Adventures in knitting a heart shaped dishcloth

Oh my, I got a beautiful book on knitting dishcloths. I usually just crochet them but I wanted to make some that are pretty with a little design, so this book has 14 patterns with all different hearts. I started this probably 6 times so far and have to keep ripping it out, I either miss a stitch, drop a stitch, or the dog runs off with it, uggh! I don't think it is meant for me to make this dishcloth!!!! We will keep trying, maybe when it's done it will be a triangle and not a heart, ha ha!! Got on etsy today and ordered some new supplies, japanese fabric that is so adorable, cannot wait to receive the package. I am trying to whip up alot of different little goodies so that I can start my own shop on etsy. Wish me luck!!

Saanen goats are driving me crazy

Well I thought that I would be extra nice and loving to my little family of goats and take them up on the high mountain for a little fresh air, some nice bark, briars and weeds. Oh my, got one out of the goat pasture and he was about to beat me up, he went flying by me and pushed the lid off of the chicken barrel where the chicken feed is and he helped hisself, just a guzzling. So I went back to get Dora and it was like a train coming, she knocked me over and went to get the chicken feed as well. Little Frodo was standing in the doorway of the goat barn just as sweet as could be, he just didn't understand why his parents were being so bad. Ha, ha!

Another day on the homestead

Up early today with lots of things to do, clean the ole house, bake some bread, yummy! Finally found a great recipe for the bread, I don't like whole wheat, it is too strong so I found a white wheat flour, unbleached, and I followed the recipe on the bag, it turned out great. I had no trouble at all with the yeast, which in the past has been very intimidating for me. The bread was great.
I am trying really hard to get enough courage to start a shop of my own on Etsy, I love to craft and I am interested in just about everything, it takes alot of thought and planning! So wish me luck and blessed day to all those fellow house wives out there, stay out of the heat!
Gotta take the nanny goats up on the mountain today to get some good exercise and to eat some bark, ha ha they love bark and briars. While they do that I will pick some blackberries for a pie!!!
