Sewing, meals and a big yard sale haul- really long post

One of my April goals was to sew these 15 pairs of sleeping shorts.  I did finish them and they came in very handy. 
Our son in law had to go to Washington D.C. for work, it was a 5 day trip over a weekend and our daughter was able to go too. 
Their 3 children didn’t go.  They have 2 other sets of grandparents who helped with them and we had them for 3 overnight stays.  
They children loved picking out their shirts and shorts at bedtime and I didn’t have to fiddle with matching them all up.  


These 3 love fruit so we made 2 fruit trays before they got here.  These made meal time so easy- I just needed to add a main course and vegetable.  





For one meal when their great grandparents also joined us,  I baked a simple layer cake.  It was a big hit.  
Cake makes a meal more like a party.  




More Kitchen doings——-

A sandwich box and as soon as I make it,  my husband made himself a sandwich.   



This supper started out as a head of cabbage, some leftover baked potatoes and smoked pork from the freezer. 

It’s not a pretty meal but it was delicious- stir fried cabbage, hash browns and pork. 


This meal was Salmon patties, sautéed fresh spinach and baked sweet potato cubes. 



Pigs in a blanket, Caesar salad and fruit - 


We’ve ate one watermelon this spring and it was so good - it was a seedless one from Aldi.  I’ve since bought a second one and I hope it’s the same. 




My son and I went to 3 rummage sales early this morning.  We bought most of this at a church sale, it was so organized and priced low.  


He got the stool for $5 and the cow painting for .25

At a different sale, I got the 3 big things- $3 scooter, $5 shopping buggy, $5 riding toy and  the .25 tool box was at the church sale.  

Look how much the tiger riding toy sells for on Amazon 😳


These metal kitchen things are mostly for sandbox toys.  Our sweet puppy has been chewing on the plastic sandbox toys but I don’t think he can chew up these. Most of them were .05 each except the 2 bigger pans were .50


The square is a Pampered Chef stoneware baking dish .50
I think the Oneida pottery clover canister will look for St. Patrick’s Day. 

More miscellaneous 

And more- the box of beads has so many beads in it. 
I’ve looked at the Operation game but it may be a dud- the parts are so so tiny.  


The basket and 2 big planters were .75 each
The big bowl was .50 and I think the whisk broom was .10.  

 2 pair of like new shorts for a grandson .50 each 

And 8 crocheted dish cloths- never used- for .10 each 

Ducky got a .25 Olaf toy 



I hope all of you are fine  and that you liked seeing what I’ve been sewing, cooking and buying.
