A day on the farm

Tuesday August 7

david started back to school today. He is finally a SENIOR!!!!! Today the temp reached over a 100 with a heat index over 110. There seems to be no relief for the rest of the week. We hauled hay late this afternoon and boy, did it stick to us. 

Jennifer, you asked what all did I make, well, a little bit of everything. I love to take old sheets, doesn't matter if there is holes in them, tear them up in strips and crochet them into rugs. They are so soft and lovely. I also take the sheets and cut them up into pillow squares and that is how I make alot of my pillows for my porch. I have started making potholders out of old fabric to have for gifts. I also do a lot of fillet crochet. I haven't quilted in a long time but plan on started back when things slow down this summer. I have to do something with my hands. I'm not much into sitting down in front of the t.v and just watching, I have to have my hands busy. Now, I'm going to throw the same question back to you. "what all do you make?"

I got out and casted my vote today, did you?  I prayed hard on some of the people who are running for office. 

I hope that at the end of the day , it will find you with contentment and full of joy.

Neat idea

I love your idea for making rugs out of old sheets. How wide do you tear the strips? How big a crochet hook do you use? Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry you've had trouble finding washing soda. I couldn't find it at Walmart but I did at the grocery store. I wonder if you could find it at Fred's. Good luck. Peace, Leigh-Ann
