Life has been a bit crazy lately - I know many of us are in that same boat. But, hopefully most are smarter than I am. :) My haircut lady's husband has been sick for quite a while. Every time I would think about contacting her (through FB), I would see a note that her husband was in the hospital so I wouldn't contact her. Then . . I trimmed just one little sprig of hair and then another little ...
Vacationing Package
This is not a complaint. I think it's totally crazy. At this point, I'm just glad I'm not paying postage per mile the package travels. It's a package from 123 Stitch. I ordered floss that I need for several projects I plan to start in the next few months. Before Christmas, I made a list of projects I may start and ordered the floss so I can get that behind me. The entire travel path is ...
Potential Elderberry Benefits
You know how much I love the elderberry trees/shrubs we have here . . until I've had my fill of them and they won't stop producing and I can't let them go to waste! I'm no doctor so this isn't medical advice but I read this article yesterday. Interesting and encouraging since we have so much juice here. There are probably parts of the country where elderberries will not grow well but in ...
Souper Cubes
I've mentioned on here before how much I love the Souper Cubes. There's hardly a day that goes by that I'm not adding something to the Souper Cubes or getting something out to vacuum seal and freeze it so I can re-use the cube. I love the cookie dough freezer tray. Yes, I could put scoops of dough onto a cookie sheet and freeze it and I've done that many times but I feel so "together" when I'm ...
Cooking When I Would Rather Be Cross-Stitching!
These days, I would much rather cross stitch than cook. That's not good because we have to eat, neither of us want to go out to eat, but . . I have a lot of cross stitching to get done and 2025 is going to be a big year of finishes . . that's my plan. This morning I decided to make egg bites. I like making them with the sous vide so I mixed up a batch that made 12. Got those cooked. Will freeze ...
Two Dachshunds and Six Inches of Snow
One of the best things about having two Dachshunds (besides twice the snuggles and twice the shredded treasures) is seeing how different they are. Oscar is my third one and Cooper is the fourth but I've never had two at the same time before now. You know we do tend to lose our sense of reason as we get older! :) One of the funniest differences is that my first three dogs loved sleeping all ...
