6 minutes before I have to get ready for work...so, I tell myself, what better thing to do that post a message on my blog...and the answer is...housework. Well, as you can see I picked the lesser of the evils...LOL!!!
I just had three glorious days off from work, got to spend time with family, one of my favorite things to do. I made some felt cupcakes and donuts for Christmas presents, and did some crocheting. I shopped at my favorite store...AC Moore. (should I get paid for saying that...LOL!!!) I could spend a fortune there. If only I had the fortune to spend. I just love that store.
So, now I only have 2 minutes and am going to get myself going. So...I hope everyone has a great day, as I plan to.

Believe it or not, I am getting excited about Christmas coming. What???? you say! Halloween isn't even here yet. Well, I am trying to make a lot of presents for Christmas this year, as money is tight...(just like it is for many many people). So I am having loads of fun, trying to figure out what I can make that will make everyone happy. It seems like two months is a long time, but I know that it will be here before I can blink. So with this in mind, I am trying to work on at least one present for a couple hours every night.
I want to post some more pictures, but will have to take the time...LOL!!! And there is always so much I want to do. Sometimes. I just sit in my chair and watch tv because I can't decide what I want to do the most. Do you think I am nuts? Well, I do. But it's ok. I like being a little nuts.
Well off to work...and another wonderful day in the neighborhood.

Well, let me see...what wonderful news can I impart today. Ok, well maybe today isn't a wonderful news day, but I am up, awake, and healthy. I think I am not feeling bad...so it must be a wonderful day. Another added bonus...I don't hear any rain outside. Maybe we will be blessed with a sunny day for a change.
I made cookies yesterday, and yes, I did try them out. I had a peanut butter cookie, and a sugar cookie. Now that means that I probably will not budge the scales any lower today, but that is ok. Today is a new day and today can be a good day. It will be what I make it so I think that I will make it good.
Hey everyone...have a wonderful day. Make it yours, and make it good.

Good Morning World. Another wonderful day in the neighborhood. It is getting cooler, and I am not too keen on that, but well, so far all is right with the world and I will thank God for that.
Have been having some tummy troubles since the bout I had a few days ago. Nothing horrible, just a lot of gas, discomfort, and some pains when I stretch to the right side or lift something too heavy. I do have an appointment with the surgeons office on the 18th, so unless it gets really bad I will wait for that.
I was visiting my Mom last week, and she said she wished she had a sweater set that my Gram used to make, to send to her grand nephew...who just had a baby girl. So, I came home and proceeded to see if I could make one. I found a lovely pattern http://krstl.tripod.com/id26_drawstring_purse.htm (scroll down to second pattern.) I adjusted it a little to suit my beginner ways...and this is what I came up with.
