Look what I got in the mail today! It came from Betsy who blogs over at The Simple Life of a Queen...she's on my sidebar. I have wanted one of these after seeing them around the internet and blog world. It is a holder for my DPN's....double pointed needles that you have probably seen when I'm knitting my socks. It is "the bee's knees"
It keeps your yarn on your needles and you don't have to be concerned and so easy to stick it in your purse and take it with you. Betsy sent it wrapped in this pretty tissue paper and accompanied by a sweet note.
Thank you sweet Betsy! I am thrilled and will think of you every time I use it and I WILL be using it.....see.....
I am thinking of something to send you so keep your eye out! You are too kind!
In honor of Cinco De Mayo I made my first BLT for lunch! YUM! Yes, it is offcially BLT season.
I made rice krispie treats for a dessert in trying to empty my cupboards and use up things.
Remember that Thai meal prep I bought.............
well, i made it tonight for supper and it was easy and good. It doesn't look too good but trust me, the chicken was cooked yet moist and very tasty with the peanut coating. I had green beans as a side. Heathy and tasty! But that pan is going to be a bummer to clean! LOL!
I go for my bone scan tomorrow so between cooking and cleaning today and hospital tomorrow there wasn't any time left for grout or closet and none tomorrow but Saturday for sure and God willing!
Happy Trails!
I'm so glad you like your little gift. It's not fancy but they work very well :-). You don't have to worry about sending anything in return. My gift is knowing you like it and will use it. My favorite sandwich is a BLT. No one will believe that it's what I choose to order when we go out to eat if it's on the menu. Yum! As for the hard to clean pan, I've discovered the joy of Reynolds Wrap Non-stick foil. It makes cleanup a breeze on things like this. Have a wonderful Friday!

Thank you for the tip. I didn't know there was non-stick foil! Awesome! When I make my BLT's at home here I load on the bacon and mayo and toast my homemade bread.....heaven! As Emeril Lagasses says...I "kick it up a notch"! LOL! A little bacon and mayo is good but lots is even better!
DeleteSuch a lovely and useful gift, how kind of Betsy! Yummy tasty food.....delicious! Hope all goes well with your scan. Have a happy weekend.

Hi Helen! I already know I have severe osteoporosis but I have fallen several times since they diagnosed me and not broken anything. I can only get better not worse! LOL! Have a great weekend and it's Mother's Day here on Sunday and I know you celebrate yours on a different date so in case I missed it Happy Mother's Day from the states! LOL! My Mother's Day present to myself is hopefully getting some sewing done!
DeleteOh my gosh, I love that needle holder! What a nice gift to receive.
ReplyDeleteI'm ordering the snap pliers and snaps and hope to be selling some in my future Etsy shop but for you....it's on the house and you can "test" it for me. But if you can't wait, Betsy on my sidebar as The Simple Life of a Queen is selling some from her blog.
DeleteWhat a nice needle holder! I did the same thing with a pan last week, foil is my friend:)
ReplyDeleteDuh, I should have known better but that pan is due for a good cleaning and who knew there was something like non-stick foil? I need to get out more often! LOL!
DeleteWhat a nice gift to receive in the mail. Good luck with your bone scan tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love a bone scan....if you have to have a test...that's the one. If you don't wear anything metal (bra hooks, zippers etc.) and I didn't...you don't have to remove any clothing whatsoever and you just lay there and relax. The only part that was difficult was the part where you put your hands over your head and that's not a problem but you stay that way for awhile and when I went to get up my shoulders really objected! I'll have to add a new exercise to my routine! LOL!
DeleteThat certainly is a lovely gift. Here in Australia we have Glad Bake a non stick baking paper that I use for everything, if you don't have it I'll send you some...you will never have to scrub again
