Menu Monday

Well, here are my menus for this week (well at least the dinner ones). We usually eat leftovers for lunch. You know those little bits that aren't enough for the two of you to have a meal, but good enough for one.

Monday

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup and Chicken Salad Sandwiches using up some of the leftover chicken in the fridge freezer.

Tuesday

Leftover Ham from the fridge freezer made into Ham and Scalloped Potatoes (I can do this in the microwave and it will not take long to get on the table....subbing this day).

Wednesday

Hotdogs, oven fries and corn on the cob.

Thursday

Leftovers, there is bound to be enough for a meal. I may switch Wednesday and Thursday plans around.

Friday

Tuna Casserole

Saturday

Perhaps out for supper using a gift card.... or  I will make Sweet and Sour Beef with rice and a salad.

Sunday

The Baked Ham that I did not do the previous Sunday as Harvey was not feeling up to eating ham....used up some of the leftover turkey in the fridge freezer instead.

Sunday Ramblings

Well the beginning of the second week of April is not starting with the nicest of weather here in Southeast Saskatchewan.

It is a misty, sleeting kind of day. You know the type. A day that is best spent in doors relaxing and wrapped up against the chill of the day.

So after lunch I headed to the library to exchange my books. Came right home and made a pot of tea, picked out a book from my selection and settled in to do a bit of reading.

A pot of tea, a good book and an afternoon to myself.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Aquiring More Fabric for Quilting or Rug Making

I decided to clean out closets this week and after my trip to the Salvation Army thought I would recycle the material from my cotton tops myself.

First I cut off all the buttons, you never know when you will need a button, right?

Then I dismantled the portions that I can use for quilting or making rag rugs (I found a neat one on Pinterest, rug I mean, that I would like to try.

I also cut up two pairs of blue jeans that no longer fit me properly. They shrunk (I did not put on a few extra pounds over the winter). The denim I will use on quilts.

Here is my stack of almost free fabric.

I am quite happy with what I ended up with.

Hey, I even found some old shirts and such that belong to Kris. If he doesn't want them, they are going to end up being used like this.

I feel very frugal today and very happy that I have some new scraps of fabric to play around with come the summer.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Bedding Plants Growing By Leaps and Bounds

About a week ago I posted pictures of some bedding plants I started in the house. My word have they ever started growing.

I have thinned the herbs out a few times, but it looks like I could do so once again.

Here are some photos of the plants as they looked today.

The Moonflowers are taking off nicely and those that weren't popping up have started to. My Basil is getting pretty tall, and the parsley is starting to get the curly leaves.

My Oregano is slowly but surely growing.

The Thyme and Sage are growing very well and thinning mus be done once again.

I am really looking forward to getting these out into their pots this year. The plants I started last year did very well on our sunny front patio. I hope they do as well this year.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Prayers For My Aunt Please

I found out a few days ago that my Aunt has just been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. I don't know what stage it is in, but I am asking all my blogging friends to pray for her and her family.

Aunt Kathy lived with us for awhile when I was very young and she had gotten a job with a bank in Toronto. We became very close during this time.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts, they are so greatly appreciated.

God bless.

Unfinished Embroidery Project

I am sure that many of you have those unfinished craft projects put away for a rainy day. I have decided that this year is that rainy day for me.

I pulled out the table cloth I had started years ago (back in 2008 I believe) and have slowly but surely working on getting it done. It is a lot of work, and there are times I want to bundle it back up and put it away, but this project will be completed.

Here are a few pictures of it.

I am working on the third corner of the cloth, just one more corner to go after this one is done. I seem to be slowing down a bit though.

Each corner has 2 bouquets, one a bit smaller than the other. Then there is a small bouquet in the center of each side.

Here is a picture of one of the finished corners.

This is a picture of one of the small bouquets on each side.

Now it wouldn't be too bad if I only had these to do, but in the center......

There is this large oval of even more flowers to embroider!!!

I hope to get the whole cloth done by the end of the month, this after a month of working on it already.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
