Crochet Me Crazy

My sister brought me some sausage, fish, and a ham chunk when she was visiting. Thank you, Carol. (Thanks to Nancy, too, for the Tom's toothpaste and clothes for Alison -- she's still working on trying those on, by the way) I saw the ham has a split in it and would end up freezer burned so I thawed it and chopped up the entire thing into pieces. I made some smaller bags to use in scrambled eggs and some bags with 2 cup servings to use in recipes. I will easily get several meals out of that. I have never bought one before but this will help me to decide if it will be worth it to spend the money on this to have easy meals. Now, I have to start searching for more recipes which use ham. I have found one to add to my meal plan to try so far...can't remember what it is but I have it somewhere! Also, the oneroastvegetable.com website that I posted earlier has a recipe for "freezer quiche" which uses ham. I'll have to try that for one of my late home nights after dance class.

We made the dreaded trip to our storage unit this evening. I had to bring the boxes of my mother's stuff over so I could stop moving them all over the RV so we can get around. I can't take it anymore so I brought back 4 boxes of yarn and 3 of the super giant ziploc bags of yarn! I have been frustrated not having it. It turns out I have about 8 more boxes of yarn in storage. I wanted to get more but we at least moved it so that I can get to it in the storage now. What did I do with all this yarn you ask? Well, I moved all the blankets that were under my bed....Now, I'm back in business! LOL



The three big zip-loc bags are under the RV storage but at least I can see what's in the bags at a glance. Yay! Most of this is just my Caron Simply Soft which is one of my favorite yarns. I'm switching to I Love This Yarn brand from Hobby Lobby now though because Simply Soft went up in price. They are going to lose a lot of business from me over that move as you can see. This is not even half of my yarn in this picture.

I will finish the project that I have started before I delve into this yarn. But on second thought, I have started a baby dress with some scratchy, ugly old yarn from the thrift store simply because it was all I had. I'm thinking of ripping it out and starting over with some of this yarn. It will be a much prettier product if I use some of this. I'm also working on a dance shrug for Alison.

Alison didn't get to work with Princess today but she spent time with her show goat instead. He's getting a little less wild although he's still quite skittish.
