Crafting Fun

This weekend have been making progress in decluttering and filled loaded two more bags plus two more boxes to go for Pomery and got it loaded in to the trunk to be delivered to the drop off point here in town. The boxes were small so I could handle them myself. It's always good to get these out of the way in the kitchen. Dh I took old oil to his work to be disposed of properly, it feels good to get these out of the here! Decluttering is such a freeing experience! Then we stopped by for some sugar free ice cream cones on our way home, we begged out of water park birthday party it’s just too hot for us to do that today, with 103* record hi temps are in the forecast.

I got some new to me books at the thrift shop; Two cook books "Fix and Forget-it Recipes for Entertaining" and "Favorite Recipes from Quilters".
I’ve seen these at Costco and I've had the fix it and forget it one before and given it as a gift great crock pot cooking recipes in this one!
The quilting one has those too and lots of others for pot lucks yummy! I got caught up in reading a cook book by quilters with loads of great recipes that I recognize lots of these recipes, they had quilt patterns they were working on listed very inspiring. I'm thinking how many kinds of bread could be made for the holidays! Not on my diet however so I’ll have to use it with caution! LOL!

And Friendship with God by Neal Donald Walsch.
Who also wrote conversations with God books 1, 2 & 3 which I have not read. Was at the bargain place at the grocery store This one reads fast like a blog which I enjoy! Have read half of this book over the weekend.

Yesterday I stopped at a yard sale on my walk hurried home to get purse & car for my finds! This motivated me to walk faster!

Off to the nice cool sewing room! I have added some fabric from a yard sale, kids prints that will be fun to work up! I've been playing with in the craft zone this weekend having a blast too! I got them cut out ironed and ready to sew yesterday afternoon, last night I sewed up a some more gift bags, and got the draw strings in them. I'm doing up the blues so I can keep the same thread on the machine, then I'll do up the ones that take white thread. I have a goal of and hour or fourty five minutes each day this gives me way to break it up into smaller chunks and I don't get overwhelmed! I did some more today so I have a dozen more done now! Yippie! I’m on a roll!!! Using the crock pot helps for a better flow to my days when I'm crafting!
I saw a friend at the store yesterday from the motor cycle club we both used to attend. She showed me some fabric she had special ordered in for new curtians she was sewing up. That was fun.
