February recap

Hello,  thank you to all who left sweet welcome back comments.  
February went by in a blur.  That crazy cold I got in January continued to hang around for a good portion of the February.
Grandchildren were sick at different times with Flu A, strep, ear infections. 
My dad fell on an icy sidewalk and gave us all a very big scare but thankfully his injuries were not too bad. 
My wisdom teeth are gone and that was actually one of the easier medical things - afterward I had zero pain, bleeding and swelling.  I’m still amazed it was so easy.  

I have lots of crafts supplies, including a storage tub of plastic canvas yarn.  I pulled out a gallon bag of yarn scraps from that tub and started making coasters.  I loosely followed some online patterns and have really had fun making them,  it’s just a relaxing sewing with not too much concentration required.  I plan to make more as I still have so much yarn.  


Fabric sewing in February was mostly doll clothes.  
I made wrap skirts and t shirts for 3 American Girl type dolls.  
The 3 dollies also got nightgowns,  
I used free printable patterns found on Pinterest for all the clothes.  
For the 3 shirts,  I used 1 pair of girls white leggings bought on clearance for $1.  


And I made potholders with some 1970s looking fabric.  






Our bargain of the month was at a big grocery store in Oklahoma City called Crest.  
We like to have sausage and eggs for breakfast.  Good breakfast sausage is normally close to $4 a roll.  
This sale was so good,  we bought 30 rolls and they will stay in our upright freezer as we use them over the next 6 months or so.  

After a several month break,  I’ve started coupon shopping at CVS again.  I’ll post the new deals as I do them.  


This was at Andie’s birthday party last night. 
The restaurant serves chocolate piñatas and it was a very fun experience, especially for the 9 children attending.  






On the publishing app I’m using, I’m not sure the video is going to show up when I push publish.  If it doesn’t include,  I’ll try to figure out a plan B.  
The piñata was quite fun.  I was disappointed the chocolate part seemed to be a very low quality Chocolate.  My daughter likes to make fancy desserts and she is planning to make a version at home for a future party.  
But regardless of what I thought of that chocolate,  there was no dessert left after 9 children and 9 adults all ate.  So it tasted AOK to the rest of the guests. 

Hope you all have a good rest of your weekend 
❤️ 
And thank you for visiting today

March 1




I’m sorry I haven’t blogged much this winter- I want to get back to it. 
This is kind of a test post as my previous post had tiny pictures instead of the full size ones I prefer.  

If this works right,  I’ll be back tomorrow. 

Happy March 1 everyone.  Today is our granddaughter Andie’s 7th birthday 🎂
