Project Time
One of my summer time goals is to complete a bunch of projects and project ideas I've had going on for some time.
So far I have crocheted a blanket for my grandbaby, Makaylia. I also sewed her a pretty red furry blanket.
I am in the middle of crocheting my second grandbaby, Gabriel, a blanket. (He is due to arrive in September!) I would like to make him a furry brown blanket.
I really need to finish my son, Jacob's blue jean quilt. I should have had it done two years ago! It is made up completely of blue jean pockets! He wants a piece of fur put on the back of it.
I am crocheting liners for baby Sarah's cloth diapers. I would like to sew them inside of some flannel.
I am making special wash cloths for my married children. They say "his" and "hers" on them.
Crocheted potholders and dish rags are always on the list. I want to make extra for Christmas gifts.
Speaking of Christmas, I want to make scarfs, hats, pillows, blankets, wash cloths and towels.
I have so many more projects on my list including learning to make mozzarella and cream cheese, yogurt, and soap. (I already make laundry soap! I love that so much that I want to learn more!)
I want to make jellies and jams on top of "regular" canning. I want to add more to the garden. (It's already way too big!)
Major house cleaning is at the top of the list!
Dejunking will have to include selling some of my books. (I can't believe I said that!)
I am in the process of rewriting my book, "The Word of God on Healing". I lost it when my old computer crashed.
I have other books that are just waiting to be taken out of my notes and put onto the computer.
Wow! I had better get off from the computer and get started!
Aprons
Need an apron is a pinch?
Use a button-up (or zip-up) shirt.
My husband's flannel shirts work great!
Hmm, I wonder if he would agree with that!?!
Blue Jean Quilts
Wonder what to do with all of those old blue jeans?
Why not make a quilt?
Cut the jeans in to equal size squares, then stitch
them together.
Add some batting and two yards of material for
the backing.
Viola! You have a quilt!
Need some new pot holders?
Cut out some blue jean back pockets, sew on
a back, and use a belt loop to hang it up.
Mine say, "Candy's Country Kitchen"
written in black permenant marker.
Hey, these make great Christmas gifts, too!
