Well the last couple of days I haven’t made anything besides dinner. But tonight I might do a little sewing. We shall see.

The afghan looks very pretty so far Homerof2

Yesterday I did just a few rounds on my sock, and after frogging an old crochet project on which I lost hope, I re-started it with the intention of making a cat-basket. Between the intention and going up one size hook, it’s already looking more promising.
Tonight I made a variant of moco loco using what I had on hand (lentils and quinoa rather than rice and beef). The supposedly “sweet onion” I picked up last week didn’t have much flavor, so I added cooking wine to the gravy and that did the trick. I guess I wanted marsala…or maybe just some booze. :crazy_face:
ETA: I apologize for publicly defaming and casting doubt upon the sweet onion; I forgot that I have a cold and probably am not tasting things properly. I shouldn’t be so quick to judge an onion. [hic]

I hope your cold leaves soon @calluna.

The past few days I have finished cutting my dh’s soccer shirts and now need to start my son’s. I am working on a hoop for @JoyfulClover (almost done!), and added a neat embellishment to a small fabric twine wrearh3 I ordered from Etsy.


It’s for my sil who has a kid in marching band and one who plays football. I need to add some football embellishment (maybe a wooden football on the bottom) and possibly the school name (scrabble tile or small squares? The name has 10 letters and a space) and the wreath is 8".

I can see school colors wreaths with these kinds of embellishments being popular!

I am thinking of doing one in black and gold for football season this fall…it could be for my alma mater, Purdue or my team, the Pittsburgh Steelers!

I forced myself to cut into a bunch of the masterboards I got in the last swap and started playing with the pieces. I had no real idea in mind, so I can’t say how well it is or isn’t going :laughing:.

27/29 … today when my MIL heard I picked up a cold from my grand daughter, she commented I’d brought a bit of her home with me :smiley: My bed and I are still being good friends but when I’m able to sit up, I crochet so rows are slowly being added to my afghan.
