting.  This is what I have done so far on my Seaman’s hat Making good progress. Tonight’s movie is one of my favorites  What is your favorite Christmas  movie?  This is such a short post today, it happens sometimes.  Well we’ll see what tomorrow brings, God willing. Kat 

  Here it is day 3 and have a little to share.  Was a busy day of catching up on some  cleaning and a little more decorating. Seems like as I’ve gotten older the days of rushing and worrying about getting everything perfect are no more.  I find it perfectly okay to do a little each day and if I don’t get it all done it will be just fine. I spent a fair amount of time sewing on the Peace quilt. I’m making the 74” x 74” size. Using 2 1/2” strips. Starting now to placing the sewn strips up on the design wall Feels good to be making a quilt again, seems like a lot longer than it has been. I know I won’t have this done in time for Christmas but my goal is to have it done this winter to give away as a gift.   Speaking of gifts this is day 3 Advent gift The tea was also in the package. Not bad. Had to get out my Santa mug for the occasion. Worked some more on the grandson’s hat while watching some Vlogmas’s and this evening while watching tonight’s Christmas movie. Forgot to mentioned last ni

  Day 2 and it was such a gorgeous day out. I’ve been meaning to ride my bike for the past couple days and finally this morning I was able to. It was just wonderful. Other than that it seems like my day just did not go as planned. I don’t know if you have that same issue or not I assume you do you and does it just drive you nuts, I know it does me. Even though I was busy most of the day, I barely got anything completed. Example I went to the store after going to the post office and I was going to pick up the few items I needed to make the chia jam. I needed some cherries and I needed some lemon juice. OK what did I do… I get home and realize I forgot the lemon juice. Now I live in the country and even the small town it’s 10 miles away so to just go back and get some lemon juice can be a pain in the bottom….. decided I will just wait till tomorrow. No jam to show or tell whether it was good or not. If all goes right, tomorrow I will. I wanted to share my Advent countdown candle. I shoul

  It’s here, the first day of Blogmas and I am ready. I had a busy day today which threw me off a little bit but I was able to get some of the things I wanted to do today done. Today I needed to go to Tulsa to see the dietitian, which went very well and I look forward to working with her in the future. Then I went to Michael’s looking for a candle to create an advent calendar candle. I had a little luck, I was able to get a white candle and some stickers to put on the candle and as you can see in the picture so far it’s working. I’ve mentioned this before but it seems like every time I go to Tulsa it’s pretty much an all day affair and again today with no different. I did not get home until 3 o’clock this afternoon. Which meant I was a little late getting started doing some of the things I plan today.  Opened my first day of my advent calendar from Sherry Iris and the yarn it’s so pretty. Very pleased with the color, Just wish the color was more true in the picture. I mentioned yesterd

I don’t know about you but I’m starting to feel like Buddy here. Tomorrow is the start of Blogmas and I’ll be posting everyday till at least Christmas. Now like usually I have some lofty plans and hope I can pull most of it off. My thoughts are to share some ideas for gifts, decorations and recipes….. Also what I’m working on whether it’s quilting, knitting, sewing, weaving  or something new. Along with some outings we have planned. I have a couple Advent calendars to open and an Advent knitting project I plan on doing. These things will start tomorrow and I am getting excited to start. Along with all the plans I have I’ll be sharing the usual stuff. So I hope you’ll join me for what I think will be fun.

  Figure it’s about time to show some sort of quilting going on.  But first let’s ravel in a bit of coziness  My morning…. Sat outside for awhile but was a bit chilly and could only stand it for a little while. Had to go in and sit next the fire, felt very nice to be next to, nothing like wood heat if you ask me. Planned my day during that time by the fire and my main goal besides cleaning was to figure out what I should do next   I had big plans to finish this top before Halloween but that didn’t happen….. 😩 Had the last pieces cut out but just never got back to it.  So should I continue on with the plan or do what I think I need to focus on. The next quilt I want to work on will be a gift and really need to start, I should of sooner.  I had seen this on the Missouri Star site and knew this would be perfect for a friend of mine. She had gone through chemo treatments before me for breast cancer and we supported each other through our journey. I have containers full of 2 1/2 “ strips 

 Here it is the 1st of November and I’m thinking how many days till     Christmas  Doesn’t seems that long does it. I’ve been already collecting gifts trying to get ahead start for a change. How about yourself? Today was therapy for the Lymphedema. Today she shown me some exercises to aid with the swelling. I’m still waiting for the compression leggings. I forgot to mentioned that last week our large freezer went out and thank goodness we have an smaller freezer to put some of the stuff in.  Eventually we’ll have to get it repaired or replaced.  If isn’t one thing or another.    I’m rushing through this and what I planned will have to be  tomorrow  I’ll finish and post it. Till tomorrow  Kat
