Happy Lately #5

 

Hello everyone!

     There have been so many happy things in my life lately. From celebrating my grandson's 2nd birthday to reviving some of my use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without cooking and mending skills. I'm well on my way to Kringling Christmas. I'm knitting and sewing this year. 

Two little loaves made it to the freezer.

The zucchini was given to us. 

I'm almost done with my fingerless mitts. 

These adorable little tops!

I found this yarn in my stash. 

I forgot I bought it for apple picking time last year.

LOVE IT!

I fixed my husband's glasses with a needle and nylon thread.

The lense is not going anywhere now!

I finished my Grape Crush Mitts.

I'm knitting the second sock. These are car knitting.

Lots of good things going on. Sometimes we have to look for them.

What is making you happy lately?

Blessings,

Laura

Happy Lately #3

 Hey y'all! 

Here are some things that are making me happy lately.

This magnetic yarn holder is so fun! It spins as I use it.

I'm a water drinker. 

My friend Sarah Coller recommended this on her BookTube channel. 

I love fall, but I got a kick out of knowing the precise minute that fall will arrive!

I reviewed this set of size 8 knitting needles from the brand BsHooker. I was really happy with them. There's no memory in the cord, and the needles are both lightweight and pointy enough to get into stitches without trouble. 

I was hunting for something in my needlework cabinet and unearthed this yarn. My breath caught! I bought this "Picking Apples" yarn last year in anticipation of September knitting then forgot it! I'm anticipating again. I bought it from Tulip Tree Yarn on Etsy. 

Speaking of Tulip Trees, I was speaking to my daughter on the phone recently. She asked if our tulip tree bloomed this year. I'd forgotten to send her a photo. I walked out to the car a few minutes later and we had about five blooms! I don't remember it blooming in July before. I snapped a photo and told her that God did that just for her. ~smile~ I believe he does things to thrill us once in awhile. 

My husband and I went to the coffee shop this week. He worked; I knitted. 

We went for a drive in the country. It's one of our favorite things to do together. 

This is our favorite place! We love to escape the watchful eye of Google!

What is making you happy lately? Where are you finding little sparkles of joy? 

Prayer request:

My friend, Ellen, has cancer. Please pray for her healing, for strength, and for provision. This is my friend who has fought bacterial meningitis twice and cancer once before. God has brought her through before. I'm praying he'll bring her through again. I'm knitting a soft cap for her for summer. Thank you for praying for her. 

Check out my bucket list, my reading list, and my list of things for kids to do. You'll find something fun. 

Be blessed y'all!

Happy Lately #2

Hi y'all! 

Here are some things that are making me happy lately.

Early morning Bible reading on the patio.

I finished my Christmas socks.

I wove in all the zillions of yarn ends on my socks. Finishing made me happy.

This dog bone pillow supports and comforts my neck while riding in our car.

We have a new hummingbird feeder. We moved it under a tree with flower baskets on either side.

I enjoy listening to my Bible.com app morning and night.

What's been making you happy Lately?
