The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

FOR TODAY, December 3, 2019

Outside my window ...

Its dark, cold and dry. We have had heavy frosts every morning this week, but it melts as soon as the sun hits it.  Todd keeps forgetting to buy car de-icer and windshield wiper anti-freeze fluid. Maybe today he will remember.

I am thinking ...

About what an adventure this life of mine has been. Its taken me in directions I never dreamed it would take me. Life is so unpredictable.  Its best to enjoy each day as it comes. 

I am thankful for ...

Loved ones near and far. Each morning when I open my eyes, I thank God for giving me another day.

In the kitchen ... 

 

Million Dollar Salsa Chicken.  Elaine made it sound so good, I had to find a recipe and cook it.  So glad that I did! Its fabulous! 

On my "To Cook" list ... 

 

The Chunky Chef.  Beef and Barley Soup in the Slow cooker.  Looks and sounds great! 

Good to know ... 

 

Its easy really, small steps=big change. 

I am creating ... 

  

Red Heart.  Dangling Donut Ornament.  Cute! 

 

Cottage Painted Rock. No source, just inspiration. 

  

Crochet Elf Boots.  Hand, Heart and Sole on Ravelry. Not free but not expensive either. 

 

Cool Creativity. Rudolf Slippers.   So cute! 

 

 The Crafter Life.  Crochet Lip Balm and Gift Holder that looks like a Candy Cane! Cute! 

I am Reading ... 

 

PS, I Love You by Cecelia Ahern 

Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. But not Holly and Gerry. Childhood sweethearts, they could finish each other’s sentences. No one could ever imagine them without each other. When Gerry dies, Holly is devastated. But Gerry has left her a bundle of notes, one for each month of her year, each signed 'PS, I Love You'. As the notes are opened, the man who knows Holly better than anyone teaches her that life goes on. With some help from friends and family, Holly laughs, cries and finds that life is for living – but it helps if there's someone watching over you.

Just started this one. So far I am enjoying it.

Dreaming About ...  

 

Blue Point Siamese  . . .  this one looks like our Brandy that we had a long time ago  . . .  would love to have one again. 

 

  

Brown Paper Packages  . . .

 

 

Gingerbread Houses  . . .  

 

Snow covered gates  . . .  

 

Sparkly Christmas Baubles  . . . 

Makes me smile ... 

  

Even the thought of a white Christmas  . . . 

Something to Watch ... 

 

His Dark Materials on the BBC. 

A Thought to carry with you ...
