Friday - November 4, 2022

 It's so beautiful here!  77 today and has been all week with no humidity.  Storms are expected tonight...yay!  I went to Walmart today and got some supplies especially to get me  through next week when I have my cataract surgery.  

The pc problem is fixed!  I have a service called Geek Buddy and it goes along with my security from Comodo.  I've had it for years as I live in the middle of nowhere so if I have a problem with my pc they can logon to it and fix it remotely!  Which they did yesterday.  I thought it was a Mozilla Firefox problem but it wasn't....it was a Microsoft update.  It took about 2 hours but I am good to go!  It costs me about $240 for 3 years and it is well worth it!  They are available  24/7 and no waiting!  They are the best!

I've got all my plants in and my geranium is blooming........

I picked up some yarn at Walmart but it is really splitty.  I was looking for Lion Brand Woolease but they had this instead.  It is by Lion Brand but it must be a cheap version they sell to Walmart.  But I already bought it for a project so I guess I will muddle through.  The dark one is a dark green...

I got all my acorns and Bradford pear berries cooked and de-bugged and I also brought some berries inside.  The white ones are from my yard and the red ones are from my neighbor's yard....she gave me permission..........

I  have a few things to look forward to and I thought I would share them with you.......first is an online cross stitch retreat called The Jingle Ball.  It costs $10 and there are all kinds of activities and shopping and classes.  Unfortunately the classes are all booked up but for $10 I thought I would give it a try.  You can find  information about it at www.jingleball.net  This is December 2nd and 3rd.

The other thing I am committing to is a SAL (stitch along) with the Sew n Sews (a great podcast!) that starts on December 6th....it is Aunties Sewing Box by Sue Hillis....it has the patterns for all those items!  So precious!

I need to get busy making the Christmas Ornaments and I have quite a few Advent gifts but there are still more left to buy or make.  What have you been up to?

Happy Trails!!!

Hi Sam You are busy as usual. I have lots of projects in the works old photos and I have two mosaic crochet afghans in the works. Hope you have a good weekend!

Gosh, busy, busy. Sorry about the poor quality yarn. Your computer service sounds like a bargain. I had a crappy service and they just renewed me for 285 for ONE YEAR without even telling me. I called and cancelled and got a refund.

I'm sorry that you had computer issues but very happy for you that you have such a great company to help you out. I think the projects in the aunties sewing box booklet look great. I see several I would love to make, if I only had time.
I hope your weather continues so good for you.
Blessings,
Betsy

I love geraniums and our local shop has some available but they just don't fare well in this environment, especially in dusty weather. You continue to stay crafty and keep yourself busy over there. We're having cloudy days but so far only a splatter of rain which some people got very overexcited about. :) Take care.

I really enjoy the Sew n Sews. Nancy and Cathy share some amazing projects. I love that they share quilting as well as cross stitch.
I'm sewing along with the Fat Quarter Shop's Sewcialites 2 quilt along.
