School Time

Hello everyone, I am now at school and playing on a computer. Why not? Practically everyone here does it.
Stormcrowe last evening sprung another leak. It was just like the last one he had a few days ago. The Doctors do not seem too worried about it. I just hope they are right about this one. Stormcrowe still even wanted to come to school today for his own classes. The will power that man has. I just wish I had an ounce of it. I do believe it would be well worth it. Enough about this.

Everyone out in blog land doing ok. I do hope so. The weather here does not know to be either cold or too blooming warm for winter. The systems here are just plain messed up.

Well it is about time for this dear person to go off to class. Nice talkin' to all of you and hope to be back soon.

Peace and Good Will to All
The Mrs.

Hello World It's me The Mrs.


Hello to one and all.

I thought I would tell all out there of a very easy leg warmer pattern. Here goes.
Chain 62 stitches with a Size L hook. Crochet hook that is.
Single Crochet in the first 20 stitches, in the next 20 stitches double crochet, and the last of the row triple crochet. Chain one and then turn. For the next 3 rows single crochet in the each stitch across. Chain one and then turn. The next row after doing this go back to the single crochet for twenty stitches, double crochet for 2o stitches and then the triple crochet for the rest of the row.

Do this set up for 8 times , one row of the twenty stitches of the 3 stitches with 3 rows of the single crochet stitches. Then whip stitch the piece together so it looks like a round circle this goes up to approximately midpoint between the knee and hip. Or bunch it down like most people do from ankle to knee. these are warm and can be made in any solid weight yarn there is. Sorry none of the fun fur or anything of that nature. I will have Stormcrowe make a picture of these for you and put them out so everyone can see them. The wider area is higher on the leg and the smaller area is of course the ankle.

Will talk more with all of you soon. Will be going back to school soon and trying to get everything thing back in order before then. I wish all of the best of new year and good wishes to each and everyone of you.

Peg, Maynard is loved over in the Phillipines. Our nephew JM likes them a lot.

Peace and Good Will to all of you

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

Hello to one and all. I have been away for a bit because of getting ready for Christmas and sleeping alot lately. The latter is because of just being lazy.

Stormcrowe I understand told all of ya about the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip granola that I made. Yes, it is sugar free and very low in the fat department.

The Chocolate Chips are Carob pieces about 3/4 of a cup. More if you like more.
No flour here. If you have a food processor grind up 2 cups of Oatmeal. This makes up a flour type of item but is not flour. If no food processor, just get Oat flour. Health food department in most groceries have it. If not, the nearest health food type of grocery. Next 3/4 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar type of mix and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. If can not find the Splenda Brown Sugar, Sweet and low makes the stuff also. Mix all dry ingredients together.
Next comes 2 eggs beaten when put into the mix after combining 2 sticks or 1/2 cup of butter (the extent of the fat) If want also can put a bit of peanut butter in it. Not alot because it can make the mix runny. After all of this is put together put in at least 1 cup of Regular Oatmeal, none of the quick cooking stuff ok. Bake all of this for 9-12 minutes depending on ovens at 350 degrees. At least until the bottoms are brown The granola will seem a little soft at first but does firm up. Hope you like it. This makes around 4 dozen cookie type of pieces.

I hope everyones Christmas and New Year's was as good as mine. I wish all of you a good new year and may it be as great as mine will be.

Peace and Good will to all of you

Stormcowe's ride



I just witnessed one of the silliest things on earth. Stormcrowe is out riding his bike in 18 degree weather. That is sure plain silliness. I will post pictures when I get home. This is the plan I am gonna to make sugar free cookies tomorrow and hopefully some of them will still be around when we go north for the holiday.

I will get the pictures to you, later this afternoon.

I want to wish all the Best of Holiday's and happiness this coming year.

Yarn and Coathanger Christmas Trees!


Hi there to everyone. The Mrs. The pattern mentioned in the title that is so easy, even a man can do it. (Just joking there fellas.) I have proof of this. Stormcrowe made the Christmas tree base for me.

All pictures for this will be in the post below.
1. Find a piece of cardboard and make it any size you want as long it is under 4" by 6".
2. Find the yarn you would want your tree to look like. (There is no guarentee that it has to green ok.) Any color that is wanted.
3. Wind around the cardboard how many loops you would like your ball to have. The amount of loops is also up to you. Do not cut the loops slide off the cardboard and tie a very tight loop with a few knots around the loops. This is then tied to the Triangle Christmas tree base. Stuff the base as with as many loops you want. Put a star on top.
4. The Christmas is 2 metal coat hangers bent into the shape of triangles and interlaced crossed and wired together. Plastic wire ties would also work to lash the tree together, also.
5. Then off you go to see what type of crafted Christmas tree you can make.

Peace and good will to all. The Mrs.
Pictures of this project in the next post later this same day. Stormcrowe will be doing this for me. I know it is early Merry Christmas to everyone.
