Rummage sale finds, surgery for a grand and Sprouts

good afternoon,  

Thanks for the hints on my comment situation.  I mostly blog on an iPad but I will go to our desktop and see if that solves the problem.

Terri- I did try deleting my google plus account and that didn’t fix it yet, but I’ll keep trying.  

Again, thanks for all the advice

2 of our grands are out of school today and they spent the night here. 

We went to a benefit rummage sale at a nearby church. 

The Stand and salon chair were $1 each - an amazing bargain for 18 inch doll accessories

The doll is mine that I use as a mannequin when I sew doll clothes.  She is wearing an exercise outfit that I made from my shirt I never wore.  

We found all these like new American Girl books for .50 each. 

The big Tupperware tray seems to be in the brand new condition. 

The pampered chef meat forks are very heavy duty and something my husband has been wanting. 

He also got a like new contractor grade hoe 

I wanted another set of s&p shakers and I think these Crystal ones will be just fine.  


Near ball toss toy was $3.

It didn’t come with balls so I sewed some up super fast,  using old child socks and beans,  

   

This grandson has had a  rough fall and winter with 6 bought of strep. So, he had his tonsils and adenoids removed yesterday.  He had a restless, uncomfortable night but is doing better today.  

He perked up when he saw his siblings and he started happily playing with this ball toss toy.  


Sprouts sent another coupon this morning.  It had great deals on avocados, bell peppers and walnuts. 

I liked the chicken deal- boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.77. 

They were regular priced at $3.99

I put one pack in the crockpot and I’ll shred and freeze it for future meals. 

The others were laid out on lined and sprayed cookie sheets and put in the freezer.  When their frozen solid, I’ll bag them in large freezer bags.  Then I can just thaw out how many I need. 

Have a good weekend everyone ❤️

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?
