She is like me, in that she can't just sit and do nothing during her  "down time"  (what little of that she has).

This beautiful scarf is mine - all mine !

I Am Craving.......

As I sit her typing, it is 29 degrees with a wind chill of 18, and  sleeting.  I am craving  this type of view outside my door....

Spring 2009

Spring 2010

 I am craving  certain foods lately also.  Take my word - No !!! I am NOT expanding my family!!!

I know what the problem is - I have to restrict certain things in my diet and I eventually start craving them - especially salty foods.

One in particular,  a hot pastrami on rye with  brown mustard and a couple of barrel cured   dill pickles.
Many moons ago (in the middle ages), I use to have one on occasion for lunch at a small deli that had some wonderful food.   I have not had that in so many years, mainly due to the salt content.  But for some reason I have been craving it lately and not sure I know of a good place to get one  now.
Watched a  show on the food channel a while back that featured a place serving hot pastrami sandwiches that had 2 1/2 to 3 ins. or more of pastrami on the sandwich - nope!  I just want a normal sandwich with a stack about a inch high on rye, with a bit of a good brown mustard and of course,  a crock of barrel cured pickles on the table.  That will do just fine.....

 Another craving I have had lately - A small hole in the wall type lunch/grill place I went to frequently for lunch many years ago,  had a wonderful, grilled hot dog.  Actually it was like a combination of smoked sausage and hot dog, with  just a bit of coleslaw and yellow mustard, and  served with the barrel cured  dills.  Two different cities, years apart but the memories are there.
And the wonderful stuffed lobster  dinner I had  about a week before I had my first child and guess what was sitting on the table?!?  A crock full of barrel cured dill pickles on the table !!  Got up the next morning with swollen fingers and ankles.
See a pattern here ??  Those great pickles - well the other food also!

Yep! Craving  the kind of things I should not eat.

Oh and see that ray of sunshine in the top right corner...

Spring 2010

I am craving a healthy dose of that also !!

Just another Dab of This and That ramble......
Have a great week!

Nope - Have Not Lost My Marbles -

Yet.......
To cold to get out and not interested in doing housework - What to do!?!
Get the jewelry supplies out!  Yes - they have been missing for a while...
I have had good intentions for some time to "attempt"  to make pendants/necklaces out of some vintage, cats eye marbles that have a family connection, and decided it was a good time to start the project.  First you have to set up an assembly line of gluing  bead caps to the marbles.   Then you clean up the mess, peel the glue off your fingers,  and  wait 24 hours before you can work with the marbles with their bead caps attached.....

Added a couple of yellow ones and a white one to the mix.  Others will have to wait, as ran out of the right kind of bead caps, and was not interested in getting out in the cold.  Then the fun begins and things really get messy

Cloudy day (good excuse), so pictures not that great....

 

 

The project is more one of assembling the necklaces instead of designing, and  not a lot of bling involved due to most of the ages of the recipients.

So what do you do when it is to cold to play outside and don't want to work around the house?

Dreaming of Spring!

Why the picture of wild violets, when 2 - 4 ins. of snow is predicted during the night/early morning ?  Just to remind myself  that Spring will be here before long - I hope.......

I feel sure many of you in the land of blog are saying "couple inches of snow - what is the big deal"?  Around here, that small amount sends many into a tail spin, and in a panic to get to the store for that "gotta have loaf of bread, milk and other necessities such as junk food, etc.".  Of course being Christmas night, that may really send some into a panic mode, as most places closed early today, so hopefully most will have enough holiday treats to tied them over.  :-D  Christmas decor still out and here I am looking forward to Spring and warmer temps.

Hard to believe in a few more days, we will be starting a new year.  As I said long ago - I don't make resolutions!     However, in the upcoming year I hope to get more accomplished, and start thinking about future plans.  If you read along much, you know I am always mentioning the infamous "L" word.  Well - One of my goals is to redo those "L's", make my priorities and get more done, than to just "think/talk" about what I need/want to do.  Hopefully, I will get certain things accomplished to a point, where I can get some much needed repairs/updates done next Spring.  Of course I would get more accomplished if I spent less time on the computer, but then I would miss surfing around the land of blog and seeing what all the creative/talented bloggers have been up to lately.   Sigh - Decisions, decisions !

My main family get together is still to come due to other schedules and travel times.
Hope everyone has been enjoying the Holidays

ETA:  12/26/12 -  Did not get the 2 to 4 inches predicted - just a heavy dusting, which is fine with me...

 Picture I took last Winter, but if I took one of the same spot this morning, it would be almost identical. To cold to go out and take one this morning as it is 30 degrees (feels like 20) as I type this update.

Creativity Going On.....

but not at my house!
Remember this sweet face.....
Well, he resides in a home where all this is going on....
Do you think his owner likes a "certain team" ? :-D

I was told the "furbaby"  does not bother the tree or packages.  It seems that a  certain "little, red haired, cupid" (won't mention any names) is the one that has to be watched.
Yes - in case you are wondering! That is a big, red, pretty cabinet .

Sorry for the blurry pics  - daughter sent them from her phone.

Speaking of the "little, red haired, cupid" - she is sporting her new hair clip her Mother made for her.

 Hey Mom!! Got a bit of bling to tuck inside that flower ?!?

Think she said the yarn she used for this scarf is called fruit salad...

 No real creativity going on at my place right now, so thought I would share what is happening at the "little, red haired cupid's"  abode.
