Giant Granny Square...

My large granny square is coming along nicely. This yarn is a bit stiff, especially the white. I'm sure it will soften up with use though.

Memorial Day Monday...

Today is Memorial Day, a time to remember and give thanks to those men and women who have served in the armed forces for our country.

It has been a great weekend with rest and relaxation, time spent with family and friends, a wonderful BBQ and an extra day off from work to enjoy.

Three day weekends are wonderful.

I tried something new - I made liquid hand soap. I think it turned out pretty good and I am happy at the money to be saved because of it. I followed this recipe from The Farmers Nest. She has a great picture tutorial to follow. I made just 1/2 a batch with a bar of Zest. I was able to fill two jugs, like the one in the background of this picture, for about $0.70 - a fabulous deal.

I have also started on the fourth book in the Outlander series...

And hooked up this little fruit cozy. You can find the pattern here on the Michaels website. I made the larger size, but my smallest apple still had a hard time squeezing into it for the pictures - lol. 

I hope you are enjoying your day.

Embroidery...

I have been working on this little bit of embroidery. I am still trying to decide what to do with it when it's done. Maybe I'll use it on a small bag or pillow.

Zucchini...

I am amazed at how fast this zucchini plant is growing, and there are flowers starting to grow at the stem.

So excited...

Happy Saturday.
