 It is Sunday morning October 8th and Junior's on his way over where baby's sitting for a couple hours today while mommy works and daddy works on the addition before the other grandparents leave to come to California so anyway we're filling in and that's fine. I already got up early this morning and made a small tiny batch of baby applesauce. I haven't made baby applesauce since our daughter was little she's 29 and so but yeah and so yeah so I made a small batch and anyway I have a lot of projects I'd like to do including make some more project bags out of some of the stuff I bought yesterday but Junior's a priority so yeah anyway that's it for the minute I'll be back and some are very very bad naughty type of situation. Why are they sad and glad and bad? Monday morning is Monday morning October 8th yeah 1047 a.m. so we're gonna do some sewing this morning I'm gonna do a little mini tutorial on that we're gonna also do hopefully finish the watercolor painting I've got video to edit socks to finish it's gonna be a busy day but anyway I guess I better get started because it's already late all right I'll be back. We made a crap ton of project bags and so I'm gonna pick out a couple of the fabrics that I know when I started making them that I wanted for my collection why I want this orange this one with the orange zebra have no idea but yeah and I think the rest of them are gonna go up for sale so yeah but a whole stack even one of these I'm gonna keep the green one so anyway all right that's it for the minute it's time to eat lunch we got all the project bags done I ate some lunch they need to be double checked for loose threads and then wrapped up and packaged photographed all that stuff not necessarily that order and listed for sale I also need to clean up my super mess yeah and then we need to paint something before I do video editing so all right I guess better get to it I'll be back bag video done bags are packaged painting video done and drying I've got to clean up a few things still have to work on the socks yeah all right good morning on this rainy Wednesday I think it's October 11th and it is 10 11 a.m. it's not a babysitting day so juniors home with mommy and daddy and I am going to go run some errands and then work on some more projects crocheting in particular printed a bunch of new patterns out still working on socks is going to be an ongoing project I enjoy making socks the more I work with the particular pattern that I've downloaded and the more I get used to it the easier it is for me to make them and I and it's easy for me to take with me whether I'm going to the doctor's office or we're going on a road trip or whatever so socks will be an ongoing project but I have some yarn I bought upstairs to make a sweater with and I think I'm gonna make a sweater for husband I have a unisex sort of pull-over pattern that's not really for men or women it's kind of could be for anybody and I think I'm going to see if I can use that to make him a sweater I really like the way that pattern works it's fairly simple not complicated if it's too complicated I get bored it's not that I can't do it I get bored and so this one is not like that in fact this one is one that even if I get past a certain point I can even take this with me on the road and so anyway so we'll be working on those later today I think I have to finish a particular pair of socks first and organize some patterns clean up some stuff I've laid out on the art table yeah but first we have a whole bunch of errands to run so we're gonna go do that I did get gifted via a buy nothing local buy nothing group some crochet thread and that was really sweet it was a lot of crochet thread and in stuffed inside one of the balls of crocheted thread was somebody's very old vintage piece of handmade lace of course I pulled that out I have a bin of handmade lace I've been sort of collecting and I do think I have something in the back of my mind I might want to do with it I have been up in the art room working on stuff stuff and stuff and stuff and stuff I'm gonna make Mr. Bob a sweater soon doesn't find the right pattern but I do have this yarn I bought a while back it's premier spun colors it's a wool acrylic blend which would be good for him and those colors are perfect for him so yeah I'm working on the socks for my friend cleaned out the yarn bag that goes downstairs and yes we went from one pattern binder to I know I know I dropped off some donations today I'll tell you what this is about Michelle Jasek I think that's how you pronounce your last name if it's wrong I apologize and she had a thrift crochet thrift flip video where she took to granny square afghan and turned it into a cardigan that was really cute I even commented on the video and said now you got to have me now I got to go look for a granny square afghan didn't really ever expect to find one in colors that I like and look what I found today you guys so I just come out of the washing machine and dryer I'm going to hang it up and let it sit for a bit and make sure it's really really dry I don't know have any idea what kind of yarn this is it feels like it's probably acrylic or acrylic and cotton I'm not sure I'm going to be pulling the squares apart and reassembling them into a sweater and on the way home and like crap I've got it now I've got to go get yarn that matches us to reassemble it no I don't I'm gonna use all the bits and pieces that come off of here from disassembling it including the edging to reassemble the sweater so that'll be cool anyway I'm gonna go finish those socks and grab my bone broth which is in the microwave warming up and I will be back okay mr. junior is going home and if you're watching this clip you've seen a few edited clips of him trying to go to sleep on my lap not wanting to let go of my eyeglass cord because you know I don't know I'm gonna go check the mail and then we are gonna sit and start a new crochet project I'm gonna keep making socks but I'm also gonna start a project sweater for mr. Bob so yeah for which I don't quite have enough yarn but thankfully the store I got it from still has some of it and I was able to while junior was napping order two more balls and I will go pick it up I already paid for them they pulled them it's ready and I'll go pick them up tomorrow so yeah anyway let's see if there's any mail I'll be back mostly junk one bill might be our property tax bill so there's that alright I go sit have probably a nice coffee and start mr. sweater I think he has his masonic lodge meeting tonight and so yeah I don't want to get too far on the sweater because I'm not sure on the sizing on the pattern and or my gauge so I want to do only a couple of rows and then have him here so I can try it on him yeah alright I'll be back oh an FYI I am awfully terrible at making gauge for watches I almost never do which is probably a gigantic mistake but yeah there's that okay so one of the things that the daughter did for me is today when she picked up junior she brought me the bag of yarn she picked up for me the other day that was being given away free by somebody locally and not a lot of yarn but that's okay but I saw a video recently where the person in the video was making a mushroom bag and the pattern wasn't hers but the bag she made it was really cute it was very inspired by the color she used and it made me think to make a bag in similar colorway inspired by the 1960s and 70s with the mushrooms being like gold caps orange caps red caps with white or tan bases and I really liked how she did the circles in green and the base basic part of the bag in a brown go watch her video I'll link it down below anyway I also was thinking well as far as the mushrooms are concerned I've got those two rope baskets they're full of mini skeins and leftovers bet I have all the colors for the mushrooms in there somewhere I thought well I need some green and brown because that I know I don't have I'll guess what's in the bag it's probably red heart it's very soft but it's a great green and then there's not as much of it but there might be enough but look brown those are so I can use those for a future project there was also this if anybody knows what this is let me know I don't know what this is it's really pretty maybe there's might be enough for a hat maybe there's this lion brand hometown USA chunky just one skein in this red there is another lion brand Heartland in this pretty blue there is this random ball of blue it is not the same blue as the Heartland it's a different blue and it kind of feels like red heart and then there's a dollar store tweed in this gray color which is pretty there's only like 98 yeah 98 yards and these little balls are usually a hundred yards or less so I'm not sure what I can do with that but I mean we'll find out then there was this gray ball of yarn grayish tan color it's coming out more here's next to the dollar store one so see you can see it's gray tan color super soft and it's in this mill ends for mill and four hundreds bag does anybody know anything about this it says made in turkey machine washable and dryable mixed fiber yarn assortment acrylic poly nylon wool and I don't know if that means that's acrylic poly nylon wool and I don't know how much of each is I don't know anything about it I am going to Google this doesn't mean I'm gonna get very far so if anybody knows anything about it let me know because the packaging intrigued me and there was at least two other ballot balls in here because there's only one left and it doesn't look like it's been used so let me know alright I'm gonna empty some garbage cans up here and go downstairs and continue working on Mr. Sweater which I did start and I'm having a lot of fun working on that so alright I'll be back morning everybody it is 9 14 a.m. Friday October 12th I think I think it's the 12th not exactly sure that anyway the 12th is there oh god I hope it's not Friday the 13th anyway I have to go out and pick up some yarn for Mr. Bob Sweater because I know even though I've barely gotten started that I don't quite have enough yardage and I want to make sure I have plenty more than enough is good enough in this case it's a brand new pattern so I'm not sure if they'll be a ton leftover or not but and I tell I said before I'm really bad about doing gauge swatches I know I should be better about that if anybody has any tips on doing gauge swatches let me know but yeah anyway we're gonna go do that I got to pick up some stuff for dinner tonight Rebecca and Polly is in junior coming over yes my hair is braided because it was everywhere we're waiting for the kids to come over we're doing family dinner night and we're having lasagna and garlic bread nice we well I am babysitting junior tomorrow I don't know if I'm doing it here or at their house it depends on if mr. is helping pound nails again not quite sure they're putting on the shingles I think tomorrow so I don't know if Polly is actually needs his help his dad's flying down to help I don't I don't I have no idea I don't know how to put up shingles anyway I also started on mr. sweater I went and picked up the extra yarn this morning y'all saw that and it's going pretty well I'm working on the ribbing and when I do these sweaters it seems like the ribbon their ribbing takes the longest to do the ribbing and it's only like 10 stitches wide you like 10 stitches wide but it just you know it's like 150 rows or something and that's kind of complicated stitch so yeah anyway I don't mind it that's fine but it's yeah so anyway we're gonna work on that and I'll alternate between that and socks because still making socks and I have two more sweaters after that one that I want to make and a bag so yeah I have all the supplies for all of the above my local little resale shop in King City I popped in there real quick today on my way home I didn't buy anything but I did talk to the lady I think she might have been the owner I said you know I just like to pop in really quick now and then and just see what kind of yarn and stuff that you have I really love that you guys have that yarn and stuff is so expensive she says yeah we've been selling the most yarn since we opened and we're gonna start carrying a lot more of it next month that might be a bad thing for mister anyway all right that's it for the minute we'll see what happens what we get up to you when the kids get here I'll keep you posted on this weekend I don't know so anyway I'll be back yeah do we look a little tired there might be a reason for that so we babysat junior and Lily all day today grand dog Lily son-in-law and his dad were working on putting on the roof the shingles on the addition at their house and daughter had to work she's a real estate agent by the way if you need help with real estate here in Oregon I will link her stuff down below she's very good at what she does and she can help you out anyway we watched the kids all day and that meant chillin the children chillins yeah they were great to watch but you know they're both a handful so for walks walks and junior was he had vaccines this week I don't think it's his first round of vaccines but he did have four or five of them I think on Tuesday and both lie both legs and one orally and he's been on a weird sleeping eating schedule since then which is not abnormal for a kid who's had vaccines but yeah he was plus he started solids so we're all getting used to it he had two bottles and some applesauce and a teeter cookie and yeah so yeah that's a lot anyway he was also very tired but didn't want to go to sleep he's gonna be one of those toddlers I know you all know what I mean who is dead tired and falling over because they're so tired and they need to go to sleep but you're telling them come on I know you're tired let's go to sleep and they're like no I'm not tired you know what I mean that's gonna be junior he's gonna be the same way anyway we're gonna go grocery shopping now and get it over with because we haven't had a chance to do it yet today and neither of us really want to do it tomorrow so we're gonna get just go do it now I'm in house sweats
