not too exciting …….

I’m hoping to blog almost daily and I’ve been somewhat busy but it’s not too interesting written down, 

but here goes

Saturday,  we had a big pile of laundry.  A little dog was our houseguest last week so we had a bit more laundry than usual.  

I’m pretty particular about  sorting laundry ( and nobody is going to change my mind on this). 

So I sorted and got it started.  

8 loads later,  it was all done.  Our bed was made with clean sheets and blankets and all the laundry was put away.  

I made a big salad and peeled a pound of carrots,  the carrots are for snacking or will be cooked with a meal.  
At supper time,  my husband went to Chipotle and got a build your own bundle.  

It was delicious and we’ve been eating it ever since.  

In the sewing room,  I’ve been working on strip quilt blocks.  I want to make 2 matching quilts for our guest room with 2 twin beds.  

I finished 1 quilt top in 2025.  I hope to sew all the blocks for the second quilt and then fully finish both quilts, maybe this month.  

We will see.

2 big meals and a crazy shopping event

Hello 

To start off the year, we cooked our traditional meal Black Eyed Peas, rice, cabbage, ham, and cornbread.

There were seven of us here to eat

Today,  I made breakfast for 5 as 3 grands slept over.  

15 year old Elizabeth spent most of her time here working on a little scrapbook project for a friends birthday. 

we weren’t sure how to put the pages together in a book and I had read online that Hobby Lobby’s Christmas clearance went to 90% off this morning.

so we went to Hobby lobby in hopes of finding something to bind the pages together or to get a small photo album to put the pages in. 

They opened at 9 AM

We got there at 11 AM

I think all these serious clearance shoppers got there at 9 AM.  

I kind of glanced at what was left in the Christmas aisles, there was not much left and a good bit of what was there was broken. 

The lady at the front of this line had at least three carts of Christmas clearance.

By the time we checked out, she had been loading her purchases into her little car for a while. And apparently all of her purchases would not fit in her car as she was pushing one of the shopping carts still full of her  clearance purchases back into Hobby lobby. We guess she was going to try to leave them there while she went home and unloaded her car.

That’s a lot of shopping!

All we bought was one Purse size photo album.

And if I ever think I need 90% off Hobby lobby Christmas Clearance, I will plan ahead and get there at 9 AM. 

But I probably will not ever go there again to Hobby lobby on January 2, the day they traditionally mark everything 90% off

So, did any of y’all go out bargain shopping?

If you did, I hope you found what you wanted

I don’t think I needed a single thing on the Christmas markdowns anyway.
