I've got fresh batteries ready for the weather radio for tonight. Supposedly severe weather in the middle of the night and they're even saying hurricane force winds! Whoa Nellie! Maybe I should strap myself to the bed!
Meanwhile, it stormed last night really good but no warnings. Today I finished the Cleaning Extravaganza in the master bathroom. I vacuumed and washed the floor and put clean rugs down and put battery operated candles in there which I turn on at night...........
I only have this box to go through and I'll be done. I should have washed the floor on my hands and knees but maybe next time. I wasn't up for it today.
I had the Italian beef last night and it was very good but definitely needed
more spices....in particular, oregano. I'll put it on the stove this afternoon and add some oregano and let it simmer. I cooked some peppers in olive oil and garlic to put on top....I could make a meal just out of those peppers! Yum!
I did laundry today and I wash my hand knit socks in with my other clothes. I just don't put them in the drier! These aren't all of them. I lay them out on top of the washer and dryer and let them dry.
Several years back for YOP I had divided projects into working on 1 project for charity, 1 for a gift and 1 for myself. That method seemed to work pretty well although I think there might have to be one for each type of craft? We'll see. But in the spirit of that plan, I started 2 new projects today. I had started that baby blanket but there is no way I will be able to finish it by the end of January as it makes my hand cramp up. Well, Farside is making crocheted baby bibs and she included the instructions on her blog (on my sidebar). She probably knew I would ask if she didn't! LOL! So, I started making one...easy on my hands too! Thank you Farside!
I also found on Priscilla's blog (on my sidebar) a pattern for a cowl that I loved and couldn't remember where I had gotten it. So now I have it! It was How to Crochet a Round Scarf Step-by-Step Tutorial by Love4nails on You Tube. This will be a gift. It is super easy and it turns out so nice. It is my favorite cowl so far!
I also worked a bit on my Fall Friday cross stitch...........
Here are your "tidbits" for today.......................I think I have bathrooms on the brain this week! Here's the link
Aren't these just too cute? Here's the link
I know this is so decadent but I love tiramisu and I love raspberries so the next holiday this is on the menu! Here's the recipe
and now for a little pick me up................
I hope everyone stays safe from whatever weather is in your neighborhood!
Happy Trails!!!

Ours is a Winter Storm Warning for today. 8-10 inches predicted and that's not including the snow that is supposed to fall on Saturday and Sunday too. And C.O.L.D. too. So much for our nice winter so far. :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is way too much fun to comment on today. Suffice it to say I'm going to check out that link for the cowl video and that amazing dessert. I wash/dry my socks the same way. and I copied down Far Side's pattern yesterday too. Great minds think alike! Ha!
Stay safe tonight. I'll be praying for you.
Blessings,
Betsy

DeleteI would take snow any day over tornadoes! I made it through the night and although the weather radio kept going off there was only 1 tornado warning and then it was canceled before I could even get downstairs. I haven't heard of any fatalities only 1 family in MS who lost their home but they're all fine. I hope that's all there is.
DeleteYes, I'm excited about the bib but hope I understand about the last part. I hope to get some handwork done today as it is still rainy and there's football playoff games to watch! Stay cozy and warm!
We are close enough to the lake that our moisture will be all rain. Inches and inches and inches of rain. I have to go to a neighboring town to shop and I might be swimming home.
ReplyDeleteBe careful! Remember "turn around, don't drown"!
DeleteStay safe my dear. Our daughter flew into Wichita today and they had tornado warnings and were looking at rain and snow for the day. Yucky.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the bathroom.
We wash and dry our handknitnaocks the same way if they are wool. Otherwise they go into washer and dryer.
Yes, the weather is crazy right now....I hope she stays safe!
DeleteWe went to the storm cellar tonight. I hope it's just a one-time thing! When I was a kid we used to go to the cellar several times in one night. We live a little south of you, and heard there was a lot of rain in your area. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteAll my relatives were farmers and they had storm cellars. I spent my summers on the farm but don't remember ever having to use them. Of course, back then your only warnings were looking up at the sky! LOL! I hope you are all okay. We had 1 tornado warning but it was canceled right away and then just severe thunderstorms. I think south of me got the worst of it....like you? I pray no one was injured. Property can be replaced but not lives.
ReplyDeleteI have a favorite Quilt Shop called The Little Red Hen and you can order online and they sell individual fat quarters which I love. Most online shops don't that I know of. If you're a quilter as it seems you are you might want to check them out. I have to order almost everything online as there are no stores around here unless I drive 2 hours. Take care and I pray you made it through the night alright!
That will be some wicked winds, stay safe! Yeah for starting a bib! You will be done in no time:) It was -29 here this AM...but the sun is out:)
ReplyDeleteOh, Sam... even as you're thinking about unseen storms and tornadoes you're making me chuckle. I hope you fared well through last night's winds and rain. Everything in your posts inspires me to be more busy and get more done. Yay you on all the cleaning and getting rid of stuff you don't want or need!
ReplyDeleteWell, just as expected, the storms came but the snow fizzled. All I really wanted was enough for a pretty picture. Weather Alerts kept us awake until the wee hours, but, thankfully, all is well. I would say you definitely should have an A+ for your bathroom Cleaning Extravaganza! Thanks for the tip on making envelopes! And, before I forget, I love your assortment of hand knitted socks!
ReplyDeleteWhen I found Dr. OKISIN I was desperate in need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr. OKISIN through his Whats app number +2348109374702 and He told me me what i need to do before he can help me and i did what he told me to, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. OKISIN helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. OKISIN to anyone in need of help. Email: dr.okisinsolutiontemple@gmail.com Call him or add him on whatsapp via: +2348109374702 ..,,,..,,,..

ReplyDeleteI was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
