Valentine's Day did not go by without making something special. I whipped up some crocheted hanging hearts, in two different colors. I put them on the bulletin board in Mom's nursing home room. She loves hearts. The quick pattern is on this blogspot: http://threadbarecreations.blogspot.com/2021/01/easy-crochet-heart.html

Happy Homemaker Monday
There's nothing funnier, than my husband walking down the hallway and saying, "Babe? Where are you?" and me popping my head inside the door at 6am. I was outside in my PJ's trying to get a photo of the moon, but my camera was acting up. Maybe it was the operator. The pole light was on and my camera was just not getting the usual detail close up photo.
Bummed I could not get the very close up typical photo, I was back inside sipping hot coffee and stoking the fire. My husband just shook his head side to side and mumbled something, ha ha!Today I am joining Sandra with Happy Homemaker at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
I'll link up when she posts.
The weather . . .
9°F and possible dusting of snow.
How I am feeling this morning . . .
I slept better last night anyway. My husband is home, because he had booked the B & B for us, he has today off (we had to cancel the stay for now).
On the breakfast plate . . .
French toast, blueberry sausages and scrambled eggs. Oh, and lots of coffee.
On my reading pile . . .
On my TV . . .
Movies - St. Vincent, I Want you Back, and The Kindness of Strangers
On the menu this week . . .
-spaghetti, veggie
-chicken with mushroom sauce, veggie
From the camera . . .
Looking around the house . . .
It's a hot mess. We come home from the nursing home, and there is so much to do, that the dishes get left. We have to let the dogs out, stoke the fire, tend the hens, get the mail.....we can't leave the dogs out of their kennels with the wood stove going. There is dog toy fluff all over my house, that Daughter K needs to clean up.
The to-do list . . .
-vacuum
Prayers . . .
Mom.
