Evelyn’s new bedspread

Evelyn was given a pile of fleece blankets and she remembered this older post from me where I made our bedspread from fleece blankets

And then she made her own.  

I think it turned out great and really suits her Texas lifestyle.  

She blogs at  

Blessed in Bowie.

She is a thrifty, creative and upbeat woman and she lives not too far from where I grew up in Texas.   

So, we pretty much share the same accent 😊 

Thursday cooking and crafts

My versions of batch cooking- one crockpot has chicken breasts in broth.  

The other one has a roast that we will eat for supper and share with my parents.  

The chicken was shredded and saved for future recipes. 

The veggies have been peeled and are in the crockpot with the roast now.  

I also made a sandwich box. It’s  a 3 layer Tupperware deli keeper that I got at a thrift store years ago.  

My husband and son especially like that we most always have sandwich fixings ready so they can make quick sandwiches. 

About carrot tops,  they are edible but they may be bitter.  I really don’t like bitter so I won’t be eating them,  

I pulled out these rainbow, string pieces I quilt squares I made several years ago and planned to start sewing them together.  They were stacked neatly and pressed, but they were not trimmed.  So my sewing time was spent trimming them all. 

Maybe tomorrow I’ll start sewing them together.  

I have oodles of jewelry supplies, passed to me from my mom, so I made 3 simple bracelets this afternoon.  I think I’ll like them for spring.  

I still cannot comment on any blog even though I tried signing in and out, changing settings, restarting, etc. 

This is what it looks like when I try to comment, I can’t get it to let me sign in,  and when I do go ahead and leave a comment,  they just disappear into cyber space.  

Any suggestions?
