Getting My Wool On

When I was planning out one of

our Mother's Day window displays,

I wanted to create a black and red themed one.

Now with the virus creating havoc,

we are not even sure 

if we will be open or not.   

Part of my red and black theme

was to create this candle mat.

I created this mostly from wool.

The pink check fabric is flannel though.

The red is a muted one in color.

The black wool has flecks of red in it,

while the other wool is a grey/ white houndstooth.

It fits perfectly with the candles 

we currently sell, creating a flower.

Perfect for Spring! 

In fact a new shipment of candles 

came in yesterday,

and I have to label them Saturday morning

when I go to the store.

What a wonderful addition

to one's home no matter what

style you have.

Last evening Bob and I took his father

to the grocery store.

I am not one to hoard food,

and like to plan my meals weekly.

Because I heard the store was getting sparse,

I just started grabbing what I could. 

Bob was doing the same.

The only meat that was there were

a few steaks and a roast.

I also grabbed shrimp, imitation crab,

turkey sausage and bacon....not what

I normally eat....but these are weird times.

I grabbed lots of  fresh veggies to freeze.

No eggs or condiments to be found.

No canned veggies and only frozen

brussel sprouts, which I bought.

I will be getting more creative 

in our meal planning.

Hopefully you are able to find what you need

at your own store.

My son told me he went to 4 different stores

near him and all were mostly empty as well.

Thankfully my daughter is set with food

 for her and the kids.

My mom reminded me that this is what

it was like during the Depression and war.

I never thought I would see this myself.

I can no longer say that.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Stay safe my friends.

Getting My Wool On Blessings ToAll!
