The hot pepper seeds have arrived, and are now started in seed trays. I am still waiting on my carrot seeds (back ordered for some reason). I have limited space to start seeds, hence why I have asked for a greenhouse in the future, but these two are new to the garden. The Datil are similar to a habanero, but more of a "sweet" taste, according to my research. Seeds for Datil were sent free too.
Replacement part has been ordered for our stove. I will update on that once we see if that was the issue. My husband almost burned down the stove Sunday at breakfast. He forgot and used the burner. I have removed the knob, so neither of us use that burner until the part arrives.
I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom today.I will link up when she posts.
The weather . . .
Warmer that usual, and possibly in the lower 60's mid-week (crazy).
As I look outside my window . . .
It's still pitch dark.
Right now I am . . .
Sipping coffee, deciding on what to bake for breakfast today.
Thinking and pondering . . .
Trying to find a way to sell off my crochet/knit, craft inventory. I have more than I thought. I have 16 sets of crocheted pot holder sets alone. I am just trying to make more room upstairs.
On my bedside table . . .
I cleaned it off! Just my clock, photos, water and throat lozenges (yeah, still dealing with that).
On my TV . . .

Nothing this week.
On the To-Do List. . .

-laundry
-make a breakfast, do dishes
-clean roosts
-run dishwasher
-work on another box of paperwork left from last room move
-make a phone call (if my voice is up to it)
-pay bills
Plans for this week . . .
Start cleaning up the mess we left in the hallway downstairs. The shoe/boot pile has a mess of tools, gloves and what not. It's been driving me nuts. If successful, I may be painting trim in that hallway. Plant Swiss Chard indoors.
What I am sewing, knitting, crocheting or creating. . .
I was cleaning clutter, and got distracted by leftover balls of yarn. There is a pile of it at the base of the stairs to go back up now. Any, I sat at the computer and whipped up one of these. I have no idea why, other than I was curious and it was over loaded cuteness!
I noticed that when I sew in the first black line, then go over to start a second (up and down), you can see the black yarn behind it. I may work up another and work on hiding more of that, but they turn out super cute just using what ever worsted weight yarn I had (her suggestion of yarn does look better). I used a smaller hook for the hearts. The link again for the pattern is: HERE.
Yes, I got distracted, but it was a nice break. I got back to work, and then later found more unfinished projects.
I worked a bit on this scarf, while my blanket continued to air dry (see story on that in Saturday's post, ha ha!). To stay on task, I have a dedicated bin for "unfinished" projects. I am working on balancing declutter, repairs, renovations etc with crochet time.
My simple pleasure . . .
I'm stumped on this one today. Maybe I need more coffee to think this morning, ha ha!
I got one now....going to the library for random books. I have not been to the library since Feb. 2020.
Looking around the house . . .
I had good intentions on clearing another area of the house, but we sort of took a break from stuff on Sunday.
From the camera. . .
I finally looked over my items I brought back home from the museum gift shop. It's no wonder nothing was selling this year. They marked up the prices way too high. Sigh.

Continued prayers for our friend Hope and her family, as she lost her husband.
