OOPSEY

I have been known to dye my hair, it turned snow white at 40

I have not died it since the May wedding so....I remembered thinking I hit the jackpot at Biglots last year- boxes of hair dye $4 instead of $9and I left a considerable number here.

SO tonight was the night........except.................I forgot to tell hubby

Halfway through the 10 minute wait I decided to inform him he was soon to be in company of a " hot blonde"

I entered the room, hair lathered in colors of browns and blondes and hoping no green as the dye had been in the trailer all summer. My hair is gooped up in two clumps resembling devil horns- as only I can do because of my short hair. Wrapped in my robe I stated . |DADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the devil made me do it!! I should warn you that I am dying my hair and should this turn out green I will don your hat and you will be at Walgreens looking for black hair dye. If it falls out better start checking the online wig sales for long blonde wigs, you know the kind with the long locks curled and overstates, like Dolly Parton!

Obviously I was having a good time with my performance and hubby , smiled and rolled his eyes- yep he said life is never a dull moment with me around. As I decided I better skiddaddle into the shower to rinse my locks hubby warned me the water pressure was down, as our filter was a little old. I was thankfull I got rinsed off fine and did not have to streak down the lane to the public showers! What a site that would be.....................

One more security blanket

Everyone needs a snuggly blankey


I looked at the cable pattern and thought I would rewrite it, why do I do this!!
I though I wanted a combination between a waffle weave and a cable and here it is.. The afghan is about 6' in length so at least one should have warm feet. I probably have 30 hours of work into it, I went through a dry spell literally when I ran out of yarn............ Then once I got the second skein on I went. My new problem>>> you got it left overs, maybe I will knitt socks to go with it!

It's a hard job but someone has to do it!

Remember the days before refrigerators that auto defrosted?
The RV fridge doesn't have that little component so instead it is me.
Once the freezer is scraped I then boil up two pots of water. With fridge and freezer empty the boiling pots go into their key spots, the doors are shut and yes the power is turned off. Twenty minutes later I open up everything and there we are clean as a whistle. I dump the water in the collector tray below the elements in the fridge and we are set to reload!!!!

Hmm wonder where the ice cream is??

sliding into first base........

Wrong sport!!

I was golfing when all of a sudden between greens I took a misstep.
I put out my hands as if to stop the fall, then thinking that was an invitation for a broken arm I quickly pulled my arms to my chest. At least my boobs would be protected. HAHA SO don't I slide on my shoulder roll around in the dirt and spring up.Hoping no one would see me literally bite the dust!! I was safe, not a soul around. I was so close to the baseball diamond I could always say I was practicing for a home run and did not quite have that " slide into base" perfected

I dusted my self off, looked for evidence of red ants on my pants- boy those little Bugg**s sure bite. And continued I have taken the wipe out on hole 3 thank goodness as I was half hidden by folliage.....

My last early am shopping

These are pics of the traffic as I headed home from my Friday USA thanksgiving purchases and then as I laid out my bounty. Wonder what I will make next?



   

 

When it is hot it is hot baby...........................

I innocently was growing green peppers, or so I thought.. There was one description missing from the tag it should have been " bell green pepper" not just green pepper. WELL the adjective of the day is HOT GREEN PEPPER. WHOE BABY................ Now for those of you who have quit laughing. Please send recipes for my peppers. To those of you who feel sorry for me and my blistering lips- send remedies..........

I Survived

Black Friday!!

I was up at the crack of dawn and out the door by 5:15 am. On my to Home depot with a list. The doors opened at 5 am and I was sure I would be overrun by shoppers. As I entered the store the meet and greet team met with with candy canes, an offer of donuts and coffee and a map of where each item was. I was not able to locate one item and the Home Depot Assistant, walked me by the hand right to the item. Oh how I love self serve checkout as I skimmed past it and onto my next sale of the day

joann's fabrics was now open with a line up outside of about 20 ladies at 6 am. The ladies were well behaved as we careened through the line up of fabric. My thought was to buy full bolts of material rather than fight for the cutting table, I was out the door in a mere 20 minutes

Upon returning home at 7 am. I found hubby with coupons that he had clipped. We went to the store in search of his sale items also with a coupon. WE ended up with his new shoes, all Xmas gifts and a new credit card which saved me another 20% off. Needless to say it was a great day!

I guess I will be curbed from shopping for at least a few days!

For the Love of Qulting

http:www.centralfloridamqg.blogspot.com/

I joined a Modern Quilting guild some 20 minutes away For those of you who don't have any knowledge of this type of guild I have enclosed the webpage. Just to be on a roll, I have joined the challenge.I have to construct a quilt on the guidelines of "Modern Quilting" with a newage fabric, then blog about it and finish it. Once finished and blogged I get to keep it fabric and all for my participation. Now what should I do???I will receive the fabric in December so I have loads of time to think and research


Only problem is it is hard to teach this old dog new tricks.HAHA

Gardener Jane

Wonder how long until Ihave fresh veggies, the green pepper is really busting out and the tomatoes are multipling now if only they would rippen and let me gobble them before the rabbit gets to them!

Recycle or BUST

  I had a purse that was well loved, I purchased a few pieces of upholstery sample swatches, recycled the handles and inner zippers and added pockets on the side now I have a oh so roomy purse! Grand total $6

 

 

Just one more

I had a number of triangles left from other quilting projects, low and behold I had enough to make a double sized quilt top but I really needed a queen sized quilt. With 4 extra yards of fabric-- a lot of gold and swirly fabric that I got for 50% off I finished the quilt.

So wouldn't you know I have a few scraps - I think I will cut and strip them to make the bias tape trim, oh and lets all hope I have no left overs!!

One little pepper

Here I am praying over my new pepper plant in 2 days it has growing larger. I am now trying to protect it from that hungry little rabbit, lets see how I do..

Am I addicted?

I have been here since Oct 17th and very soon after I arrived I managed to make my way to my favorite fabric shop. It is coming onto week 3 and I haven't quite bought out the store but I have managed to make 2 full quilt tops and onto #3. Then I hope to have a little rest from sewing and perhaps pick up a knitting project........................
