So Busy.....hurry, hurry

Where has the time gone?? I had every intention of getting right back to you and now it's been days and here I am sitting and blogging with very little time left in the day.
Shame on me for not being better organized. Well it is Sunday so don't be too hard on me.

Craft day with Sarah didn't fly. She has applied to be on the state's artist roster and this involves meetings and seminars and workshops. Crafting was canceled but,
we had supper together and she was able to tell us all about her adventures. The morning started with SNOW which had us worrying since she had a 2 hr drive and has a not so perfect sense of direction .Of course as she stated we had nothing to worry about. We sat down to a simple supper of hamburger, our first dinner from our local meat source Everyone thought it was great and I must sent kudos to our supplier. After hearing all about Sarah's adventures of the day we parted with plans to see her at her dance performance on Saturday. Well let me tell you that was pretty impressive if I do say so.They collaborated with a gospel group and provided us with a full evening of "I feel so good I could cry" moments. Sarah choreographed the first and final acts. The opener I had seen but the finally was a first time for me. It was great .......being the mum I'm a little prejudice but all around me seemed genuine in their enthusiasm.

I did manage to get 2 more tea napkins finished They should show up on Sarah's Etsy shop soon. How do you like them?????? Not too dark for tea and cookies? I hope not. I also made pesto rolls. I used a normal recipe for white bread.It makes 2 loaves so I made 1 and with the other half I made clover rolls with pesto. Just make three balls of dough and place them in a muffin tin let rise for the second time and drizzle with pesto and now you have 1loaf of bread and 12 lovely rolls which should taste great with just about anything. Chanpignon seems to approve as he is singing the praises of the pesto. Well done................Said the hobbit

I'm a two timer


All right!!! I'm on a role now. These are my tea towels . I thought I had lost the pictures but by a miracle I found them again. The towels are 16 by 16 and make any tea time special. I am working on a few more color schemes, but, this is the one that was ready for the post. Hope you like it.
Today was a busy day, the hubby and #2 son went down to West Virginia for a job interview. It would be a transfer and a new outlook for him so, we are hoping for the best. We of course would like him to stay in N.E. and suffer through the bitter cold like the rest of us. He feels ready for a new challenge. He's old enough to lead his own life so we will go with the flow. He must follow his muse as they say. Of course they felt it was imperative to be on the road by 5 am. I have to say my family does not know the meaning of "walk softly" it was like a herd of elephants going up and down the stairs. Only 2 people were leaving but, I swear I was awakened 4 times and told "We're leaving now" I sweetly replied
"have a safe trip" when I really wanted to say "so go already" Poor babies I think they were a little nervous about this adventure. Within a short time I had to get up and give Zack a ride to work.Zack is the grandchild.Then off to my daughter's for coffee , shopping and lunch. Oh, also a few errands that hubby wanted me to do for him. I'm finally back home and thought I'd give those missing photos a look-see again and that's where I'm at right now.Didn't want to take a chance on losing them again so I thought it best to post now.
Although I still can't see my yard I am thinking about that garden. Laurie,a new blogging friend, is sending me some heirloom tomato seed from her seed saver stash. I can't wait to get them started. Also in the works are rhubarb and asparagus, hopefully a few different lettuces , beans to dry some hubbard squash and 2 more things that I've yet to decide on. It won't be corn. That crop is the biggest on the farm where I work. Farmer Will doesn't believe in having day old corn for sale so, it's a veggie we get to take home almost nightly.
Well sleepless in N.H. is catching up to me. I'd better head out to the bunkhouse and take a nappy,yawned the Hobbit.
