I went to our small town post office last weekend to mail a package to a friend. There was a hand written note on the door that they were closed "due to staffing issues." How is this happening? Anyway, we didn't get mail delivered either.
Finished! A 17th set of pot holders ha ha! I had to finish them, so that is done, but I won't be starting a new set any time soon. Hopefully I will sell them next month, and I do have to deliver a set soon.

Happy Homemaker Monday
We are approaching the count down on starting the carpet removal. It's been a process for this room. It's funny how fast (or slow) a job can go, when it involves where you sleep at night.
Anyway, expect blurps in my blog posts. We plan to start this Friday. It will become crazy busy, as I try and figure out how to survive with things a hot mess again.

The weather . . .
Cold, in the 30's but will warm up to the 50's this weekend.
As I look outside my window . . .
There is more snow.
Right now I am . . .
Brewing coffee. The time change has me all messed up.
Thinking and pondering . . .
We thought about it, and and pondered, and decided to sell our record player and vinyl. We used it twice since we've had it over the last 14 years.
On my TV . . .
Anything that looks interesting.
Listening to . . .
Country.
On my lunch plate. . .
Have no idea.
On my dinner plate . . .
Have no idea.
On the menu. . .
-grilled cheese, home canned tomato-basil soup
-enchilada soup
-leftovers
On my reading pile. . .
No reading as I am clearing the bedroom.
On the to-do list . . .
-plan meals
Plans for the week . . .
Take all the wall decor down in the master bedroom, box it up, remove any furniture other than the bed (still making a plan). I finally convinced my husband to work on the bedroom first, then the closet (not all at once as he wanted). I still have a lot of work to purge the closet (craft related supplies, purge shoes/boots, more clothing etc etc).
What I am creating . . .
I'm down to the last two color sections on our blanket, but need to check my yarn stash for gray. I was incorrect on how much I needed, and may need to get more.
My simple pleasure . . .
Journaling.
Looking around the house . . .
Well, it looks as it would if you emptied an entire room into another room. Again.
From the camera . . .
Bible Verse, Devotional . . .
Prayers for Hope, as she struggles daily with the loss of her husband.
