The Mayberry Home Journal: Red Neck Soda Can Ornaments { A Tutorial }
http://themayberryhomejournal.blogspot.com/2013/12/red-neck-soda-can-ornaments-tutorial.html
Monday, December 2, 2013. Red Neck Soda Can Ornaments { A Tutorial }. I just love homemade Christmas ornaments, each one seems to have a story behind it. Either a memory from a past Christmas, or the person who made it, or the little toddler who proudly stamped his hand or finger into a humble dough shape and mailed his grandparents. Homemade ornaments in our home are also where we like to use up bits and pieces of craft supplies, or in this case, our household recycling. After rinsing out your can, usin...

The Mayberry Home Journal: Yarn Along {From Where You Were Plucked}
http://themayberryhomejournal.blogspot.com/2014/10/yarn-along-from-where-you-were-plucked.html
Tuesday, October 7, 2014. Yarn Along {From Where You Were Plucked}. I have this really silly notion, and I'm not sure where exactly it stems from, that I'm not ready to have a baby until I have a hat with a knot in the top. It's like this nesting-for-a-newborn thing that just *has to happen*. I just love that these little hats look like the baby has been freshly picked, no, CHOSEN, off of a magical baby tree somewhere. That little knot just screams "I'm a brand spankin' new little person! Round this time...

Monday, September 29, 2014. Sunday Knitting {Knitting in Church, and Why I do it}. On Sunday afternoons over the last couple of months, I've been posting my #KnittingInChurch projects on my. I've received a few questions from people (both online and off) as to. I knit in church, or other places where it might seem out of the ordinary, or a social faux pas. And also, how I justify or feel comfortable doing it while others might not. Knitting is my rosary. As an adult, concentration, for me, is still a str...

Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Yarn Along {these boots were made for walkin'.}. Http:/ www.ravelry.com/projects/Corrabelle/rolled-cuff-baby-booties. I've been quickly knitting up some last minute things for the baby to distract myself from discomfort and to keep from going stir crazy. I realized that I hadn't made any booties yet. We have lots of tiny shoes from previous babies but it dawned on me that this baby should maybe have shoes of her very own. Links to this post. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Becau...

Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Yarn Along {Christmas Pressure Is On! Back in late spring when I started working on Christmas gifts, I have to admit that despite recognizing that the decision was quite practical, I did feel a tiny bit silly. Christmas was a long way off and my tomatoes were hardly anything more than stubby plants with a few blossoms. I thought it would be wise to get a head start. I'm glad I did, because we're down to the wire here and i'm still plugging away. And at a slower pace,. I had t...

The Mayberry Home Journal: Knitting {in Church}
http://themayberryhomejournal.blogspot.com/2014/10/knitting-in-church.html
Tuesday, October 7, 2014. For this week's portable/church project, I decided to cast on a quick little hat for one of my nephew's Christmas presents. I plan on making it look like a really goofy monster (because, well, he is) and seaming the top with a kitchener stitch rather than typical hat decreases. I love projects where I get to use up leftover yarn, and kid projects are perfect for that. It's gone really fast and I'm just about finished. 2 Peter 1:3-11, Message download.

The Mayberry Home Journal: Yarn Along {Welcome Baby Abilene}
http://themayberryhomejournal.blogspot.com/2014/11/yarn-along-welcome-baby-abilene.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Yarn Along {Welcome Baby Abilene}. I've been gone a little while because our tiny bundle has finally arrived! Abilene Cecilia Belle (We're calling her Billie for short) arrived at 1:34 pm on November 1st. She's been, by far, our best "sleeper" ever, and is looking a lot like her big brother Zeke and her big sister Lotte.(who is smitten, but a touch jealous of all the attention. We're fully confident that she'll recover sooner or later.). Hat: From Where You Were Plucked.

Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Yarn Along {christmas hats}. Sometime mid-summer, I decided that every kid i'm knitting a gift for this Christmas is getting a hat. I'm not entirely sure why, it just seemed practical and seemed like something I could without having to be too careful about measurements. Hats can fit in a multitude of ways and still look right, so it seemed like a no brainer. But now.I'm tired of hats. This is where my non-family-but-may-as-well-be-family "nieces" and "nephews" come into play.

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. I'm happy to say that this week I finished Lotte's little. She seemed to know it was hers right away when she crawled on to it and laid her head down, and gently pat the rug with her chubby hands. I wanted to show you all some close ups of some of the feed sack fabrics that revealed themselves one print at a time as I made my way through each ball. I really fell in love with the reds and blues.and especially when the ended up together. I finally started my. Hello, My Name is Cor...
