Our crafts tend to change as we get older for various reasons but there is always something that takes our fancy. I too, did counted crosstitch for decades but as soon as I discovered embroidery I was hooked. It was so much quicker. I used to knit a lot but find crocheting much quicker too. Nice to "meet" you.<br />Ondreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397162777493230125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905589904286476078.post-71017639224820900412019-01-18T19:48:39.282-08:002019-01-18T19:48:39.282-08:00The apron pockets are a stroke of genius and beaut...The apron pockets are a stroke of genius and beauty!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696020349692690483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905589904286476078.post-6805942749991834892019-01-16T21:24:30.343-08:002019-01-16T21:24:30.343-08:00How fun that you follow Jenny too!!!

At home on the farm, my garden is huge...and a pain to weed and care for, so I'm looking at some other ways to grow vegetables, like these: https://preparednessmama.com/gutter-garden/<br />http://theselfsufficientliving.com/rain-gutter-garden/<br />http://easyverticalgardening.com/building-a-vertical-gutter-garden/<br /><br />Not much weeding, dogs won't dig in them, easy to harvest!Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905589904286476078.post-70660534016290583752019-01-16T01:49:32.084-08:002019-01-16T01:49:32.084-08:00Your apron is beautiful.

I loved baking with my grandmother. She is the one who taught me to knit, but only garter stitch and it was fun to sit with her and knit. I miss her greatly. Now, I am a stay at home mom and couldn't love it more. Taking care of my family brings me so much joy.stitchingirlblog.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667875464594937456noreply@blogger.com
