Me Time ~ Finishes

Boy it felt so awesome to not have so much to clean on Monday.  I devoted some more crafting time.  Thanks to one of the girls, I am restocked with new candles too.


Finished this UFO.  I think I had it for a gift but never got around to finishing it.  It'll be in my kitchen now with Valentine's Day coming next month.  It can hang around all year though (I did the cross stitch that is in between the red flower pattern that came on the towel).







Finished the remaining sheet music Christmas Tree ornaments.   I think the blue one needs a silver bow at the top of the snowflake on it.

I have only 4 more UFO's, unless I come across more.  They'll take more time to finish, but I'm on it.

I'm thankful for leftovers tonight.  I used all items from the freezer and pantry, and made us Salmon Romanoff using MI caught Salmon (by my older brother), and a side of organic peas.  I'll dig out another veggie to go with leftover salmon romanoff tonight.

I'm not sure what I'll tackle today, but I'm sure I'll be tidying up or purging something today.  Goals!  Spring will be here before I know it.

I like to make things which we can enjoy for another supper. It frees up time for me to crochet ( aka move my hook ). It's a cold one this morning here in NE Ohio. 29. brr. Enjoy your day. Your towel is pretty. Getting UFO done is a freeing thing isn't it.?
Oh my gosh yes, Faith! I found a baby blanket I started so many years ago, and it was buried in my closet. I will have to list my UFO's soon, so I can keep on track. Stay warm! It's on the chilly side here too.

Such a beautiful towel a wonderful addition. Soup and a sandwich for us today we are at risk of no power due to a storm.

Wow! You are on a roll, Kristina! At this rate, you will be prepared for two Christmases and a couple of craft shows by spring!
mamasmercantile, soup and sandwich actually sounds good.
Susan, ha! Let's hope so. I'm trying to squeeze in crafting time and still purge and organize. I know I will have a ton of work with re-doing my herb garden and rose bed this spring. I'm not looking forward to either, but the outcome will be worth if. I am just trying to get ahead, so I'm not so overwhelmed when I have a good day to work outside. I want to come in, to a tidy and clean house too.

I'm new to cross stitching. Would you tell me how you found the center on yor towel to start your design? It's lovely.
Goatldi said…
Good for you! Are you willing to sell the musical note ornaments?.
Theresa Y, I found the center heart portion of the pattern in a library book - "Our Best 200 Holiday Quickies, by Leisure Arts. And thank you!
Goatldi, yes, $5 each plus shipping. I try to ship flat rate. I have an email on this blog to email me.

It all looks so nice. I especially like the towel. You should get much joy out of having it in your kitchen.
I think I'm turning the corner on this cold thing. The doc said it was a COPD flare up, but the symptoms don't match that. They match a cold or the flu. Anyway, I feel like I'm much better today. Thank God!!!
I pray everyone has a great Wednesday, and a safe one too.
Love you all.
God bless.

Faith, ha ha! I know. I went to bed at 8pm.
RB, so glad to hear you are doing better!

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 . . .
