....from the handiwork journal

 

....new ripple blanket for the living room sofa.  I'm considering 3 colors maybe.  I had to make a trip to the store for this yarn.



....current scarf being crocheted.  I had the yarn downstairs.  I'm not quite halfway done.



. . .daughter E requested these.  She feels they will sell well at the salon.  I luckily had the yarn downstairs, and will possibly make 2-3 more colors depending on what is accessible right now.  These cute nail polish Christmas ornaments will get hangers attached as well.

Happy Homemaker Monday

 We had our last Thanksgiving gathering, and we all laughed and joked about why I didn't have homemade rolls.  I took deviled eggs and cheesy potatoes, and there was not a drop left when we went home.





Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

The weather . . .

42/36°F, and rain mid week.


As I look outside my window . . .

It's cloudy, and looks like rain possibly.


Right now I am . . .

Filling the sink to wash the dishes from yesterday's gathering, loading the washing machine and looking up a recipe for using up the spaghetti squash.


Thinking and pondering. . .

Considering a getaway for our upcoming anniversary. It all depends on the progress of the living room.


How I am feeling . . .

Feeling a bit groggy from the holiday festivity adult drinks from yesterday.


Listening to . . .

The radio.


On the breakfast plate . . .

-leftover sausage/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich with Ezekiel bread.


What I am wearing . . .

T-shirt, pull over sweatshirt, and sweatpants.


On the reading pile . . .

Crochet patterns, and new recipes.


On the TV . . .

Yellowstone.


On the menu . . .

-Sloppy joes/Ezekiel bread, a spaghetti squash side
-Cajun sausage and beans (new crock pot recipe)
-leftovers


Looking around the house . . .

It's the same hot mess.


To-do list . . .

-laundry, wash bedding
-dishes
-make a breakfast
-clean out chicken roosts, and put clean straw in them
-order my husband new joggers
-check emails
-put dinner in the crock pot

From the camera . . .

I have nothing today, but plan to get pictures of current handiwork for tomorrow's post.
