Here is a start on my posts here, I hope the blog doesn't go defunked anyway. I made this during the winter, I wanted a heavy afghan to use when I crochet. Sometimes I pick a place to sit because of the lighting so it's not always warm where I'm sitting. Here is the result.

I did a lot of crocheting, even though I was kind of sick during the whole month of February and the first of March. Much of what I made was small, and I can't remember what, a lot of it was. I did some felt work as well, not making felt, but sewing with it. I am trying to branch out and make things in different mediums. I am learning calligraphy as well, I am practicing by writing out my favorite recipes to put in a notebook with page protectors so I can use them in the kitchen without ruining the old cookbooks. I learned a lot about the old cookbooks too. I have wondered for years why my baked goods and cooking is flat sometimes. I compared many recipes from the old and new cookbooks and discovered that the problem is they no longer add adequate amounts of salt or other seasonings to bring out the flavor of food. I find that it makes a lot of difference in how much I eat when the food is well seasoned. I eat more of the flat tasting food than of the flavorful food. I guess it a sub conscious attempt to find the flavor.  I have started using the old recipes and find we eat less and enjoy it more, so maybe cutting back on salt does more harm than good. Maybe it would help people eat less and more healthy if the food was good and not just tasteless mush or cardboard. Anyway, I will try to publish more often for those few that actually still read my blog.
