YOP Week #20


 What a week this has been!  Last night the weather radio went off about 6 times with Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado warnings.  Thank goodness it wasn't here and I checked this morning and all seems to be fine in AR....thank goodness!  But I didn't get much sleep....lol!  There may be a nap this afternoon!  Also, the wind was really howling and it was Mother Nature cleaning up the trees.  When I looked out this morning they were all bare!  Just  yesterday they still had leaves but POOF!  They're gone!  

At this time of year it is all about Christmas making although I am trying to make less for others but there is a bit....

I finally got all the sides of the Frida Kahlo basket pinned and ready to sew hopefully this afternoon....I'm not really motivated but I need to finish..........

I started working on the 2020 Collectible ornaments for the grands and that I will continue to do each year.........I finished one and started on another..........they will all get "final finished" at one time when I'm done with all of them.........It took longer to sew all the buttons on with their matching thread than it did to do the cross stitch! LOL!

I continue to work on the hexies as it is for me and so enjoyable!  I finished another one which is #7 of 11 whole diamonds..not counting the half and quarter ones that need to be done plus the connecting hexies..........

Here are the fabrics for the next one.........

There's no haul this week but I will be ordering some supplies........here are some things I have printed out for some Christmas makes that are "crafty"....I'm going to make a kit for the grands and all they'll

have to supply will be the milk carton.........I have to ship everything so I thought a kit would be best.

If I have time I plan on making them some aprons as they both love working in the kitchen and their mom requested these....I haven't found a pattern but I think I can figure it out............

This will be a small XS ornament for my SIL as he is a big Iowa Hawkeye fan....well...really we all are

As for my "injuries" I feel fine but the bruising was really ugly!  This isn't even as dark as it was.....it didn't hurt though and nothing got broken so I am blessed!  Why is it you bruise so badly when you get old?  If I bump into anything I bruise!  Crazy! No, I am not on any blood thinners either.


I'm leaving you with a little holiday tip and some humor which we can all use!

Happy Trails!!!

You have been busy this week. Only 4 more full hexies to go. That is great. Your daughter is going to love her bag. The lining is so pretty. Those little ornaments for the grands are precious. The buttons are so sweet on them. What cute ideas you have found for the grands to make. Sending the supplies is a great idea. You are such a fantastic Grandma. The aprons should not be too hard to make. It's just finding the time to male them. Have a great week. The turkey comic was very funny.

Seems to me you have been quite crafty this past week. I'm always impressed. Love the milk jug snowman.

I share your frustration with increased bruising due to aging. My legs frequently look like someone beat me with no idea how the bruise happened. Sadly my hubby is on blood thinners so he always has on at least one band-aid. I didn't put a picture on my post of how I sliced my finger this past week removing desired stickers from mini clothspins to use on my advent calendars. I don't do well with blood running down my hand so had to laydown a few minutes. Fortunately seems to be healing well.

The windy leaf cleaners came through here, too this week. Poof! Looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with the hexi diamonds. I'm thinking you've told us once upon a time, but I'm afraid I've forgotten. I look forward to seeing your Frida Kahlo basket finished up, and the ornaments you'll be making the grands! It will be Christmas before we know it!

Yes our skin gets thinner as we age so we bruise easily. Too bad the rest of us doesn't get thinner:) Cute Turkey funny:) Stay safe and keep busy!!

Go Hawks! I really like all of your crafts. The little tree is so cute. I still have a pair of socks that I started tonight and a sweater for Mandy to make for Christmas. I'm still waiting for the yarn to arrive from Knit Picks for the sweater. If it's late, she'll understand.
Love that turkey meme. Poor thing. Nothing to worry about at our house though. Dennis requested chicken enchilada's for Thanksgiving!
I'm finding that I'm bruising much easier too. I have bruises where I don't even remember bumping.
Have a wonderful Monday Sam.
Blessings,
Betsy

Well hello! So nice to have a moment to catch up on your blog. You have been super busy, as usual. The Lori Holt vintage Christmas stitchery is a great one to make as collectible ornaments for your grandkids. I'm stitching them individually as well but thought I would make them into small pillows. The turkey cartoon made me laugh out loud :)

Yes, we had a wind storm too, and now our apple trees are officially leave free. More raking once the rain stops. I am impressed with the annual decorations you make for your grands. Such a lovely tradition. I chuckled at that poor turkey in the cartoon. So cute. Take good care Sam - I always love reading what you have been up too each week.

We had high winds in the cottage we were staying in and stuffed toilet rolls into the cracks around the edge to stop the whistling. Upto 80mph but we don’t get tornadoes thank goodness. I love that tip on wrapping paper and feel a numpty not already doing that...there’s rolls in our hall cupboard I will do as soon as we have an empty roll. You have a lot of gift crafting on the go, so nice to have a gift worthy family.

I'm Charlotte Johnson,65  years old, Here in Alberta, Canada. With the new herbal mix medicine, I purchased from Dr. James herbal mix medicine West Africa was my only way to get rid of my Alzheimer's, the herbal mix medicine effectively reversed my condition and alleviated all symptoms.  I was initially very hesitant to discuss my Alzheimer but I just hope it can still help someone. I feel this will be very important information for all Alzheimer's patients because the most violent element in society today is ignorance. Be it any condition, a healthy diet and natural herbs and roots medicine from Dr. James is the road to fast recovery. I had suffered from Alzheimer's for many years, I fought for proper medical recommendation, care, and all forms of humane treatment with little improvement. I went through many sleepless nights and periods of intense grief, as do most families. I was recommended by a friend to use Dr. James herbal mix medicine for my Alzheimer's with high hope and assurance. I never doubted my friend but to contact Dr. James. And purchased His herbal mix medicine which was effective and I finally feel my Alzheimer's is gone with no more symptoms. He also told me that he got cures for diseases such as  Lungs diseases, kidney diseases, Warts, Bipolar disorder, Shingles,  HPV, ALS, CANCER, NEPHROTIC SYNDROME, HIV / AIDS, Herpes virus, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic cancers, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts, Macular degeneration, Cardiovascular disease, Autism. Enlarged prostate, Osteoporosis. Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, Tach Diseases, Lupus, Backache, dementia, skin cancer, testicular cancer, Leukemia, HEPATITIS A, B, C, Contact  the great one on his email     DRJAMESHERBALMIX@GMAIL.COM   With Dr. James herbal medications for Alzheimer's, trust there is a permanent cure to Alzheimer's and you will testify just like me thank you all.

How I got cured from herpes I thank Dr akhigbe. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr akhigbe on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr akhigbe prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as Dr akhigbe assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact Dr.akhigbe for help via drAkhigbe35@gmail.com or whatsapp +2348151244418

My health was horrible before I decided to try the Protocol Of taking Dr. Omola pure herbal mixture. I felt there was no hope for my health and I was to try the Protocol, thinking it wouldn’t work because I have visited so many hospital but same result. However, I was convinced by a Instagram friend to try the herbal medicine because I wanted to get rid of Herpes virus. The herbal mixture that was given to me was really quick and easy to take, within 2 week I was fully cured from Herpes. The herbal medicine really work and I will like to share this great doctor contact with you all email him dr.omolaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2348118116254 you won't regret it, I promise.

The greatest Joy in my life today is that i have been cured of Herpes by a Doctor called Dr. Edualekhide, I was infected with HERPES Disease in 2017, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution,so that my body can be okay. Until one faithful day as I was browsing on the internet I saw a testimony on how Dr. Edualekhide has helped people in curing Herpes and other diseases, quickly I copied his WhatsApp number so i contacted him for solution for my Herpes disease, So Dr. Edualekhide told me that his going to prepare his herbal medicine for my health which he sent to me, luckily after 2week my Herpes was cured. Dr. Edualekhide is well recognized as one of the best herbalist doctors in Africa, you don't have to be sad anymore or share your tears anymore on this disease when the cure is available. The medicine has NO SIDE EFFECT,there's no special diet when taking the medicine. He also cures ALS, HIV AIDS, CANCER, HPV, DIABETES and lots more.
