Making plarn

Spent the evening making plarn (plastic yarn) with the LEOs. Mrs. Elouise brought a sleeping mat she made for the homeless. She also used some of our plarn to demonstrate the crochet technique for creating the mats.

Yard work & musky dimes

I'm so excited!  Sugar Daddy helped me finish mulching around my muscadine & scuppernong vines!  It went SO much faster with him pushing the wheel barrow while I was laying down the paper & bricks.


Doesn't it look great?!?!  (Imagine this times 3)  We had the pea gravel left over from the shed foundation and the bricks were from tearing down the front of the house so "Free Project"! YAY!
Next: wire for the vines to run on.




See that bushy clump behind the good lookin' fella?


We spent more than a few days chopping down bushes & discovered it was a trash pit in the past...


 

lots of glass and broken bottles...
 
 
Filled up the ditch with limbs and fallen trees...



Got a load to take to the scrap metal place...

 
 
 
and now it looks like this!

Indian Pony

My Granny embroidered this shirt for me when I was about 8 or 9.
Same Granny let me use her sewing machine anytime she wasn't, taught me to quilt & how to make lots of other things.
