Maker's Monday

Hello friends.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

For those who asked,

Maker's Monday is something 

I just made up for blog posts.

When the Polar Vortex hit,

I decided to get out my crochet hook,

some yarn and ribbon.

Remember not a pink fan,

but I have customer's who are.

This was the color taking the yarn from

 inside the skein which I prefer to start with.

I started with two rows 

which mimic a granny square.

Then the third row made the heart shape.

Added the ribbon for hanging if you choose to.

This was the color on the outside of the skein.

I packaged these with three to a cello bag.

Hang them on your Valentine tree,

a cabinet door or wherever you choose.

Next I took this antique coverlet

piece I had.

With some leftover linen,

stitched the words Be Mine.

Do you see where my mind is?

Why Valentine's Day for sure.

Stitched into a small pillow.

Sewed on the stitch piece.

So sweet for my primitive customers.

All already have gone to the store.

In other news.

last Thursday when I walked out the door

to go to work...we had freezing rain overnight.

My car doors were stuck.

I tried desperately to get the driver's side open.

No avail...but did manage to get

the passenger side to open.

I then had to crawl over my console to

get to the driver's side.

If anyone would have seen me..

it would have been a funny sight for sure.

Then ten minutes into my drive,

the door ajar light came on and my inside

car lights also came on.

I had to pull over and open my door

and close it right away.

Then it started freezing rain again.

Again 10 minutes more into my drive,

I had to pull over and scrape the ice off

my windshield wiper blades.

Finally get to work...and the internet 

was down in the office. UGH

I called my boss to let her know.

She told me I should have stayed home,

but then told me to go back home

and to drive safe.

So almost 3 hours later I was back home.

Oh and also into my drive to work,

an idiot driver decides to pass three cars at once.

Then later on, another idiot did the same thing.

So glad no accidents occurred.

We watched the Super Bowl last night.

I made Hot Wings and Cheese Nachos.

Although I don't care who wins this year,

I always enjoy watching the commercials...

however not many good ones this year.

Just a few I liked.

Maybe one year our Detroit Lions

will make it to the Super Bowl.

One can hope anyways.

Congrats though to the Eagles.

I have today off.

Bob and I both have appts.,

so will be going to those this afternoon.

Monday Blessings To All!
