Spoke too soon..

Got really busy for the last couple of days.. running around.. etc.  Ended up going to dinner at my Best Friend's house.. so didnt get much done then.. and alot of company.. which again throws off my schedule.. today I was busy making homemade spaghetti sauce, using the veggies I grew over the summer.. my plum tomatoes and green peppers.. smells heavenly.. putting my spaghetti on in about an hour.. so am spending that time working on the craft room.. have my last new bin of yarn to go thru (now that was a great gift!!).. once that is done, I can box up more yarn and even make more room.. smile.. room already looks roomier.. have to keep it that way.

I am working on the same slippers before that was suppose to be a gift.. got the slipper part done.. just have the animal head to do.. then I have an order to start this weekend..

Hopefully have pictures soon of the holidays etc.. if I can find time to get them done.. grin.. See you all tomorrow for my NEW YEARS message.. we arent going anywhere this year, so I am hoping to get some more stuff done.. bye for now..

The day after Christmas..

How was your Christmas? Mine was busy.. as usual.. got most of the gifts finished (have two that will end up being Birthday gifts).. got my holiday dinner done... we had full turkey dinner with all the trimmings.. had company and exchanged gifts with almost everyone.. 

Now for today.. Today is my day of rest.. working on reorganizing my craft room.. stopped over at a few places to drop off a couple of gifts... and to the store for pet supplies.. leftovers for dinner.. with cookies for dessert... sounds good to me.. getting ready for the new year.. smile.. 

Christmas Eve

I wont have time to stop in.. so I am just going to drop a line here.. so I am going to save this for tomorrow.. I will be busy with company, and that is the day we decorate our tree (LOL our cats make it hard).. and I also want to get some baking done for Christmas.  So I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and have a wonderful day.. Will be back on the 26th..

Pre-Christmas Eve

Yesterday I went to my son's and DIL house for dinner and to exchange gifts.  It was really a nice day there.  I got to see my two grandboys and Jazz got to spend time with them.. grin.. they are totally crazy about my boyfriend.. LOL!! 

They had chicken breasts baked with flavored bread crumbs, asparagus, and tortellini... and homemade cookies for dessert.. then we exchanged gifts and talked.. smile.. we got a nice bottle of wine and a movie giftcard set.. and they sent us home with cookies.. smile..

Today, I was busy.. getting ready for Christmas and starting to clean and reorganize my craft room.. hoping to make it easier to use as it is really hard to move around in here.. grin.. figure once I clean it out.. it will be good for a year.. that is my end of year goal.. which is why I am not doing sales until after Jan. 7th..

Today for dinner.. we had a quick one. chicken legs, with tuna macaroni salad (I made it) and fresh butternut squash.. My boyfriend mad the chicken, and I did the rest.. he is making a blueberry cake for dessert while I work in my craft room..

Well.. back to work.. grin..
