Five on Friday

By -
 Lovemademyhome's blog invites us to Five on Friday. 
Thanks Amy!  

1.  I love my new Duluth Trading company bag.
I'm very hard on bags/ purses..
It needed something feminine about it, so I crocheted a flower. 
I'll probably make another, this was practice. 
I like the look....what do you think?
2. Time to think even more about heart health.
My father has heart disease and had CABG 
20 years ago.  Ah genetics, sometimes they stink.
Time to up the efforts here at my house.
Cholesterol levels are increasing...
what's your favorite heart healthy snack?

3. I'm finishing my latest Trap scarf.
OH Trap, How I love thee.

4. My little sister, Patti Ann, has begun to crochet. 
I want to encourage her in every way! 
I crocheted before I knit. 
I'm going to send her a care package -
Do you have a favorite crochet pattern to share with her? 
She's a beginner..

5.  Fifth and final for Friday:
FREE 
I have no plans for today.
I am FREE to stay in on this brutally cold winter day.
Yeah!

I like the knitted heart! By far my favorite healthy snack is a Quest bar cut in half, pressed into a muffin cup and baked for about 5 minutes at 350 until crisp, then filled with vanilla Greek yogurt. YUM!

Stay warm. It is even snowing in Fort Worth today.

Hi I think the heart is lovely too. I find the days that I have nothing planned to do often turn out to be my most productive. Grapes are my favourite healthy snack, I always keep them in the fridge for when I am tempted, they are just sweet enough too. Have a lovely weekend x

You got to stay home today? Lucky you!
I love that knitted heart. Heart disease runs through my family so it's never far from my mind. The only snack bar I'll touch are Kind bars.

Isn't Duluth Trading Company the best! Good products, prices, and service.

Heart issues run in my family, too. It's difficult to run from genetics.

I fill up on air popped corn with a spray of olive oil. I make a big bowl and nibble on it all day to keep the munchies at bay.
I am a beginning crocheter also and I find lots of easy projects and tutorials over on Attic 24.
Days that I don't have to get in a car are my favorite days.

Sorry to be late stopping by. Five good things for sure!! Your link wasn't working to start with, so I sorted it out, but I will do a tutorial if I can next week on how to link as some people have had trouble, so you might like to have a look. Thank you so much for taking part, I hope you will join in again. Hope you are having a great weekend. xx

I keep forgetting about UVA's Red campaign (heart health). My father died of sudden cardiac death, and I have to presume my mother did as well, even though Deliverance's ME didn't list a cause of death, and that's legal in that state...

I love Kind bars, fruit, carrots, homemade smoothies...

I have some crochet dish cloth patterns in my Ravelry projects that were easy.

These are very nice five things. I've recently made a crocheted pit holder. It's all in double crochets and would be good for a beginner. The pattern is Kat Goldin's. X

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
