Happy Homemaker Monday

 I have been working up a list, in case I finish the crochet blanket before I can get back upstairs for more yarn.  I am putting off any canning due to the dust in this house (which will end soon I hope).

-journal
-read
-tidy closet (a bit difficult, as boxes of stuff from living room are stacked in there right now)
-finish a crocheted scarf I started (have the yarn for that)
-make nail polish bottle ornaments
-start a new scrap lap afghan

Lumber prices have come down a bit thankfully.  However, we have to return to the hardware store for more supplies.  It's just never ending.



Today I will join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.



The weather . . .

45/24°F, we may possibly hit the mid 50's this week.


As I look outside my window . . .

The wind tapered off.  


Right now I am . . .

Brewing another pot of coffee.


Thinking and pondering . . .

Not sure if the two of us are making anything special for a Thanksgiving meal yet.  The kids will not be around, and well, no other plans.


How I am feeling . . .

Cold.  I cannot wait to fire up the wood stove.  I am losing my patience with this living room job.


Listening to . . .

The radio, rock, some country


On the breakfast plate . . .

Leftover butternut squash breakfast casserole.


What I am wearing . . .

Jammies, robe, slippers


On my reading pile . . .

Most of my books are buried on a shelf in my office, so today I plan to seek out any stray books I may have elsewhere.


On my TV . . .

Mystery Channel


On the menu . . .

-crockpot pork chops, crockpot sweet potatoes
-not sure on the rest just yet

Looking around the house . . .

It's the same ol' mess of everything shoved in all places.  I literally run into stuff, bump into it, or trip on it.  Sigh....


To-Do list . . .

-mail in rebate
-wash dishes
-catch up any laundry
-make chapstick (still on the list, sigh)
-make travel soaps (still on the list)
-write out shopping list
-make homemade hot cocoa mix
-have no idea....it's so frustrating with the floor repair going on


From the camera . . .

I have nothing right now.


Devotional . . .

Still buried in the office..,..

  3. You have plenty to do without a to do list. I am thankful that you have been patient through all of the renovations. I am sure it is frustrating, but in the end it will all be worth it.

  5. I am curious about your crochet scarf. Did you crochet this week? And did you make chocolate milk? I wonder how the rest of your week was. Greetings from my house to yours.

  6. Arieth, I did get some crochet time in. I worked on the scarf and a few Christmas ornaments, but did not finish the scarf yet. I will be making the hot cocoa this weekend. Thanks.
