OMG - 2024 from Ravelly1

Good grief! Where have I been all this time? Well allow me to attempt to sum it up.....one word comes to mind......L A Z Y !

Yep, I've been extremely lazy, binge watching Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Peacock, Tubi and many more. I'm so ashamed to admit it but it's true. But now I'm sort of back.

I've done no sewing but have picked up a new hobby.......junk journaling, which is a type of scrapbook making. I think I've shown you all this type of thing before but ...... Let me show you ...

Scrapbook Christmas Gift from Ravelly1

I did take a photo of the cover just in case my Secret Pal goes surfing my blog. This is what I've added in the last couple of days. I need to stop because the Junk Book is getting to fat....hehehehehe!

Most of my ideas so far have come from Pat at The Paper Outpost and Natasha at Treasure Books.

Joyce Carter sent me a link to fabric and memories. (Thanks sooooooo much Joyce...this from Mr. Cowboy.....cause I kind of threw you under the bus for giving me the link). I managed to save the link ...

Scrapbook Squirrel from Ravelly1

Hi everyone!! First of all I want to give a big thank you to Pam from The Paper Outpost (she's on YouTube) for introducing me to "Junk Scrapbooking!" Then there's Natasha from Treasure Books (also on YouTube) & Curio By B-Spoke Designs (sorry I've not caught his name & he's on YouTube as well).

Today I was working on 3 cover pages from Natasha.

Here are the 3 sets of items I pulled out to work on. At one point Mr. Cowboy came in needing breakfast.....sign!!!!!!

And then here they are all glued down. I really love ...

Squirrel Continued from Ravelly1

Let's get into it.......

So here's my first doodle attempt....sorry I didn't take a better photo. It's an eye. I'm going to like this "Doodler" design program now that I understand and have practiced. The online facebook group is a fantastic resource when ironing out what to do.

The hankie folding is coming along. I just need to be more precise. The great thing about this process is if you mess up all you need to do is press out the folds and start over!!

Did I mention that I'm now into Junk ...

FYI from Ravelly1

Hi Everyone! First let me tell you that I will try to respond to your comments via on the post comments. I have tried to respond via email but alas......it hasn't worked....sigh. So check back on occasion to view the comment area.

Now to the FYI

These are the gloves I use when handling raw chicken, pork, fish, etc. Why I did about using gloves before Covid.....well it's just one of those Duh moments. Any gloves will do but I like the thickness and less breaking at the fingernail area. Amazon carries these.

Finally, one ...

October 20, 2022 from Ravelly1

Good heavens.......I've not been posting so quite some time. Here's a bit of what I've been doing in not certain order.

My community group hosted a car show. It was so much fun. The white Chevy truck took first place.

I won Best in Show and Go Texan at our County Fair. My quilt will go to Houston sometime in 2023.

Our church did a picnic in the the cemetery which sounds weird but we all had a blast fellowshipping and having lunch.

Look at this beautiful bloom!!

I went out to my jeep one morning ...

Yikes! June Already?! from Ravelly1

So here's what I've been doing since I last posted.

It's been several years since I started my church blocks & finally, I decided on how I wanted to put them all together.

I've obviously chosen the Attic Window look. It took me months to select the fabric for that to happen. I wanted to churches to stand out so I went with gray tones and black. It's not finished yet, but thank goodness I did manage to get this far.

Then I've been working in my flower garden and watching all the beautiful blooms ...

Take A Guess from Ravelly1

First of all.....Happy New Year everyone!

If you guessed a strange tree....you would be incorrect!!

I'm barely able to hold it up so that you can get a better view. Anyone guessed yet?

Ok, I've de-leafed it.....Any guesses?

My cousin Thelma called on New Year's Eve to offer this thing to me. I'd never dealt with this type before and was a bit apprehensive, to say the least. Ok....no more stalling...

This is a very large collard green stock.

Thelma had to talk me through the process of cutting the leaves off ...

A Couple of Things from Ravelly1

The migration of this little guy has started. It's a moth, of course and they are attracted to my garage night lights. This one is frozen in place for the moment because it's 45 degrees this morning......burrrr but not as cold as that icy weather we had the other week.

I have this card from my mom's things. It's my great-uncle's Brotherhood od Sleeping Car Porters. Mom talked about the travels Uncle A.D. and his wife took. I barely remember my uncle and not at all this wife but I will treasure this ...

Spring Has Sprung & I'm So Glad from Ravelly1

Greetings everyone. Wow! I didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted. Warning, this post will be filled with photos of the goings on around the farm and a couple of my favorite commercial videos thrown in.

First, my neighbor sold his old farm house and had it moved about 7 miles away.

Four days of digging, hammering, lifting, dragging & more cussing than I ever want to listen to again.....the house was finally on the truck....however, it was getting dark so the sheriff's deputy get the movers would have to start for the ...

Ice and Snow from Ravelly1

Ok, so I shouldn't have complained the other day.

This time ice came before all the snow.......OMG!!!! See Mr. Cowboy's footsteps in the snow? That's about 7 or 8 inches worth depending on the surface area levelness....is that a word?

Anyway, Mr. Cowboy forbid me to leave the house...whew!!! I am secretly happy about that suggestion. Now to the temperature. Last night it was a -3 degrees with a wind chill factor of -7 so can I say bbbbbbbuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrr!! One of my blogging friends says she lives in Canada.....girlfriend I don't think ...

OMG!!! It's October Already?! from Ravelly1

Hi everyone! I've been missing in action for some time now. Don't ask what I've been up to cause, really, I haven't been doing much of anything except avoiding TV as much as possible. Of course Mr. Cowboy has suggested that I cook more lunch, dinner and snacks during the hay season. I assured him that I'm doing my best in that department....hehehehehehe

Eclectic Me is still around though. Here's my absolute favorite police lip-sync video. I'll tell you why I love it so after the video.

I hope you got some ...
