Has anyone seen and great yarn sales lately???

Snowy Nights

To all of you getting this COLD WEATHER.....;-) We love our fireplace.

Christmas Shopping...:-)

Good Afternoon!

We have been having fun shopping and just walking around stores looking at decorations.

At Bass Pro Shop in Tri County they have a real nice Train Scene... we both like it. Here is Hubby looking at the Big Train Set there.

... I also like the Christmas decorations at Macy's.... I really didn't expect Bass Pro to have such nice ones!!!

~ Susan

Why Is Krogers....

... Almost empty? ... It has nothing to do with Cooking & Baking for Christmas... Nope... it has something to do with a big storm coming this way... " Sunday Evening"... this is just Friday...

...Just imagine what kind of stampede Krogers and other stores will have to contend with ON Sunday...

...Does it get REAL crazy around where you live when the word SNOW is whispered about?

~ Susan

First Snow Of The Year...:-)

... Yes... I'm one of those people that loves the first snow!!! It's not amounting to anything.... But they say on Saturday we should have accumulating snow.

... We have been cleaning out the basement... Talk about junk!!! I didn't know we had half of that stuff...

~ Susan

A Gray Rainy Day...

... So we're going to eat at The Cincinnati Palace for lunch... I hope they have fish on the menu this time. I'm in the mood for Salmon. Other then that... I don't know. It's one of those slow lazy days...;-)

The weather man said SNOW for tonight...:-) Just

Get under the covers and watch the snow fall..:-~ Susan

What's Wrong With Blogspot?

It keeps telling me to Abort.... Then I lose the page I was on. I think I'll give it a rest for a day.

After Black Friday Shopping

... Here is what Sissy and I did AFTER I did some Early Bird shopping...

Ahhh... SLEEP...:-)

Of all the shopping I did... And bought nothing at those Door Buster Sales... I was tired & worn out... Sissy must have been worn out too... Yet all she did was wait for me at home.

...But I did buy some USB Memory Sticks at Staples... That was my BIG BUY of the day... See if I ever get up early for Black Friday again...;-) Did anyone else have any luck at those sales?

~ Susan

Cooking & Baking Instead...

I'm cooking & baking instead of crochet for a few days... But I think everyone is doing that about now.

I'll be in and out of here the next couple days... Too much to do to post...

So everyone have a Wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your Families & Friends...:-)

~ Susan

Ingenio Cookware

... Does anyone know where to buy it? ...My son wants to buy a set of it, but we can't find any...:-( If anyone on here knows where to buy this... PLEASE let me know.

THANK YOU!!!

~ Susan

Crashed!!!

... My Computer crashed... :-( I haven't been without my computer for 5 days now...:-( I keep thinking about everything I have on it and now I'm losing that information and pictures. The store is cleaning everything out of it. I think they called it a System Restore.

I have made 3 Hat & Scarf sets for The Binkie Patrol.. So with a computer I'm getting more crochet done...;-)

Just wanted to let you know why I haven't been on line... I hope I'll get back on soon... and I mean SOON.

~ Susan

Watching Election Returns...

Things are looking up!!!

... But as I sit here watch returns... I'll sit and type. I like to watch and see if who we voted for wins...:-) So far we're doing pretty good!!!

... Last night we went to Cincinnati Music Hall to see " John Cougar Mellenkamp "... He was good. I like the song he wrote called " It Hurts So Good "... One time at was at the chiropractor... He made an adjustment on me and I said " It Hurts So Good " LOL...

... Also last night... I popped a mint in my mouth... bit down on it... and CRACK!!! I broke a lower tooth way in the back!!! The edge of it felt SO sharp!!! It's all fixed now. Saw the dentist today.

... I just heard the dryer go off... so I better go tend to the laundry.

I Need To Put My Hook Down...

... But Just For A Minute...;-)

...You really need to listen to this... Please??? I haven't heard any of this and I try to follow politics especially when it talks about Health Care... Our Health Care...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HnkxIh62dQ

***Thanks for watching that. A friend sent it my way. It's real eye opener.

At least it was for me.

Now we can pick up our hooks again... or just go in with your day!!!

My next post will be a lot lighter... I promise...:-)

Ruebens!!!

Hi!

...Yesterday, I started craving a Rueben... I have the stuff to make them. But I didn't want to use bread. So... I made these... Rueben Roll Ups!!!

...You just lay the Corned Beef flat... put your Swiss Cheese & Sauerkraut on it... Then your dressing. Roll it up... And put in microwave for 25 seconds... YUMMY!!!

...The first ones I made had the cheese and dressing running out of it... I had it in the microwave too long. So I cut down to 25 seconds.

~ Susan

Finished It During Our Wind Storm...:-)

..... Here is the Baby Blanket that I finished during our Wind Storm today... Not sure what I'll make next.

.......And here are the stitches of it close up.

There is something about this stitch that I really like. It's called the Double Puff ...

~ Susan

Almost Done...

... I have been working on the Silver Blue Baby Afghan... It's ALMOST done. I think the skein I'm using right now will be the one to finish it. I'll get a picture of it...

...Then I can start on things for ourselves here at home. The baby afghans are for Charity.

...Has anyone eher ever used the yarn that is caled " Pound Of Love "? One of those should make 2 baby afghans. I'm just wondering if it's any good. It's always wrapped in plastic at the stores. So I can't feel it.

...I saw this and had to share it... I got a smile & groan out of it..;-)

.....It's suppose to storm & have high winds here tomorrow... So I may or may not be able to get on -line. So I'll talk to you again when I can...:-)

~ Susan

Went To Kohls...

...... I went to Kohl's today and EVERYTHING was Christmas... They had about 4 Christmas Trees with Decorations to Buy on them. But it isn't even Thanksgiving yet....



Then I looked at Pajamas there... On the wall they had big soft fleecy looking bed jackets on hangers... Loved them. I don't want a long robe... So it looked perfect... Then I looked below the Bed Jackets... " Matching Pajama pants to the jackets"... Those things "I" called Bed jackets were really Pajama TOPS!!! I would burn up in those things. You know THICK a Sleeping Bag is???? That is how thick these Pajamas were.



You know the lady who is always reading the labels on clothes? I'm sure you see her in the stores. Well, That's Me. I'll touch a piece of clothing to see what it is and I usually end up dropping it back fast. :-( ... It's always acrylic or polyester anymore. Ugh!!! I want Cotton... Or Silk or Bamboo or Merino Wool. Nothing man made. I wish they would bring back natural fibers.



O.K. I'll quit ranting... I guess I'm a material snob ...:-) So lets hear your say on the materials designers use.



~ Susan

Just Finished It!!!

It's finally done... It took a little over 800 yards of yarn... Not bad...:-)

...Here is the Baby Afghan for charity that I just finished!!! Sissy is showing you the whole afghan...

She is waiting forthe sun to come through the glass sliding doors there so she can warm herself . Sort of a Doggy Sun Spa...:-)

And here is a close up stitches...

~ Susan

Now And Then...:-)
