Homestead Blog Hop 565

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

I have some things to write up soon, but I find that my mind has been otherwise occupied.

Here lately, the more life throws at me, the more I find that Grandma habits help to regulate my nervous system.

So…I’m crocheting more.

Made a couple more pumpkins, and while that’s fairly inconsequential, it helps. 😊

It started out as me using up scrap yarn, then, I’m afraid, I was hooked! I had to get more brown for the stems, and then I ran out of gold, and here we are!

I actually have a crochet project ready to pick up in three rooms—the living room, my bedside, and out in the sunroom.

I literally do no crochet work all Spring/Summer, then the minute the weather turned nippy, I grabbed my yarn and hook!

I love creating small things! The large projects bog me down!

What helps you to feel calm in the middle of the storms?

Have a great day!

Laurie

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically, anything related to homesteading.
