I saw this hack on Instagram or Facebook a few weeks ago and then basically crocheted the extension cord…
wasn’t until last Sunday that I tried using it, and it worked perfectly…
the cord kind of folds into itself and nothing gets tangled… you just undo the amount of cord you need and once done, crochet it back up…

100 Day Project, big girl pants, blessed, crafts, crochet, moments, purple, time, widow
on January 31st I picked up a project that had been sitting in my closet for at least two years…
it was a partially crocheted blanket that I had started and then walked away from… it was going to be for the bed, but I think it is a little small for that…
I decided to work on it for the 100 Day Project, so I’ve been doing a row or two each evening…
last night I finished it;-)… it is going to be great to cuddle up under in the den…
particularly in this cold weather…

last night I was quite excited to look out and see that the solar powered lights glowing…
that means the sun had been shining during the day…
really enjoying the sunlight as much as possible… today I was commenting on the sunlight streaming through the office windows…
was very pleased tonight when I arrived home and looked at the garage windows… had to get out my phone to take a few pictures…
a few years ago I was at a friend’s house and got some amazing shots of hoarfrost on her garage windows… so these pictures reminded me of that special evening when we decorated her living room for Christmas…
frost is amazingly beautiful…
as I walked up to the door my phone chirped with a text from another friend who had just cuddled up on her couch with a crocheted blanket I had made for her a year or so ago and wanted to tell me how she enjoyed it…
lovely memories to finish off a long week…

big girl pants, crochet, health, prayers, surgery shawl, yarn
been crocheting a lot lately… making prayer shawls and blankets for those in my circle who have been facing health issues…
this blue one was for someone who recently had surgery and will have some healing to do…
as I work on them I think about the person they are for and try to infuse healing thoughts and good vibes into the yarn… when I worked on this one the Olympics were on and lots of energy was racing around the room…
I don’t know how to follow a pattern, but I know how to do single, double and triple crochet stitches… once I’ve got it to the size I think I need, I crochet all around it… every one is different and a learning experience, lol…
this one was for someone else who recently had surgery…
the really funny part is I never remember to take a picture when they are finished…
sadly, I am now working on another one… not sad to be making it, sad that my friend is not doing so well…
wishing health and happiness to all my friends and loved ones…
