Not in the clear..........

 

You guessed it!  Last week I came down with this awful cold.  The sneezy, coughing, blowing your nose every couple of minutes type.  I had to take medications in the evening so that I could sleep.    I keep hoping each day it'll be over, but ugh ~ it keep hanging on.

All of my holiday shopping is done!  Yay!  We had a "giving tree" at church, and I picked a little 9 year old girl this year.  One of the things she put down was coloring books.  Here I am at Walmart, and I am shocked at how much coloring books are these days.  Granted, they were thicker and fancier than the ones I got when I was a kid.  But $9?  Sheesh.  

I made toffee!  I had seen a video on how to do it, along with a recipe and it looked so easy.  So I made it on Monday.  I knew something was wrong when all I could smell was burnt sugar.  I tossed that one in the bin and looked up another recipe.  It was even easier, and it came out great.  I need to get on with my cookies, but today is bread day, so I'll just embroider.  

 I am doing this one for a friend of mine who loves sunflowers.  I really should have been almost done, but with the holidays and the illness, and some days feeling really lazy, I haven't made a lot of progress.  Luckily she is cool with however long it takes me.  In exchange I'll have a couple of free haircuts, so win win!

Well, I better get to work on it!  Have a great week everyone!

Love, 365 

 

Winter is coming!......

 

I suppose otters don't feel the cold so much.  However, being totally adorable takes you a long way....

I was sick the Monday before Thanksgiving with what is charmingly called the "two bucket virus" or norovirus.  I'll let you figure out why you would need two buckets.  That was no fun for 8 hours.  The next day was a wash, as you need another 24 hours to rehydrate.  Somehow I managed to fix the sides for Thanksgiving, but kept having episodes of dizziness.  I was glad it was all over ~ which is sad because normally I love Thanksgiving!

Then on Friday night, Romeo and I had a terrible fight.  

I've never been so glad to see a week behind me.

Tomorrow I am in charge of the Christmas decorations at church.  All the stuff is in the basement, which isn't scary except for the stairs!  I don't know who constructed them, but they should be flogged.  They are too short and too steep.  

 Wednesday we bake tsoureki for the Christmas bake sale.  Then I'm done for the week, hurrah.  

I have my shopping done, which is super easy since the only shopping I have to do is for the Grandkids.  We don't get anything for each other ~ what do we need?  

I still have plenty of projects I have lined up, so I guess I'll go work on one of those.  I hope you have a great week!
