My Nellie has such a hard life. She's the Queen Bee!

"Let us unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and ruler of nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions."

--George Washington, in the first presidential proclamation, in 1789, of a day of Thanksgiving

Another man's trash.................

Everyone knows I like a bargain. I like old too, things that is! Vintage and antique is so much better than today's product. Anyway I found this lovely stool at a neighbors trash stash! The legs I'm sure are chrome. I like the red because my kitchen happens to be red. It's a 'Cosco Stylaire' kitchen step stool. It's in great shape as it is although I do want to strip it, repaint and clean up the chrome. Here's one on eBay that mine should look like Retro step stool. Pricey too!!! I like FREE!

Better than Knitting!!!

Eating good bread of course! This No Knead Bread recipe is the best and sooooo easy! Flour, salt, water and a cast iron pot will have you on your way to Artisan Bread right out of your own oven for pennies!

Gift for Mom

This was a gift for my mom's birthday. The pattern is called 'Sunray' and the yarn is Crystal Palace, Fiord, used a 10 1/2 needle. It's an unspun wool. Loved how it turned out. At first I didn't like the roll but I think that makes the scarf different. Neat pattern stitch too. I found one of those large safety pins for it but I really wanted one much larger. I remember my older sister used one on a skirt. Bring back any memories?
