Making





With the last few days being rainy and raw, I have been busy making - crocheting water bottle covers, knitting gnomes and dolls and mixing up laundry detergent and bugs spray.


What have you been making lately?

Warm wishes,
Tonya

  1. Tonya, would you mind sharing your bug spray recipe? We have been using cedar oil, but I would love to try something else. With the warm winter we had the bugs down here have been just terrible.

    1. Hi Tracey,
      I am going to be writing up a post on the bug spray in the next couple of days.
      Thanks so much, Tonya

  2. My 3yr old sister loves her gnome that I made her from your pattern! She asks me every time I pull out my needles if I'm going to make her another. :)

    Have a beautiful week!

  4. Tonya, I love "Make Your Place!"
    Other than the gardens, I've been making summer clothing, pillowcases, and I have a list of household things to do: a new shower curtain, wipes, and potholders.

  6. Love it all! :)

    I just made a new batch of laundry soap and it's being put to good use. I also just finished knitting a baby sweater...and am now working on the matching hat! :)

  7. I have been making our new home 'homely', we are finally unpacked and are starting to feel more comfortable here - things are settling into a rhythm. Made some delicious artichoke fritters for lunch and am halfway through knitting my little katie a horse for her third birthday next week (must get on with it!!) Must try to make my own laundry powder xx

  9. I'm also curious about the bug spray. We usually use lavender and/or lemongrass oil.

    I'm making larabars, salt scrub, and bath salts for a birthday gift. And working on finishing up a boy's b-day sweater as well.

  12. Such sweet little knit toys!

    I love that little book. I'll have to check out the bug spray recipe. It is coming on that time isn't it?...

  13. Sounds wonderful! I've been making tiny NB diapers for this little one I'm making in my womb. :) I really need to make my son the requested waldorf doll for his birthday, but it seems Spring has taken off with us and we are running to keep up with all the activity. So, I'm hoping for a breather soon so I can get busy on that doll, and then get back to tiny baby sewing. :)
