The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent , Psalm 104:2

~We got groceries at Walmart & Smith's. If you have not tried the new Kroger Carbmaster yogurt in White Chocolate Raspberry, you MUST!

~I attended 10:30 A.M. service where I served as Crucifer, LEM, Lay Reader & Acolyte. I helped clean up after coffee hour.

~I spent most of the afternoon making contact with local Abq crafters for the show in May. I have 10 people interested!

~I made an Ascot Boa Scarf in Lion Brand Fancy Fur Stormy Sea/retro TG & Y Sayelle Turquoise.

Thrifting Genes!

Thrifting must run in the family! My mom found this tapestry bag (another of my collections) for me at her KY Goodwill store. Both my sisters also thrift.

~I attended Daughters of the King.

~I made a Butterfly Pinafore in Baby Bee Hushabye Baby Sage with vintage caramel buttons in size 1. It is adorable! I really like this yarn. I also made a Soap Sack in Ocean thread, a Sweet Skullcap in Red Heart Lustersheen jade with a Pansy lavender flower pin & miscellaneous 1-round flower pins in scraps of Lustersheen.

~I made Mike a ham/cheese wrap with Sunchips & a sweet pickle.

~We watched the first 2 hours of Streets of Laredo. It is okay, but not near as good as the original Lonesome Dove.

Lap Blanket

Color Block granny square lap blanket in Blues for St. Mary's Prayer Shawl Ministry

~I cooked up a pound of sausage, did a load of laundry, swept the floors & vacuumed the rugs.

~At the Family Thrift Center, I didn't get anything, but saw several things I might pick up next Friday at the 1/2-price anything with red in it or on it Valentine sale. I did find 2 shirts for me, a short skirt for making yo-yo's and a ugly blouse with pretty button at Good Deals (.99 Goodwill store). I dropped off Peanut Butter Crispies for the Napa Boys. I used coupons at Michael's for Lion Brand Cotton Ease in Azalea & Baby Bee Hushabye in Baby Sage at Hobby Lobby. A final stop at Albertson' s for apple butter & eggs before heading home.

~I made a Button Medallion Choker in Natural with a fancy gold-tone metal button.

~I made Mike a meatball sandwich with honey wheat pretzels & a sweet pickle.

Mmmm.....

Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake

~After breakfast, I made Sour Cream Cornbread in 3 seperate pans: Apple Butter Swirl, Mix Berry Jam Swirl & Fiesta Cheese.

~We went up to the office early to do some computer work with the craft show & Mike marked off table spaces in the Parish Hall. I also set up coffee.

~We spent the day at the range helping with CCW Draw Class. The cornbread was awesome! This is the first time I made it in the pyrex dishes & it was so moist. This is the way I will always make it from now on.
