Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

  Today is the 3rd Sunday of Advent How was your Sunday? Mine was quiet and relaxing. Watched some Vlogmas podcasts while knitting. And it was some of the knitting I mentioned in yesterdays title which I totally neglected to show. Now I will……. Progress on my Advent knit 🧶  Full of Minis Hat. The grey is from my stash and not last year’s advent minis  I needed a darker contrasting color, which did make the folded stitch easier to do. So if you do make this hat, do make sure you have contrasting colors like the instruction say. Now for a new start, which is another hat, what else…. This is for my other grandson. Again using some acrylic yarn. Then this afternoon I put on the warp for some new coaster on the loom. I had plenty of help this time. As you see, plenty of help.  The blue ball is to help keep the loom from moving. And then the help distracted me that I missed a slot and did not noticed it until I was wrapping up the warp. This time is was a fairly easy fix, this time… This is

  Happy Blogmas I am so wanting some colder temperatures   These 70’s in the middle of December seems so wrong.   Well today I spent sewing on some new face masks for my youngest daughter and myself. My daughter works at an animal diagnostic lab for the State/federal government. They wore masks before Covid so it’s not a change for her. I made ones this time in Christmas fabric. Been meaning to get these finished last week but I’m a little behind schedule. I had made her 3 others a couple weeks ago. These are the ones I made for myself I like this pattern out of the other ones I’ve tried. Fit’s without slipping down and room to speak and breathe easily. Just realize how this could pass as a mug shot……LOL They are comfortable.  I found it on YouTube, I think the channel was called Japanese Sewing Book, free pattern for a 3D masks. Seeing how the virus is still around, I wear one indoor around crowds. I am due for my booster soon but I believe in being careful. Here is todays mini and no

  This is my only tree this year   Missed yesterday, I had a busy day away from the house and was too tired last night to write.  Yesterday I needed to go to Tulsa for a follow up appointment, then go home to pick up “the man of the place” to go to Fayetteville to pick up the new car.  I haven’t yet taken a picture of the new one but here is on of me saying good bye I drove so many trips to California I lost track, good car which had 150,000 miles   Want to hear a funny 😄 🤪 😂 The last time I’ve bought a vehicle was 10 years ago, so it has been a while. Too long I guess because I totally did not give a thought to what to take with me….. Like maybe the title or the registration. They were professional and told me no problem. Mailed them off this morning.   Here are todays and yesterdays advent yarn and in the basket is the first  8 days  Short one tonight Till tomorrow  Kat 

  On this day 46 years ago I gave birth to my second daughter.  So this day is a little special to me.  Unfortunately she live 1200 miles away to be able to celebrate with her.  But I have talked her a couple times already and she is having a good day.  My day has been a good one too.  Had physical therapy this morning and had my evaluation which was decided that seeing how I have made good progress, that today would be my last day until if in the future I feel I need to return.   Then when I got home I had a wonderful message. My car is ready to be picked up. So tomorrow we will go to the dealership. An Early Christmas present.   So I have been beside myself  this evening.    Had thought about putting up a Christmas tree but because of these tw I’ve decided not to.  They look so sweet but I’ll tell you looks can be deceiving. I have been dealing with their mischief since we adopted them in July.  In fact just the other day they were being kittens and knocked over another plant.  All 3

  Wow…. Only 18 days till Christmas  Time is just going by so quickly.  I have gifts to finish and get in the mail.  When thinking about what I need to get finished I realize its all hats I have on my needles.                      I have 3 hats…. Plus need to make another one for my other grandson.  The one I started I had to frog some because I wasn’t paying attention and went to far.  Getting closer to being done…. Then there is my advent knit I think I’ve figured out the fold and knit stitch.  As much as I’m enjoying this pattern now I have to focus on the gifts first.  Then there is the hat I’m not sure who it is for. The yarn I’m using is some that I dyed myself. I used yellow onion skins. Makes such a gorgeous yellow. Love the color. I can see a cardigan made in this color. I even have a pattern picked out but it will have to be a new year start.  This is today’s Advent gift This mini is my favorite so far.  Beautiful  Well I can’t think of anything else. It’s a little late and I

Blogmas 2021 It’s Monday and sure felt like it.  I just wanted to stay home and keep busy here. But I had PT this morning, next week are my last scheduled appointments.  I know it has helped but I’m ready for a break from driving to Tulsa twice a week. I’ll keep doing at home what I’ve learned. This is today’s advent gift.  Loving the earthy colors so far this year. Hope it continues.  Sherry Iris has really done a beautiful job on these minis.    I thought I would share what I’m reading. I had read some of the stories back a couple years ago and I still have more stories to finish. I just love mysteries.  Seeing how all I have done today had to do with taking care of business I thought I would share a past Christmas post. I started my blog 10 1/2 years ago and 9 years ago I had for that year made egg recipes every couple of week and this one of those recipes. Peppermint Meringue’s .  Here is the link to that post with the recipe.  These cookies are an easy make with few ingredients b

Hello, it’s second Sunday of Advent  and the fifth day of Blogmas.  My day started out slow but very pleasant. But as the day went on I had more energy and was able to get some decorating done. Found a craft idea I wasn’t  aware that was popular last year but only just seen it now. So I decided to give it a shot.   But during my my slow morning I worked on my advent hat and got caught up watching some vlogmas’s.  I wanted to ask you if you know of any other blogs who are also doing Blogmas.  I would love to visit them and share what’s other bloggers are doing.  Please put them down in the comments.  While working on my advent hat, there’s a process where you have to catch a stitch in the back from the beginning of your new mini you started. And in the instructions it does say to use contrasting yarn. Well my minis really have no contrast to them and I thought well I’ll give it a try cause I want to use my minis. Well it was a struggle to do that row. Decided it was best to use  a contr
