Pioneer Woman at Heart

  . . .crocheted 4 dishcloths and they all sold. . . .crocheted some soup bowl cozies.  I had a special request. . . .have gotten this far with one daughter's cardigan for Christmas. The SM are marking the spots for the pockets. . . .got 2 more jar openers made. (sorry no photo for some odd reason) . . .got a few more dish scrubbies made . . .started back on the "f" bombs . . .got infusible web onto scrap fabric and traced.  Just have to cut them out and put them on the cards.  I used old greeting cards to make my templates. My Aunt always wrote to me.  One thing she always reminded me, was "always take 5 minutes for yourself."  I did that yesterday.  The day still went too fast, but I got some handiwork done (not all of this was done in one day, ha ha!  I've been wanting to post for a while, but had zero free time).

Although, it's super convenient to use potatoes of some sort in a breakfast casserole, this one was delicious.  I have been trying to limit the carbs, sugar/starch etc. lately.  It makes a 9 x 13, but you can cut the recipe in half for a smaller family.  I cooked sausage vs. buying pre-cooked, and of course organic.  The recipe is online at Pretty Providence, and the recipe is called "Best Breakfast Casserole."  Although I can't say it's the best of any casserole I've made, it is very good. To relax yesterday, I made more of the jar openers.  They are becoming popular.  I have two more pending orders.  One wants 4 of them and another wants at least 2.  I think I will make one for the camper for us too. I am waiting to see if I can get 16-20 bell peppers ripe all at the same time to stuff.  I may have to do it in half batches this year.  I had to dig and dig for Mama Pea's recipe for stuffed peppers.  We haven...

Well, we made it through the funeral for the best friend.  Rough, rough week I tell ya'.   We have arranged a drive thru graduation gift drop off for our youngest (since we canceled her grad/prom party).  We asked her first and she loved the idea. My new project!  Jar Gripper/Jar Opener.  I'll be making more and getting them up for sale soon.  It's about 6 x 7 inches. I caught the raccoon.  I have a bad feeling there are more so the trap is re-set.  Sigh. Our favorite organic coffee beans have been swapped with something else.  We just brewed a bag and it tastes horrible. I guess we switch coffee now (after years of buying it).  Blech. It's back to watering the garden again.  No news there. I have been trying to catch up on laundry, but I keep forgetting I have it in the washer.  My mind is just all over the place lately.
