In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Happy Stuff


I KNOW!  Two posts in one day!  I gotta tell ya some stuff. 
Happy stuff.
So.... I started feeling better and got out for the first time since Sunday.  
And no I don't take the flu shot. I might when I get old.  Then when they say on TV, "If you or a loved one has died from the flu shot that was given 20 years ago, call Kellar and Kellar and see how you are eligible for a settlement...blah blah blah."  That's just me.  Nothing against people that take it and if my immune system were more compromised I probably would take it.  But I'm gonna give them 20 years to find out all the bad stuff about it first.  I'll hold off as long as I can anyway.  
And jeeeeesh this is not what I wanted to post about.
I'm a rambling....
So while laying (or lieing) around I got to thinking....maybe it wasn't my camera that was bad.  Maybe it was my batteries, not charging.  I mean I charged them, and the light 'said' they were charged, but maybe....and I recharged my already charged batteries and viola!  My old camera is working again.  I didn't care much for the new one I bought.  It took too long for the shutter to close and my pics were blurry.  I wanted a point and shoot. 
So I took the new one back.  Which is now on sale for $40.00 less!  Which really honks me off.  I hate this time of year when you can make a paycheck just returning already purchased items because they are now on sale.
So I got my money back, did a few more errands and came home and there was a package waiting for me!

A t-shirt!  

From My Sister's friend - Christy.  Who I guess she is my friend too.  But she's really my sister's friend.  And btw Theresa, Christy said..."See, I'm the better sister!" (talking about herself...you know....being better....than you maybe....or just  nicer....ahem....anyway)
 Is this the coolest t-shirt!

What else...there were three things....OH yeah - so after opening the t-shirt I get a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Cindy this is Candace.  I'm sorry to take so long to get back with you.  Joe said he could take a look at your computer if you can drop it off sometime this weekend!"
  WOOHOO!!!!!  These people are in my new neighborhood....sort of....a few miles away which I guess is kind of the neighborhood when you live in the country, huh?  And they are our wifi suppliers and I HIGHLY recommend them if you move into my neighborhood.  Our wifi has NEVER gone out...in the entire month that we've had it.   And I was actually on my way to (big store) to have someone look at my computer tonight, but I saw my Aunt and Uncle outside and stopped by to visit and then ran out of time.  And I said to myself....Self...I just don't have a good feeling about taking my computer to big store tonight so I'm not going to do it.  And then I get a phone call.  So peeps, sometimes you need to listen to that inner voice telling you to.....cheeeeeck the batteries....again....don't take the computer to big store.....listen to me....

Anyway, I am going to be computerless for a few days.  I'll be visiting you through my phone...but might not be commenting.  Keep your fingers crossed my computer can be fixed.

Chat later!

PS - Our humane society is in need of towels and washable blankets. Please help if you live in my town.  And peeps in other towns, keep your humane society in mind this time of year.  They don't get a lot of money for things like that and our four legged friends need to be warm.

Crocheted Coin Purse

 Last night at crochet the Granny Bee wanted to change things up a bit.  So, she brought these clasps for all of us, and Groovy Girl threw in some yarn, and voila'!  We made the cutest coin purses.  I just finished mine and I was so excited I had to show you.

 Think of the possibilities.....you could embroider on it, or put a crocheted flower on it, or any kind of flower, or a button or two, or put someones initials on it for a Christmas present......
 the would make excellent Christmas presents.
 Which reminds me, I would like to remind everyone to try to shop at the little stores this year.  The ones owned by local people trying to make a living in your own town.  And shop hand made if you can. There are so many bazaars, craft shows, open houses, etc. this time of year that you could get your shopping done early.  Or buy gift certificates at the little stores.  Or make something yourself, like this cute little coin purse!

PS - Still taking pictures with my cell phone.  Sorry....believe me, if you know me, you know I miss my camera.  But guess what.....I can't get anyone at those BIG stores to help me that know anything about cameras.   Does anyone get trained anymore in those stores?  Do they even care who they hire?  Because I'll tell you what....those kids working in those stores sure don't care about me and the fact that I don't have a camera.......jeeeeeez
