Tuesday freebie Baking Blitz

Time is whizzing past! All my holiday shopping is done, just waiting for a few things to arrive. Unfortunately, still much cleaning and prepping to do before Thanksgiving. We are both short on energy. While watching TV last 2 nights I have used a yarn sample of burgundy with red metallic thread through it to make a straight doll skirt with a flounce bottom edge. Have tried 5 different ideas to make a vest to go with but either the stitch pattern required too much yarn or the design was too bulky, Finally just made a granny square and will make another and try to piece them together with some single crochet to get a pullover vest. Not happy with it though. Ran out of yarn on the sleeping bag I am making for the doll so will have to shop for more once we are past the weekend. Had to go out for a few things today and that wore me out but I'm going to get the major stuff done somehow. Got confirmation that Tyler and his girlfriend will be by on Friday evening so that will be 4 young people in the house.

Today's zip brings in some blue and yellow.

Saturday already! More Baking Blitz freebie & a look at what I've been making

Sitting at computer listening to Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Canon. Lovely. Yesterday, husband and I went shopping - Costco and Food Lion. Got everything we need for holiday dinner on Friday and by the time we got everything put away, we were exhausted. Might be last year we cook holiday dinners at our house and that makes me sad. We also took some donations down to Children's Hospital Thrift store. Other than that all I accomplished was boxing up some gifts for wrapping later. That got rid of a lot of packing waste. Decided the little blue sweater I'd crocheted for Larkin's doll needed something more so crocheted a tiny white edge around neckline and made a lacy heart from crochet thread and attached to front of sweater. Got hubby to take some photos of the other doll clothes I've made.

Here is a crocheted dress, shoes & purse:

But this is my favorite, a sweater coat with matching hat & a pair of boots that match attache type purse (that's a cupid button for closure).

Another run out today for a few things I needed. Have to do some cleaning before dinner and then VCU men's basketball game at 7 pm.

How is your holiday planning going?

Thanks so much for the lovely comments. I so enjoy hearing from you.

Don't know where the time is going. Got the insurance stuff straight but still gathering papers for estate planning. Doesn't that sound grand- Estate? Just a regular house hold. Trying to figure out where my day went. Finished up a pair of crocheted boots and another purse for Larkin's doll while sitting with husband and watching TV. Found the tissue paper and put a few gifts in boxes to be wrapped later. That gave me a surprising amount of trash to throw out. Made grocery lists - guess that will be tomorrow. Still so much to do before Thanksgiving and I have no energy to speak of. How are things going for you? Bet most of you have cleaned and shopped and are ready for holiday.

Baking Blitz freebie continues

So far, it seems most of you are happy with the new kit & that is great. Cold & gloomy here and so many things I need to do. On the plus side one huge problem is solved. I made a few changes to my prescription list (made some generic, checked quantities etc) and have spent days going over info insurance agent provided and also navigating the web site at mymedicare.gov. Today I found a plan I can afford and called agent to get enrolled. There is still one very expensive drug on my list (Januvia) and I can't see that changing unless I opt to go on insulin, which I do not want to do. A friend told me to look into Good Rx which has coupons for various drugs and has saved her quite a bit when she hits her coverage gap, so I'll do that. Any of you have experience with it? Also got enrolled in a new vision insurance plan since our coverage under husband's retirement ends in December. Two items off my list.

The weather change has set off pain for both of us and yesterday evening & night the electricity kept going on and off. The electric company said it had something to do with an off coast storm sending salt spray onto the lines

Today's zip is largely in green and has some ingredients.

How are you doing on holiday plans? I've got a lot of cleaning to do in next few days and prepping for Thanksgiving. We will celebrate Friday instead of Thursday so son and DIL can be with us. Possible grandson and his girl too. Most of my Christmas shopping is done and I'm waiting on deliveries. Need to find my tissue paper so I can box some of these things up. Finished a sweater coat and hat for Larkin's Christmas doll. I think it came out pretty well. will take a photo so I can show you.

And I'm off to complete one of the more mundane chores - laundry.

Hugs to all!

Cold & windy weather & freebie

Had to go out to run some errands. Windy & cold with a totally overcast sky. Feels like snow but not predicted. Got a few things done at least.
