Sunday Night Chit Chat

My picture today is of the two fabric remnants I bought at Hobby Lobby last week! The off-white is twill and I got 3/4 of a yard for only $3.00. The John Deere is 1 7/8 yards for $7.86! I am going to use the John Deere fabric to make bottle bags for some Christmas baskets we are doing for friends. I am hoping there is enough fabric left over to make a Zippy Wallet or two. 

The Sunday Night Chit-Chat is started each week by Carla at My 1/2 Dozen Daily. Carla has a wonderful tutorial on her blog for the Zippy Wallets and she will soon have another one for a Coffee Cozy. I hear my sewing machine calling my name but have been so busy with other things I haven't been able to answer:( Soon...very soon!!!

So, let's get started with the Chit-Chat!

I am...

Reading...I don't even want to go there! I haven't done any reading for a week or more. I have magazines I haven't read and a book that I started 3 weeks ago:( So I am just going to pretend this question doesn't exist!

Watching...The Grace Card. 

Cooking/Baking...I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning with scrambled eggs. Tonight I made Mushroom Barley Soup. 

Happy I accomplished this week...

• I got the applesauce finished and safely put away in the fruit room
• I visited the doctor to try to find out the cause of my maladies--I've had a rash for 3 months and it's only getting worse. Suspecting another food allergy:(
• Got the house cleaned on Friday after making a huge mess with the applesauce.
• I purchased another early Christmas gift for my DD! She is so hard NOT to buy for! By the way, she LOVES her Stampin' Up! paper trimmer! Hers was so dull and she couldn't buy blades for it anymore so...Mom to the Rescue! Now she can make her holiday cards with a smile on her face:)

Looking forward to next week...My Happy Stampers meet on Wednesday!!! I love these ladies and we have sooo much fun together:) I am also hoping my Secret Sister Swap arrives in the mail this week??? 

Thankful for today...

• Benadryl for when my itchy rash gets to much to handle.
• That I am finally on my way to finding out what my health issues are so we can fix it or I can learn to live with it.
• The HUGE apple harvest we had. I made 65 quarts of applesauce, we have six boxes of apples in the root cellar plus we gave away LOTS of apples to our church family last night.

*BONUS QUESTION*

Do I have any hobbies? If so what are they?

DO I HAVE ANY HOBBIES??? 

• Paper crafting
• Sewing
• Crocheting
• Knitting
• Cross stitch
• Cooking
• Reading

Well, that's it for me on this cold Sunday Night! Be sure to check out Carla's blog to see what she's up to:)

Have a nice evening!

5 Things Friday

I wasn't sure I was going to get this post done today there were sooo many other things that needed to be done! 5 Things Friday is originated by Carla each week at My 1/2 Dozen Daily. 

So here are my 5 things for this Friday...

1. Doctor's appointment yesterday. It was supposed to be a one hour visit but I finally got out of there THREE hours later!!! This is a wonderful doctor and people come from a great distance to see him. However, he doesn't turn away walk-ins so that means people (like me) with appointments sometimes have to wait. I am really hoping it was all worth it--my 3 hour drive (one way) and my 3 hours in the doctor's office. It will be if he can figure out what's wrong with me.
2. We got our first frost last night but tonight will be the killing frost. So thankful we got everything brought in from the garden:)
3. I went to a new store yesterday...new to me anyway! It's called Hobby Lobby and it was awesome! I bought some great fabric (will show it off on Sunday) plus got a birthday present for an 11 year old boy who LOVES to draw! This store will definitely be on my "must stop here" list when I go to the Tri-Cities (in WA).
4. We bought this great bed from Cabella's for our Great Dane, Beau! Well, Beau doesn't like it. We thought about returning it but it turns out the other two dogs love it--especially our English Bulldog, Rocky! Today when I was picking up before vacuuming, Rocky had SIX toys in the bed! He is such a funny dog!!!
5. Yesterday I bought a new bra I have been wanting to try--the Genie Bra! I LOVE it!!! It is so comfortable and does exactly what the infomercial says it will do! I found mine in a store in an "As Seen on TV" section. I am going to have to go get a few more before they sell out! Don't be afraid to try this one, ladies!!! I also bought an Ahh Bra but am not as impressed with it but will give it a try.

Okay, there you have it! My 5 Things for this Friday! Be sure to stop back by on Sunday for the Sunday Night Chit-Chat! Have a great weekend!
