Tolentreasures

Happily sitting over a humming sewing machine, finishing up some gift bags that I found started in a stash, (thanks, Kim) I was rudely dragged away grabbing projects as I left.  You see, with the cold snap, the Heat Nazi, otherwise know as JWS, has decided that until it warms up, I am not allowed to sew.  His words, "You have enough other places to craft in this house, you are out of here until it warms up...we are not heating this room!' The nerve! I guess I will paint. No idea what to do with the white cupboard doors in the  new stash, and even more puzzling was the beadboard ones, I tried this.  And a mailbox bank for a customer.   And...I guess I can still knit until it warms up. Although, I have to fix a bowling glove thing for my son-in-law this morning, Where is my winter coat? Can I really sew with mittens on?

Our Sunday Lunch Menu consists of Mixed Green Salad Sun-Dried Tomato Bread with Artichoke Bruschetta topping (my contribution) Crispy Skinned Baked Potato Gorgonzola Bread Crumb Encrusted Delmonico Steaks Cabernet Sauvignon DELICIOUS! The steaks were done is a cast iron skillet, browned and then finished in the oven. They were perfect. Nothing better than a cooking husband! Why didn't I start all this handwork months ago instead of sitting and knitting every evening. I would have had it all done! Well, not this. My Mom just mentioned about two weeks ago that she would like a penny rug for on the back of her commode. I took the plunge and cut it out Saturday, we'll see if it gets done. And this is the start of Gracelyn's stocking for at home. It does not need done for Christmas though so I am not working as hard on it, although this little scarf that I am knitting for on the snowman is fascinating. I am hoping that I can knit the front of a little stocking cap to sew on ...
