On my Needles... Christmas Kringling #1

 


Hey y'all! 

I'm Christmas Kringling!

๐ŸŽ„  

Christmas in July is a real thing for me. I've been listening to Christmas music every once in a while this month. I made some snowball cookies earlier this month. Most importantly, I am making and collecting Christmas gifts.

๐ŸŽ„ 

I've been hosting a Christmas Club at my home monthly since last Christmas. We're having fun catching up while we create whatever we'd like.

๐ŸŽ„ 

Currently,  I have too many projects on my needles. I do love working with my hands. So, in the hopes of getting some things finished,  I plan to work on one thing at a time for the next few weeks. I'll share my progress here.

๐ŸŽ„ 

This week's project is a pair of scrappy socks for my brother-in-love.

๐ŸŽ„ 

Now... to try to finish them before next week!

What are you making or creating? 

๐ŸŽ„ 


Keep calm and make on!


Laura

    I have another baby blanket for the Open Door Mission on my crochet hook. So far I've finished 3 pair of socks for Christmas with another two pair to go by the holiday. I should be okay. I would love to have a group of ladies to craft with. I can't seem to find anyone at our church who wants to meet on a regular basis. Everyone seems so busy.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

      You're making marvelous progress, Betsy! Good for you. I found old homeschool mom friends. We all finished homeschooling years ago. It is so refreshing to get together with ladies with a shared history. I recommend you look outside the box.

    I too love to work with my hands however, I am on a reading streak as of late. When that happens my knitting suffers a bit. Hope you get all the "kringling" done that you hope to accomplish!

      Ah, Monica, that's one reason that I love audiobooks. I like my paper books, too; but, I like being productive with my hands at the same time. I use the Everand app.

    Your knitting is inspirational. I don't knit, but I do sew. I am trying to work on a project for the slower days. Many blessings to you Laura!

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!

The Post I've Been Avoiding... The Diagnosis

Image
Hello my dear readers and friends, You've no doubt noticed a change in my blog over the last few weeks and seen hints of health troubles and tests. This is the post I've been avoiding. I just haven't been ready to identify with the problem nor am I sure I want to now. After all, God is the God of miracles. I need miracles, I'll bet you do, too. Here goes. ​  I found a lump on April 22nd. It's been an earth shaker to me and my family for the last few weeks.  This was the cause of the exhausting rounds of tests and appointments. Yes. It is breast cancer. It's in all the lumps in my left breast and in a lymph node. My mother and maternal aunt both had breast cancer many years ago.  To answer a few questions you might have: The CT scan showed no cancer in the rest of my body. Praise God! The oncologist scheduled me for chemo first because it is an aggressive cancer. They want to shrink it first before surgery. I will also have mas...

My Spicy Can Opener Soup was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas!

Just had to share this with you again.   My recipe was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas! I have to admit, I was truly surprised when I received a letter from Gooseberry Patch requesting permission to use my recipe in their newest Christmas cookbook.  I've sent in some more complicated recipes, but this one is easy peasy! It's truly a recipe that I threw together using items from my nearly bare kitchen cupboards last winter. I called it Spicy Can Opener Soup.  They changed the name, but the ingredients remain the same.   I was thrilled to receive my very own copy of the book .  Of course, I had to make it up and take some photos to share with you dear ladies. It's simple, quick, and delicious. It's also one of those scrape the bowl clean recipes. It's just this simple. Spicy Can Opener Soup 1 can black beans 1 can Mexican corn with peppers 1 can Rotel type tomatoes w/chiles 1 package of Taco Seasoning Mix and simm...

Just Who is Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage?

I'm a big city girl gone small town girl gone country and finally gone back to small town. I live in southern Missouri between Oz and the Ozarks.  I have four children. My daughters live at home. My twenty-four year old daughter is finishing her master's degree through online university, and my 20 year old daughter goes to Christian college. My sons live on their own nearby. The 22 year old son and my 31 year old sons live nearby. I homeschooled all of my children from the beginning through high school. My eldest son went to high school for a year and a half. I met my Jesus when I was fifteen, and my life has never been the same. I married my high school sweetheart almost thirty-six years ago. We started going steady my senior year of high school. You might say we're going steady permanently. ~smile~ We have a very big yellow tabby cat, Tiger. Think Garfield with a good attitude. He is actually bigger than our little Doxie mix, Penny.   I enjoy writing, knit...
