Swiffer Thingy

Who would have guessed I would write up a very simple pattern for a swiffer thingy. There are so many out there. So I am sure mine is just like someone Else's. I enjoyed this simple thing. Our whole house is old hard wood floors so these dusty things come in handy.

So here it goes:

Chain 33

Row 1 DC in 4th ch. from hook then DC across. 31 DC

Row 2- 9 Ch3 turn DC across

Now we will be working in the round

Row 10 Chain 1, SC around, Do 2 SC in each corners. all the way around. Join with a slip stitch at end.

Row 11 Chain 1, SC around and do 2 SC in each corner. join with slip stitch.

Row 12 Chain 1 DO 2 SC, SC2Tog, Repeat all the way around. Join with slip stitch.

Row 13 Same as Row 12

Row 14 Sc around join with slip stitch.

Row 15 Same as Row 12

Weave in all ends. Viola!!!! Finished!!!!

I think it needs some flowers. What do you think????



A picture of a picture. My baby Jewel. It is hard to believe she will be 13 this July.

One of my favorite flowers is Tulips, Tulips, Tulips. Have a Great Day!!

Tuesday Tea (pot)

So this is one of my favorite tea pots. So simple. Ya see my grandma used to live in a old post office building and this reminds me of it. The building was so cute. She loved living there.
Okay so I did not plant the tomatoes there.
New blinds for the living room. I always wanted vertical blinds for there. The room stays dark with out them. Now I get a lot more light.
One of my favorite pictures. I reallly LOVE Thomas Kincaid.

I have been crocheting and knitting up a storm. My nerves are a little wound up now. Making a trip to Cleveland Clinic tomorrow. So my fingers are flying. I will have to take pictures of everything .
Have a Great Day!!!

Tuesday Tea

Sea Cottage recently started Tuesday tea. That's were you post a little something about your day or week and have a little tea.

So something about today. I have posted 2 times in one day. Plus I am still in my nightgown. That's sad I know.

This is a little tea pot I have had for a while. Not real fancy but I love the colors.

So now I am going to enjoy some of that delicous banana bread and some hot tea.
Have a Great Day

Banana's and Granny

The House Smells Wonderful. Don't ya just love the smell of fresh baked bread?



I used good ole Betty Crocker's Banana Bread recipe. Plus I added some Chocolate Chips ( 1/2 Bag) and some raisins.
I just love a slice for breakfast. Would you like one???? Plus a cuppa tea???
Check out my granny square blanket i started 1 week ago. I am in love with it. So many colors. I am using alot of my left over yarns. Like Vanna Choice, Lion Brands yarn, Simply Soft, some wool, Cotton ( of Course) . I even threw in some mohair type yarn. Just a great mixture.

This is my older Violet. I have had this one for about 4 years. I really like the varigation in the flowers.

Have A Great Day
