Oatmeal Apricot Jam Bars

~I did a load of laundry then spent the rest of the day crocheting. I finished the Garland of Blossoms scarf & made a Little Tweed Purse in the same Dusty Rose Ombre held together with White Lustersheen.

Hats & Scarf Sold!!

Durango Hat in Cranberry sold to Margie in WY

Boa Scarf in Dance Party sold to Sandra in TX

Sedona Hat in Buffalo/Hazy Sage sold to Margie in WY

Flapper Beanie in Irish Girl sold to Kristen in CA

~I decided to bite the bullet & try my new food processor. I did have to read the instructions, lol, but it went okay. I made the Oatmeal Jam Bars, but think I processed the dry ingredients too long & should have used the dough blade instead of the cutting blade. But, it is now no longer "the Terminator on the counter", as I used to refer to it. As a side note, I used a jar of apricot preserves from the Dollar Tree. It was good quality with chunks of apricots & a good price of $1!

~I finished a Roseburg Hat in Midnight Swim/Knapsack & started a Garland of Blossoms scarf in retro Spinnerin Mosaic rose/white ombre, using Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn Dark Olive for the joining leaves.

~I made Mike a cheesy chicken bacon wrap for supper.

Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; Psalm 98:8

Gila River in New Mexico

~Mike drove me to work & helped me finish the newsletters. I got the bulletins printed/folded stuffed, & started all that stuff for next week. Norm brought me a gift box of Godiva chocolate stuff from him & Mark, to thank me for making their lives so much easier!

~Date Nite: We did more concentrating on slowing down, finding sights & listening to our weapons. I found that I hold the gun to tight, which throws my shots off a little.

~Mike drove me to work & did some work at the church. I fixed the problem with the calendar on the email newsletter & sent it to Patrick to see if it opened ok. It did! I emailed it to the rest of those who requested it this way & got back 2 favorable responses. Ms. Jeannine came in for edits to the bulletins & newsletter. Norm came in & payed bills. I enjoyed fellowship with the Wednesday service ladies. I got the newsletter printed & mostly collated/stapled/addressed.

Hat Sold!!

Durango hat in Rainbow Snow sold to Kristen in CA

~Fr. Jim has the week off, so I am in the office by myself this week. I worked on bulletins & the newsletter. I think the calender in the email version is too big. Once I added it to the template, the pages move really slow.

~I finished the special-order Garland of Blossoms scarf in Blues/Purples.
