I had scrubby yarn, made for making kitchen scrubby pads. I made a soap scrubby bag, so hubby can put his soap scraps in to get the most use of them. He can use it to scrub with as well.

1 down for 2024
This is my first project done for 2024. Sadly Ive been working off and on this one for more than a year.
This is for my oldest. My yarn bud tried to claim it as hers when I was trying to put it down for a picture. It took alot… a good push to get her butt off it. 😂

Ham, Bean and Potato Soup
I made ham for Christmas day and saved the bone. Yesterday it rained and I wanted soup.
I put the bone 🍖 in a pot of water and simmered for around 6 hours. Skimming the gunk off the top while simmering.
I then filtered the bone and fat pieces out of the broth. I kept on a simmer while adding chopped ham that was leftover, 1 can of navy beans (which was not enough), 1 roughly chopped onion 🧅, 2 large roughly chopped carrots 🥕, gold potatoes 🥔 chopped, few teaspoons minced garlic 🧄 and salt and pepper.
Everything added, except the potatoes and simmered for another hour or two, added the potatoes and cooked for another 30 minutes. Then served.
Below is a link to a recipe similar to what I used.

Bone 🦴 Broth
Since we had turkey for Thanksgiving and a week or two later, I had two carcasses to make bone broth.
Last weekend I used one turkey carcass and made my bone broth. Froze some into cubes and put some in jars in the fridge. I put the cubes in a bag, checked on my jars and it was nice and gelatinous. I used most of that to make more cubes.
Today I started a new batch. Gonna use some for making my stuffing, gravy and mole’ for Christmas. Can hardly wait.

Sourdough bread 🍞
Ive been working on making sourdough starter and then bread.
My first attempt at making bread didn’t work. Found my mixing of ingredients was done wrong. The rolls came out ok, really sourdough-y smelling even after baked.
These loaves came out good. Took more time, mixed the ingredients in the correct way. Took the time for stretch and pulls and rising.
I will look into making some sweet things soon.
Crocheted 🧶 Rose 🥀 Pillow
I crocheted a rose pillow. I had a few hiccups on the way since the creator of the pattern can’t count apparently.
I wasn’t understanding how to do the bottom part, the pillow, so I did my own thing. I gave it to a dear friend of mine.
