I did a thing!

 When I was on Facebook yesterday, there were a few articles about new Apple products, and one is a new MacBook called the Neo. So I went on Apple's site, and it's so cute!

 $699 for the one with the bigger storage! And it works just like my iPhone! So of course I ordered one. The yellow is too bright, so I ordered the pink. It'll be delivered in 2-3 weeks.

 Yesterday I cut this fabric to size for a tablecloth for Manda, I want to do the hemming today.

I just did another thing, I bought some stock. Steph was telling me about novo nordisk, who makes the GLP-1 Wegovy. Due to the war criminal's actions, the market is down, and it's now $38 per share, so I bought 15 shares. I'm not a big stock market investor. The first time the war criminal crashed the market, I bought 101 share of Royal Caribbean for $22 a share, and 101 shares of Carnival for about $15 a share. My less than 3K investment is not worth over 30K! I plan to leave my stock to my 4 grandchildren. Not a fortune, but a nice gift.

And F*ck the War Criminal, his whole administration, and anyone who supports them. 

Rainy Day

Rain is good, because it's melting the remaining snow. It makes us thing spring is close!

I did this fabric book, finished it yesterday. Decided I don't care to do the other two, so I started a bag for next years donations to the library's craft exchange. 

The scrap afghan, which is about half done, is on hold due to running out of scraps! It's #3 for this year. I gave one to Jacob and Molly for their new-to-them house, and the others are waiting for someone to come along and need/want one. 

My son in law Ed texted me a picture yesterday. I had made them a half dozen bowl cozies, and he took one to work and sent me the pic of his lunch bowl in it. I'm always happy to see my creations in use, and my kids and kids in law use them. 

F*ck the entire administration and anyone stupid enough to support them.
  

Yesterday was busy!

 I go in the sewing room when Lisa the cleaner is here, to stay out of her way. She does that room last, and I vacate it when she's ready. Ralph goes down to the basement and has been sorting and cleaning.

 I finished the limoncello fabric bowl cozies! These are for us. 

I also started putting together one of the fabric books that I found panels for. The first one is ABC's of Christmas, and I should finish it today. I'll do all 3 or 4, and put them away for future family babies. I've given Boone two, a spring one and a Christmas one. 

We met Julianna and family at Cinder Bar for her birthday dinner, and had a wonderful time. When we came out it was really misty, which later turned to fog! 

It cleared up by this morning, which was good since I had a grocery order delivered by Walmart. So much better than having to trek to a store, any store.

And more than ever, F*ck the felon, ice, the entire cabinet, the feeb director, and anyone dumb enough to support any of them. Especially the congress, some of whom now think the Constitution doesn't apply anymore. 

Cleaning day!

 Not by me! Lisa comes once a month and cleans. Does the kitchen, the bathrooms, dusts, vaccums, mops. She's here for about 2 hours. I've had a cleaner for years. It started when Heather was working but not going to school after high school, and she cleaned instead of paying board. Win win situation. When she moved out, my niece took over the job, and did it for years, til the pandemic. After the pandemic we hired Lisa, and she does a great job. 

We are forced to tidy up when Lisa is coming, so she can clean. For years the joke was that having a cleaner kept Ralph alive. 

One of the limoncello fabric bowl cozies is done. The others have the darts in, and just have to be sewn together, which is today's task. I go in the sewing room while Lisa is here so I'm not in her way. This was a kit, and it sewed 2.5 inch strips together. I like the look, but not the extra work. I'll stick with 10 inch squares from now on. 

We're looking forward to dinner tonight to celebrate Julianna!

And as always, F*ck the mysogenistic felonious pediphile, those who protect him, ice, the feeb director, and the supporters of this illegal conflict. 
 

This and that

 Before we went to lunch yesterday, I did a few things in the sewing room, nothing picture worthy.

I fixed a coaster that one seam hadn't caught.

I hemmed the sleeves of a fabric cardigan that Manda made me.

My mom had made a toddler sized denim shirt jacket, I'm not sure who she started it for. The pins in the side seams were so rusted that they broke and I had to use a hemostat to get them out. I did the side seams and hemmed it, and now it can go to Baby Boone.

I sewed the big X's on the bowl cozies that hold the front to the batting. Today I plan to do the darts and maybe start sewing the pieces together.

After lunch, we stopped by the county library. They have a yearly craft swap, which is next week. I had a bunch of panels that I'm not going to ever get to, and some big pieces of corduroy that might have been from Mom's house. They were happy to get the donations.

Last night I watched SNL and the last 3 episodes of Will Trent while I crocheted on the scrap afghan. 

And tomorrow is March 3, which is an eventful day for us. It's my late mom's birthday- she'd be 96! And it's our beautiful granddaughter Julianna's 19th birthday. My mom used to get such a kick out of sharing Jul's birthday parties. And sadly, it's the second anniversary of Jul's other grandpop's death. 

And as always, F*ck the Felon, ice, the supporters of this Iran mess, and the feeb director.  

It's March

 The snow is melting! It's too soon to hope for spring, but I enjoy the warmer temperatures.

 So Welcome to March!

It's Sunday, so lunch with Frank and Charlotte. Today is Frank's birthday, and he picked Olive Garden for lunch. Yum, soup and salad. I love the chicken gnocchi soup. 

And as always, F*ck the Felon, ice, and anyone dumb enough to support them. 

 

 

Bye Bye February

It's going to be in the 50's today and tomorrow, a tease for spring. Then back into the 30's Monday. We've had some melting, but there is probably still over a foot of snow on the ground. 

I worked off and on for 2 hours yesterday, and finished the fabric sorting and organizing! The top picture is in the guest room. Batting on the top. Flannel taking up a full two rows! Then floral, asian, novelty, and on the bottom shelf, large pieces.

The white cabinet holds all the Christmas and other holiday fabrics.

The bottom cabinet, which goes back on both sides, holds black and grays, pinks, reds, blues, greens, neutrals, oranges, yellows, purples, and scenes. I'm so happy to have the project done, it took about 10 hours all together. Now I don't have to root around to find anything.

I made us eggs and bacon for breakfast. I made mine into a taco, with the hidden valley spicy sauce. 

It's the last of February! I stayed within .4 pounds of when the month started, which isn't terrible, but not great. I only read 2 books this month, which is low for me. I got a lot of another scrapghan finished, two strands double crochet with an H hook. I'll run out of scrap yarn before it's done, so it'll get put away for a while.
