Day 212 of 2025

The answer to yesterday's question, what is it?, is pee pee teepees. 

I made a whole stack of them

 as they come in handy for diaper changes of newborn boys. 

Those with boys will know what I'm talking about.

Say hello to our newest, GB#6.

 

Day 211 of 2025

I made it to my sewing  machine for a little bit today. 

I made this little thing. 

I also finished the stack under the scissors. 

Do you know what they are? 

What is it? 

Answer quickly as I may give you the answer tomorrow.

 

Day 55 of 2025

Old toys. 

We have lots more of these. 

They  are about 2 1/2" tall. 

They each came with their own sleeping bag. 

Do you know what they are? Did you have any? 

What is it?

 

Day 35 of 2025

Tonight's amazing sky.

Also, this What is it? was indeed one of the charts generated 

when photos of my retina are taken at each visit to the retina specialist. 

The red/orange spots are not a good sign. 

Treatment was necessary. 

You're on a roll, Joanne.

 

Day 27 of 2025

It is very hard to take a nice clear picture of a computer screen. 

This is the best I could do. 

The big question is do you know what this is? 

So let's play What is it?

 

Day 323 of 2024

Carpet installation is complete. 

Thank you, Bridget, for the reminder to reveal What is it? 

Yes, it was beef stew. 

I combined the ingredients of two different recipes I found on Pinterest,

 and after browning the meat and sautéing the onion and garlic, 

I cooked it in the Instant Pot. 

It was really good and it made an excellent meal, 

leftover lunch and another dinner. 

Unfortunately, I never got a picture of it.

 

Day 317 of 2024

This is the only picture I took today. 

It's the grocery list for the ingredients I did not already have

 in the house for tonight's meal. 

Let's make this a what is it? 

What am I making for dinner?

Day 272 of 2024

What is it?

I am working through everything in my closet and my dresser. 

I came across a bin which contained some long forgotten jewelry.

 My unexpected job was silver polishing. 

I find it easier to put the cloth across my leg 

and rub the silver piece across the cloth 

rather than trying to rub the cloth on the small pieces. 

It creates quite a mess on my hand, 

but it is quite an effective method and washes off easily.

 

Day 269 of 2024

I worked on an unplanned job today. 

What is it?

 

Day 93 of 2024

It's time to go home, but first I have a couple updates for you. 

The two bags I made before our travels made it here with us

 and were given to Little E and L. 

They are meant to be used as dice bags which is what they will do. 

Because there are mesh divided pockets inside 

they could also be used for jewelry as was guessed on the What is it? post.

My goal of making the crocheted Wednesday doll did not happen. 

No matter what light I tried to work in, including bright daylight, 

it was impossible to see my stitches when working with the black yarn. 

I stopped my efforts and brought all the pieces with me. 

I offered it to Little E to make if she wished. 

She took up the challenge and finished it just after we departed. 

GB#1 was delighted to find that the figure was actually for her.

Day 75 of 2024

I've been working on some little gifts. 

I'm very happy to be finishing some things ahead of time. 

Does anyone want to guess what these will be used for? 

What is it?

 

Day 247 of 2022

I'm making a couple things. 

Do you know what they are? Have you made one before? 

What is it?

 

Day 241 of 2022

I opened my very large box today 

and it is indeed a 30 yard roll of 96" wide batting.

 

Day 238 of 2022

I received a package today that I'm pretty happy about. 

The box and I are both standing on the floor, 

and yes, I am wearing my new sweater again.

Any guesses? What is it?

And while we're on the subject of questions, 

here is the answer to the question posed here. 

(Thanks, Scott, for the reminder)

Fireball and I went to Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, IN 

for the Josh Groban concert. 

It was amazing.

 

Day 119 of 2022

Fireball and I are doing something tomorrow. 

This fabric is a clue. 

Any guesses? 

What are we doing? 

What does this fabric have to do with it? 

So, let's play "what is it?"

Guesses welcome.

 

Day 256 of 2021

Today I'm planning a couple new builds. 

Since I took this photo, I think I've figured out dimensions 

so lumber shopping is on the to do list for tomorrow. 

And for those who are still wondering, 

I got no correct guesses as to what the new zipper bag is going to hold. 

So what is it?

It is a zipper bag for a cribbage board and pegs for T-bone. 

There is probably room inside to keep the deck of cards too if he wants. 

Thanks for playing along.

 

Day 250 of 2021

Hey, I made a thing. 

What is it? 

Yes, we all can see that it's a zipper pouch, but what is its purpose? 

What is it?

 

Day 168 of 2021

Fresh out of the rags this morning, GB#2 is a happy girl. 

She styled it a couple different ways 

but settled on just letting the curls hang down most of the day. 

I am surprised that they didn't relax much for as straight as her hair is naturally. 

We'll see what it looks like tomorrow after sleeping on it and 

deciding how to style it. 

I've posted more photos on More Curiously.

The rags were torn years ago from sheets that were a wedding gift, 

but no longer useable as sheets.

 

Day 167 of 2021

This is GB#2. 

Does anyone know what is going on here? 

I know that M and Little E definitely know. 

What is it?

 

Day 131 of 2021

Fireball got me two books for Mother's Day. 

I read this one tonight. 

It was great. 

Do you know what book this is? What is it?
