Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

  I have lost day somewhere, well yesterday that is. I had my last appointment until next year and then went to the grocery store and Costco. It was dinner time by the time I got home.  Another day shot to hell sort of. I was so tired afterward that I fell asleep very early. Today was a very good day but I have nothing to show for it. I met with my stitch sisters today. I haven’t seen any of them since 2019. Between my mom dealing with her cancer, which took her life, the pandemic and then all what I’ve been through this year, 2 years have passed. We sat and all caught up on each other’s life. The other ladies have seen each other on a few occasions in those 2 years but not much. I have no pictures at all of today and apologize for such a disappointing post. Reads more like a journal entry. But I felt I owed you some sort of appearance. I’ll make it up to you tomorrow 

  Hard to believe Christmas is just 11 days away.  And I have only a couple of days left to get the gifts ready to ship before Friday.   I have most of the items finish but still need to finish the hat.   This is all I have done so far . Been working on it some today but it looks as though I better get busy. Did another coaster but no need for a picture, looks just like the last one on the loom This one Then I’m making these for all the book readers in the family (which is everyone)  we are all avid readers. Corner bookmarks. So easy to make and all you need is scraps of fabric..  I’ll be matching fabric to who I’m giving it to.  If you are interested in making your own there are of course a lot YouTube videos that shows you how. Or if you want I could post pictures showing you if you want me to, just let me know in the comments. Todays and yesterday advent from Sherry Iris yarns What a yummy bunch of minis, getting excited on what I can make with them. I have been forgetting to mentio

Blogmas 2021 My "Chicken" Tree  I had made all this last year for Christmas and to be in full disclosure, I haven't taken it down. It stayed up in the corner of the living room all year. That is how much I love it Update here 12-13-21 I wrote those words and this post 9 years ago on this day. And that tree has remained up the whole time except a few years ago I changed the tree to a aluminum one. You will see the original pictures of the tree. Except the first one and this next one.  I had found a crochet pattern on Ravelry for these rooster ornament . I ended up only making one a rooster (love machine) and the rest to be my flock I have     If you leave off the tail feathers they look like hens.  So I made them to look like my flock of girls. Then I added these fake eggs I found at Hobby Lobby, except the ones in the wooden box at the bottom of the tree, they are real.  I put the rooster at the top, looking over his hens.

  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
