Peppermint Stripe Scarf

Image
While I was walking through Michael's Arts and Crafts a few weeks ago I saw a skein of Red Heart Shimmer yarn. I had already been seeing visions of a peppermint swirl design in a scarf or a hat. When I saw the Shimmer in red and white I knew I had to make those little balls of shiny goodness into something fun for Christmas! As you can probably tell by the name of this scarf, I had visions of peppermint sticks in mind. I tried a number of ways to make the strips go diagonal, but after starting a few different designs, I decided that vertical strips would be better. I really love the way this came out, so I'm sharing it with you. Supplies: 1 ball Red Heart Shimmer white 1 ball Red Heart Shimmer red H size crochet hook Piece of cardboard or similar item to wrap your yarn to size the fringe Yarn needle Scissors Scarf Body Using the white yarn, ch 252. (I like my scarves really long and this reached about to my knees. You can make it any length you w...

Mental Health Care

Back when I began this experiment with hemp oil, I told you that I was hoping for some help with depression and mental health. Naturally, that kind of treatment takes time to show results. Any psychiatrist will tell you that mental health is a slow change and most prescription drugs show results only after six to eight weeks. Well, it's been about that finally! The good news is that I am seeing results! I was an emotional wreck for most of last autumn (the instigating reasons aren't relevant here). I was working through a LOT of emotional baggage. With a number of unexpected challenges that hit me and my family in quick succession, my depression increased tremendously as my morale decreased. I needed something to help me do the necessary emotional work to get back on an even keel. Q Sciences broad spectrum hemp oil, Q Fuse , is what I've been taking. In my previous posts I have told you how much it's helped with my energy, pain, and brain fog. Now I am comfortable s...

Random thoughts for a not quite Monday morning

So this weekend we went out shopping at the brand new Harris Teeter grocery store in our neck of the woods. Well, it's not that close really. It's several miles away (and by several I mean about 10 or 12). To put it in perspective, we have an IGA a half mile from the house. And a Food Lion two miles from the house. This new HT is way farther. But it's still way closer than any other HT and way bigger than either of the other two. It opened last week and hubby and I decided we just had to give it a try. Overall-I'm impressed. It's one of the ones I used to refer to as a "Taj Ma-Teeter" because it's HUGE. Full produce department, giant deli and more birthday cakes than you can shake a stick at! Note to self-they have cookie cakes there and that's what Connor had wanted for his birthday party. Woohoo! I don't have to drive to the other side of Durham on Friday! We loaded up on groceries. Frozen dinners for those of us who don't like making...
