Does anyone else set their alarm on weekends? I mean, I do, but I don't know why since I'm up most days between 5-6:00 AM regardless of said alarm or not. This morning... Bailee and I rolled out of bed and started the day with some coffee (me obviously, not her) while updating the blog, but then put some plans in mind for the day of putzing.
There is something to be said about a great "putzing" schedule! With 💙blue still in mind from SoScrappy's Rainbow Scrap challenge, the set-aside box of left over 1" strips from the Omigosh quilt was dug through. Plenty of blues and neutrals remained, and these tiny units are crazy adorable.
And WHY do we wait so long before changing our blades? Or, maybe you don't... I shouldn't assume.
Always on the hunt for a deal, after Christmas, I stopped in at JoAnn's on the search for some replacement blades (and a cutting mat) knowing they would be needed soon. #STICKERSHOCK at the pricetags! I passed up all options and not having many more shopping options in our area, I went off to peruse Amazon. These titanium-coated blades were found after a fair amount of searching, reading reviews, repeat. The reviews for THESE seemed decent, so the purchase was made. My goodness! The ol' adage 'you get what you pay for' went by the wayside. I've been quite impressed!! Besides, being a frugal ol' fuddy-duddy, TEN blades for the fraction of a price elsewhere has been quite impressive! I have another set in the cart for when I place my next purchase of Bailee's treats.
Walker's quilt definitely needed to be on the agenda today. I'm going the easy way out by edging it with simple borders. Two smaller inner borders were added today before closing up shop; next week the final set (or two) will be added. It's currently 89"x89" and is intended for a king size bed. I think I'll be shooting for 105"x105"; this post back in July has certainly been helpful on how the different sizes fit a king size bed.
As hoped, Bailee and I hit the snow-covered roads for a run as well. The day TRULY has been quite nice, all things kept in perspective that we live in NW Wisconsin. No wind, low teens, and dressed for the weather, we set off to complete a 5K training run. However, we were both feeling pretty good, so we turned it into a 5-miler. Can she get a whoop-woop!?!
A few weeks back, some snow-boots were purchased for her and she's taken to them like a fish to water.
Post-run snack of choice: Greek yogurt with apple slices. We still have probably 2-dozen apples left downstairs in the root cellar from our harvest back in October. [the January update of that process] The apples are showing some dehydration with their skins, but inside they are still crisp -n- juicy!
I'm off to fry up some taco meat for a Taco Bar potluck the 7-12 staff is hosting tomorrow for school.
Then tonight... full intentions of putting the feet up, turning on the Super Bowl (most likely background noise), and will turn out a few rows on the Sky, Sand & Sea scrap afghan.

ReplyDeleteVISIT THE HACK ANGELS FOR RECOVERING OF YOUR LOST CRYPTO
ReplyDeleteI never imagined I would find myself in a situation like this. I lost about $815,000 to a fake cryptocurrency trading platform a few weeks back after I got lured into the trading platform with the attempt of earning a 25% profit daily trading on the platform. I thought it was a legitimate cryptocurrency platform, only to find out that it was all a scam. I was devastated, not just because of the financial loss, but also because I had trusted the platform and the people behind it. I felt lost and betrayed. I had to confide in a close friend of mine who then introduced me to this crypto recovery expert THE HACK ANGELS. I contacted them and they were able to completely recover my stolen funds back.
