Friday's Finish and One Liners



I finished the purple baby blanket.  I thought I only had one row of diamonds to crochet, but had 2 rows.


 Thank you so much Susan for helping me find the yarn.  It'll be priced for sale today (hopefully).
Current library loot.


Current burrito fillers - pinto beans with onion, millet with swiss chard and green onion, and homemade sausage (and eggs of course).

Rain returned, and I used my dryer for the very first time since last winter.


 Deep clean project completed - night stand.
Possible winter time project for me.

Said good-bye to a few magazines.
Cute idea for a large Thanksgiving gathering.

 Why no one is allowed over that is a tiny bit sick (one of 5 bills so far from last illness).

My goodness what a large amount to pay for a medical bill. That in itself would make me ill. Love the idea for cutlery holders, a nice way to be thankful.

Love that baby blanket and the color is gorgeous...I'm not even a purple gal but that shade is really pretty especially with the white edging. Where do you sell them and how do you figure out how much to charge?
Good for you! I got my dryer fixed and it has really freed up my time to get other things done around here. I finally realized I can't get my priorities done if I spend all my time doing things that my machinery or other tools could do for me or at least make it easier on me. YOur books all look interesting.

mamasmercantile, it is a large bill, but not nearly as large as the ones I received from winter of 2016. I'm still paying them. Ugh. The medical world today is making billions off sick people. And we have insurance too.

Thanks Sam I Am, I am still trying to price the blanket yet today. The last one I sold went for $75.00. Labor can make the price too high, and most won't buy. I sell at the Farmer's Market (this year we didn't so I am saving up for next season), but this year I'm opening an Etsy store unless I can find a consignment store locally. Yeah, it was due time to remove some lint from my laundry, so all went into the dryer. It was the first time in a year, but I'm back to using the clothesline again. The sun came out after two dreary, rainy days.

Oh gosh those hospital bills are crazy. I'm happy for medicare here, but still, the services generally suck.

Rain, I had to listen to my daughter complain about her dental bills, so I showed her that one single bill I got. Yeah, the cost is ruining the budget.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
