And I do too!
Oh Marie it has taken over 20 minutes to read your post and I fear I need to reread it to remember what is at the front. The crochet patterns are so sweet but today is has been around 21 or 22 and it is mid winter here. Generally August can be cold because we feel the Antarctic winds. Today I bought some fabric to make baby clothing. But there is so much to do and I am afraid neither Pip nor Mum help much. Pip will say yes to everything and just not do it. I just don't seem to find much time.
ReplyDeleteI love the picnic set and the needlework jar.
God bless you today and always.
Hi, Marie! Such good sugar alternative info...much look at that more closely. Just when I think we're reducing sugar use, we go up again. Lately I've been doing more baking, and with sugar... so that probably doesn't help... LOL! LOVE that cute crochet star-fish baby bunting--too cute! That Cosy Stripe Blanket is lovely... like Lucy of Attic 24's desisgns. So many goodies here today! We watched the first series or so of Lilyhammer... it got a little too rough and violent for us after a while, so we stopped watching... But the storylines in the first series were really fun and interesting--and fun that it was set here in Norway! ;) Happy Weekend to you all there... :))) ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))
ReplyDeleteOh dear Suzan! I don't know how you cope! You are one very patient lady. God bless! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy. I expect that if the series gets really violent we will stop watching it also. As it is the language is a bit, you know, but it is hard to find a series without bad language in it these days. We thought it quite entertaining, but I take your point and see where it could easily go up the wrong track in future episodes! Happy weekend to you also, lvoe and hugs. xoxo
I do love honey and have it in my tea and on toast with butter. They say if is very good for you. It's more expensive than sugar but then it seems anything good for you is always more expensive. Hope you have a fantastic Friday!
ReplyDeleteWe watched that whole series also..I was hooked at the beginning too..my interest waned later..let me know..
ReplyDeletethen it didn't return:(
I tried watching Anne w/ an E..I can't believe it's not on Netflix Canada.
That looks like a starfish bunting..oh Marie w/ your talents your could crochet ANYTHING.
Have a beautiful weekend..Home sweet home..:)
That sounds as if it might be a good series Marie hope it continues in the same way. I don't have Netflix so don't get to see some of the great things you get. I just have the usual stations plus free sat...mind you almost all the stations play the same programmes just different times, so there's a lot of repeats. Whilst Mary is away I don't have it on nearly so much . I can sit and read more and of course play about on the I pad more! I enjoy playing....scrabble !! With friends, it's amazing to think we can be so many miles and continents apart but still keep our friendships growing with our words and messages to each other....wish I could crochet as I,think,that star shaped baby grow is lovely...as is the sewing kit...well I'm away now it's almost pill time !! Night night. God Blessmyou and Todd and Mitzie. ( Masy is lying sound asleep, we had the groomer in this afternoon and I find she is always tired after the session, but she does look lovely xx
ReplyDeleteI like that chart about the honey and maple syrup.
ReplyDeleteI have an afghan
similar with autumn colors that my Aunts gave me yrs ago.
Oh, my Daughter would love the pin cushion! She's into anything with the canning jars! lol.
Now I know how to float the flowers in a bowl.
That shirt looks comfortable. If only I sewed! lol.
Uh oh, it's going to storm!
Hugs Marie and give ur Todd a great big hug just bc!
You are so right Pam! Anything that is good for you seems to be expensive. It should be the other way around! Have a great weekend! oxox
ReplyDeleteWe will see how it goes Monique. I heard a lot of people complaining about Anne with an E, but we loved it and are looking forward to series 2! I can't believe you don't have it in Canada either! Crazy!xoxo
We have free sat also Sybil. Most of what we want to watch is on too late, so we tend to record and then watch the Netflix. I am sure you are missing Mary in a lot of ways, but also enjoying having your time to yourself! Mitzie is always exhausted after being to the groomers as well. I am sure it is very stressful! xoxo
Hope you didn't get too bad of a storm Jan! xoxo
