Hot Water Bottle Cover from An Old Sweater

Start looking for old sweaters at rummage sales, thrift shops, garage sales, etc. to make covers for your hot water bottle. These would make great gifts for all the people in your life that you want to be nice and warm and cozy when they tuck into bed at night this winter. This one looks so easy...no pattern required. No zippers or buttons or buttonholes either. Nice.

Rainy Day At The Cottage

I'm not complaining about the rain because we really need it. I weeded in it yesterday and got soaked to the skin but it was fun. Webster whinned until I let him go indoors - he doesn't like to be wet. I'm putting everything in the garden to bed for fall. I know it's early but in pulling up the crabgrass, I've managed to pull up everything around it too. Now I'm down to bare earth. I think I should order a load of woodchips so I won't have mud in the house. Just letting you all know that progress has been made around here. Have a great week.

Daffodils in Green Vase

I found this green vase under the sink of my cottage when I bought it in 2001. I use it to be reminded of the original owner since I'm only the second one.
