  • Re: Craft Projects for Christmas 2009 - what are you making?

    DH is making me a crochet row marker from a large lobster clasp, eye pin, and beads.  So useful and easier to use than a bread tie when making rounds! re-tired

  • Re: Wednesday November 18 $$$ Stretching

    We'll be leaving in just a bit for the eye doctors.  First DH here in town to get in his free yearly checkup and we know he will need glasses this time.  Then on out of town to my eye doctor.  Hopefully he will tell me that my coughing fits during bronchitis did no damage and will set up the appointment for my next surgery that ...

  • Re: Monday November 16 $$$ Stretching

    DH is a bad influence on me when he is off on weekends!  We were up until 4 a.m. last night and I only managed to sleep in the bed a couple of hours then moved to the chir and fell asleep again around 11 until 3. Trying to get a couple of loads of laundry done but it has gotten cold here again.  80 degrees Saturday, 48 today!  I ...

  • Re: Saturday November 14 $$$ Stretching

    DH did not have to work today but we have both slept the day away.  We stayed up a looooong time last nite.  Actually until 7 a.m. so sleeping all day wasn't just being lazy.  Now we have to rush to get a few errands run.  We need dog food, to pick up my meds at Kroger, to return something to Hobby Lobby.  We'll ...

  • Re: Fri. Nov. 13 How are You Stretching Today?

    DH got paid last night so I have to do a bank run today.  I made out all of the bills already so I'll mail most of them today.  I have a couple that will have to wait because I have to take Daddy some money.  We can't get in touch with my brother who has Daddy's bank card and Daddy is down to less than $10 in his ...

  • Re: Christmas presents from reclaimed materials

    Most of the potholders I crocheted to give for gifts was bought at garage sales so I guess it's kind of recycled.  I had to buy about 4 skeins of chosen colors to go with others but it was all on sale and with coupon.  And the dreaded pink yarn was bought on deep discount. All of the baskets I'll be using were garage sale ...

  • Re: Thursday Nov. 12 How Are You Stretching Today?

    DH went by Daddy's on his way to work and put a new light bulb in Daddy's front porch light.  My brother will probably get mad about that (he likes to be in charge of Daddy)  but I've been telling him for 2 weeks that Daddy was fussing about needing it done.  We also found out that Daddy doesn't use his ...

  • Re: Wednesday Nov. 11 How Are You Stretching Today?

    I was up early and taking laundry out to the washer when the neighbor's dog decided to visit again.  Fortunately they were all home and walking out to their cars when I went to tell them.  He's a sweet dog but too rough for the poodles (and me!) and he pulls my clothes off the line and out of the laundry room. I'm still ...

  • Re: Giving Homemade Frozen Meals for Christmas?

    Ariana-  I'll be making lasagne for family members for Christmas and freezing them.  Everyone always wants mine whenever I make it--and I HATE TO MAKE IT!  So I'm making appropriate sized containers for them and giving them as presents.  I've been buying the noodles and foil pans as I have extra grocery money.  ...

  • Re: Tuesday Nov 10, How Are You Stretching Today?

    DH took my ILL books back to the library for me on his way to work.  We both had something from home earlier.  I'll be making his favorite chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes for him to have when he gets off work.  Hopefuly he will also get some new uniform pants.  His are falling off! I need to fold and put away a ...
