2 days in September

Hello everyone 

It took 3 sewing sessions but I finished the pair of pillowcases.  

I do like this burrito sewing method and plan to sew more. 

Search on YouTube or Pinterest and you will find many tutorials on how to do this 

Meals this week so far 

      

I cooked the second half of that package of cube steak. I added a sliced onion and a sliced bell pepper. The sauce was 1 beef broth, thickened with 1T cornstarch, also some soy sauce and just a little bit of brown sugar. It was delicious! 

The other meal is some leftover lentil chili with some leftover corn. It was good too. 


My daughter has been wanting something from dollar tree that she saw on Instagram. So I have a several trips to dollar tree looking for them.

What she wants is probably in the store but , it’s just in these boxes that are not getting unpacked very fast at all. 

What a big job that little store staff has!

And yes, I did walk by and read the labels on some of the boxes to see if I could see the wire pumpkin wreath frames that she is looking for. I couldn’t find them, and I certainly couldn’t look at every box.

I take a walk outside most every morning.

Wasn’t this sunrise beautiful?

I’ve had my walk today, but so far not much else. 

I need to get busy now!

Hope you all have a great day

Starting off September

Hello everyone 

It’s getting closer to autumn but it’s still 100% summer in Oklahoma.  The heat is exhausting so I mostly stay inside, in air conditioning and do quiet things in the heat of the day.  

I didn’t make an actual to do list for this week.  I did the big housework over the weekend-floors bathrooms, laundry.  

So I’ll just do housework as needed this week.  

I needed a few groceries so I went to a Walmart- what was I thinking?  If you’ve read my blog, you know I like to do grocery pickup from Walmart and delivery from Kroger.  

Today’s trip convinced me that pickup and delivery suit me best too!  

Cook something

I made a double batch of energy balls - these have mini chocolate chips- and will be eaten in school lunches by some of the grands.

I took a package of cube steaks from the freezer but it was much too much beef for my husband and I for 1 meal.

So, I cut about half of it into cubes for tonight’s beef stew and cut the other half into strips for a meal later this week- maybe fajitas or pepper steak

The beef stew tonight was delicious !

 

Sew Something

Mrs. Laura Lane said on her blog that September is national sewing month.  

I’ve been decluttering my sewing room over the last week but today,  I started a new project.

Have you heard of the 15 minute or burrito style pillowcase sewing method?  

If you look on YouTube or Pinterest,  you’ll see many tutorials.  

We need new pillowcases for our bed so I got started on a pair.  

2 cut out pillowcases and one of them pinned and ready to start sewing.  

It may only take 15 minutes for an experienced pillow case maker to sew them.  But it took me 30 minutes to iron and cut out my pieces-  

Hopefully I can sew them both up tomorrow 

A few Grandchildren updates

Gavin and Braeden raise dairy cattle.  During our local county fair, they were featured on a morning news show.  They did a great job talking to the host.  

Gavin, 14, is our oldest grandchild.

Braeden is 11

This is our youngest grand.  

She was on a weekend trip.  

Her parents ordered her ice cream for dessert and the restaurant treated her to cotton candy as well.  

Fun photo, right? 😂😂😂

And no, she did not eat all that sugar herself.  




Hope you all have had a good Monday
