Whoa Nellie! I took a little nap and slept all afternoon! So much for crafting and blogging! But better late than never. It's rainy and dark here today which may have added to the inducement to take a nap.
I worked on Santa Sunday...........but I am missing some floss colors that I need to order. Evidently, I started it thinking I would order the colors but never did! Oh boy!
I finished the hand part of the mitten and just need to sew the tip closed and then do the thumb and my first pair of mittens will be done!
Stars and Stripes Saturday project got worked on.............
and Witchy Wednesday..............
I am busy reading my natural dyeing book that came this week and I think I will be ordering some yarn to dye fairly soon.
I finished reading Marley and Me and I cried and laughed my way through this wonderful book. It was one of the best books I have ever read! I had a black lab once, Truman, named after the ship my son was on in the navy. He got hit by a gravel truck going down our road. I can remember some of his behaviors matching up with Marley's. I had never had such an energetic dog and he loved to dig...everywhere! He was a lover though and he had the sweetest disposition. I could write a book about "All the Dogs I've Loved Before". Of course, it made me reminisce about Nitty and Annie and so many more. When I finished the book there was a big pile of used kleenex next to me on the bed!
I made cinnamon rolls yesterday but put them in the frig until this morning to bake them off. They also got some cream cheese frosting applied before eating. These were the best cinnamon rolls ever! I used the recipe from The Farmchick's Kitchen which I will share this coming week.
It is 5:30 p.m. already so I had best wrap it up! I still have a loaf of bread to bake!
I hope you had a great week and that you have wonderful plans for the week ahead!
Happy Trails!!!
Those rolls look awesome! Your projects are all coming along! Hope you have a productive week. :)
ReplyDeleteThe rolls were very good...not too sweet and the dough was tasty!
DeleteI have been married to my wife for 6 years and recently she broke up with me and it hurt me deeply when she told me to leave her alone and that she doesn't love me anymore when i was always faithful and honest to her. I tried all the ways to get her back buying her what she wants like I always did and she still left me heart broken and she even has a new boyfriend which destroyed me even more until a friend of mine from high school directed me to Dr Emu. This man changed my life completely. I followed everything he told me to do and my wife came back. I was stunned everything happened exactly like he told me. I had faith in everything he told me and everything was true. You can contact him via email: Emutemple@gmail.com He will help you in anything you need and quick to answer once you contact him through his whats-app number: +2347012841542

Gosh, those rolls look good!
ReplyDeleteThey were and I will share the recipe!
DeleteOMG. I wish I lived closer - so cinnamon rolls look soooooo good. This week you and I were both crying over dog books. I will have to try Marley and Me. I didn't like the movie, but I bet the book is much better. (Of course I was trying to watch the movie on an airplane which never is the best environment for getting into a movie). I love all your stitching and yay for you with those mitts. Thumbs are fiddly for sure. I am glad you had a good long nap. A perfect way to spend a dark, rainy day (and then you get to eat cinnamon buns!!)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie yet..but I will try and find it. I've found that charity knitting groups give the best tutorials as they want to ensure you are successful and can contribute. I have no problem and I usually do! LOL!
DeleteOh goody, your mittens are getting finished up. You did so well on them too. Marley and Me was such a tear jerker movie I could never try and read the book. Those cinnamon rolls look so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am really happy with the mittens! I need to find the movie and compare with the book. I usually like the book better but we'll see. I'll share the cinnamon roll recipe this week!
DeleteYour cross stitch projects are really coming along well, Sam. I didn't realize how far you've come on that Santa. This is the second post today I've read about Marley and Me (first the movie and now the book). I don't think I'm up to reading a tear jerker book, but I'm thinking now I need to at least watch the movies... Those cinnamon rolls! They sure look delicious. Swoon-worthy they be.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing about tear jerkers is they clean out your sinuses! LOL! The rolls were excellent and I will share the recipe this week.
DeleteYou must have really needed the sleep so I wouldn't feel bad about it at all. After all, rainy days are perfect for naps. I ridculously excited about you finishing the mittens. They look wonderful and will keep a pair of hands really warm.
ReplyDeleteI have thought about reading Marley and Me but I cry at the drop of a hat with animals. I watched a video today and their 19 year old cat died and I also had a pile of kleenex in my lap. I shouldn't be allowed to read, watch or own animals because I lose part of my heart with each one.
Those cinnamon rolls look delicious. I made another chicken pot pie tonight at Dennis's request. I'm going to try to remember to post the recipe tomorrow. How did you end up liking the french onion chicken? I hope you liked it as much as we did.
Have a wonderful Monday Sam.
Blessings,
Betsy
The french onion chicken was delicious but I am trying to rid meat from my diet so I probably won't make it again. Not sure I can totally give it up but I'm going to try. You have a wonderful Monday too!
DeleteI wouldn’t be surprised if it was the emotional rollercoaster Marley and Me took you on that led to the need for a nap. I sobbed like crazy at the end of that movie and have watched it a few times and every time I’m in floods of tears. Oh I wish I was your neighbour, all this yummy baking you are doing. I made cinnamon rolls at school (called Chelsea buns here) and on my way home from school ate 6 of the 9! I LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteActually, my favorite rolls are caramel pecan. I have made cinnamon rolls before and never cared much for them. But I have made several recipes from The Farm Chicks Kitchen and they have all been so good I decided to try their cinnamon roll recipe and what a difference! They were so good and I will be making them again for sure! I've heard of Chelsea Buns and never knew what they were! Thank you, now I know!
ReplyDeleteGreat post... you've been busy!

I simply want to say thank you to this electronic company and help spread their fame abroad. If you ever are in need of this card contact them via email :blankatmdeliveryxpress@gmail.com.
Don't mail them if you not really ready for this card is gonna cost you money to buy the card note that,they offer card to firms, orphans,individual and business personnels mail them immediately .
I 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
