So I repurposed some mini clothespins from the wedding and found a way to sort through it all! The little scraps ended up on the little pins, and the bigger pieces are on the medium size pins. They look so cute in the little glass jar.
In other news, I went to visit my sister in New Jersey and we went apple picking! I love picking the apples fresh from the trees and then coming home and making something yummy out of them. This batch I made into homemade applesauce in preparation for getting my wisdom teeth out yesterday.
I've made applesauce a few times before, but this is by far the best batch I've made. It's so sweet and tangy and the same time, with just the right amount of cinnamon. I only wish I had made more!
These apples are just for eating - too tart for applesauce.
Amidst all of this, I've made significant progress on my baby blanket. It's just about halfway! I think I will be able to make my Nov 30 deadline with ease.
And I made socks! I've always wanted to try to make socks, and I found a relatively simple pattern and got to work! The only thing I don't like about crochet socks is that they take a long time to make...But I really like the finished product. I might have to buy some more sock yarn and make some more. Christmas presents perhaps?
What have you been up to in October?
