preparing for winter

Back to blogging! I've been busy for a while doing things like crochet, canning, sewing Halloween costumes,sewing baby booties, super Saturday,and learning about libraries,How to organize and put books in the proper order. Learning things I never really knew. It has been nice doing volunteer work in a school library. Can you imagine how hard it is to keep a library organized. With all those small children just learning how to use the library moving books here and there. It has been a challenge for me to try to keep up It's a big job.But I enjoy it.

I have crocheted two hats, I followed the
pattern off of the t.v. program Knit and
Crochet today, They said that this particular pattern was popular in New York right now ,and it was a very simple pattern, so I gave it a try. The first hats sections are straight up and down, but when I started the second hat, it started with a twist, and it turned out really cute too.
I've also been canning Apple pie filling, a recipe I obtained from the web. Some of the recipes I have found out for my self have to be tested first because something has been left out. oh well that's OK.
The booties I made were out of old wool skirts, then I lined them with a flannel print.I was hoping that I would be able to help with some Halloween costumes this year , I have made so many in the past years for my grandchildren but this year they decided to buy their own. I did get to sew up one hoodie for a Darth Vader costume and a pinafore for a clown suit. I'm glad that I can help others, by doing this I have been blessed greatly.I'm Thankful for the gifts that I have been given. And most of all I am Thankful for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,And for the Atonement of Jesus Christ,For because of these great blessings, I have become a better person.
