Happy Monday everyone!

I worked so hard yesterday that I feel like I spent the entire day and night in a factory. lol I cut fabric and got packages ready. I know that does not sound like a lot, but it was, and it still is. I have 30 more of the 100 prints of fabric to cut for the Crumb Quilt lots that I had on eBay. Quite sure I’ll have those in the mail on Wed as planned.

I started my day by recording a Crumb Quilt Quick Tip. I’m glad I got that up because I did not have time to record an actual episode for the series. I hope to have a full episode tonight.

I also recorded another episode of the Quilt Block Party Revisited series where I embellished another quilt block. I really love the way this block turned out and it was easy too!

Today I must get some Penny Auctions on eBay and must also do more laundry. I did manage to get two loads done yesterday, one for fabric and one for clothing. I’ll be wearing all clean clothes today. LOL

As for videos later, my schedule is squeaky clean because I print a new one ever Monday. I have lots of choices! I did not get around to an Easy Quilt Block last week, so that’s on the top of the list. All depends on time. That’s one of my favorite series too so I’m anxious to get to it.

I know many of you prefer my Tag Along to Walmart videos and I will for sure have one this week as I will need to pick up meds for my mother. Hang in there!

What I Have on eBay: Later today I will have some penny auctions with free shipping! Check back using this link maybe after 2:00pm-ish. Busy day!

10 Free eBooks plus Free Music: I have the new Free eBooks list including Easy Glycerin Soap Making, the Bronte Sisters, Baking for Kids and more! and I also have the Free Music including Carole King, Ocean Sounds (great for ASMR) and more!

Yesterday’s Walmart.com Deal: I found this awesome Faded Glory Women’s Classic Maxi Skirt on clearance for a super great price! As of yesterday they only had gray and only in XL and XXL. Not sure what is left.

On Derrick’s blog: Triple Strand Vintage Unisex Wild Irregular Round Bead Leather Bracelet. Please remember that prices change constantly on amazon. Might be higher now. Could also be lower!

What I’m Watching Tonight: I don’t really have anything to watch tonight so I’ll probably have The Weather Channel on to watch Why Planes Crash. Yes, I love that stuff even though I fly fairly often. And this is if it’s even on. They might be covering the mess in Texas.

Youtube Analytics Mini Update: This has been a record breaking month for me in so many ways. Too many to even remember them all. But I think my spike is dropping now. It lasted a little over a week which is about normal. I’ll watch a few more days and if the momentum keeps dropping, I can not worry about uploading as much and just let things ride until the next spike. As for mini stats, I have over 3 million minutes of watch time so far for August and over 5,000 new subscribers. Blows. My. Mind. You can see my channel here.

Have a great Monday! Darlene xoxo

maxi skirt

All they have left at the time of this post is the Gray in sizes XL and XXL. This makes a comfy and cozy house skirt to lounge around in! Or course, great for going out too, for those of you who like to go out. LOL

59% polyester, 97% rayon, 4% spandex
Women’s Skirt
Maxi length
Solid color
Covered elastic waistband
Loose fit
Slightly stretchy
Front draping

NOTE: Clearance items are not always available in your store. They might be only in the warehouse. Most items can be ordered online and sent to your store and you can pick it up for free. If you don’t like or it does not fit, you can return it directly to the store. So easy!

Or ships FREE to home with $35 purchase

SHOPPING TIP: If you get close to the $35 minimun, simply order other stuff you always buy including groceries! There are more and more grocery items available on Walmart.com now that you can have shipped to your home. I love ordering the big and heavy stuff for home delivery like 20 rolls of toiler paper or big jugs of laundry detergent, stuff like that. I do about half of my grocery shopping on Walmart.com now. So convenient!

Sunday Chat – Yesterday’s Tag Along, More Crumbing, Youtube Goal, More

Happy Sunday!

I was up early today, 9:30am! That’s early for me. I slept good and I give credit to the most delish steak I ate at 11:30pm. Yup! I did that. I totally forgot to eat dinner so I cooked a steak and ate the whole thing. I never have any kind of indigestion or that too full feeling if I eat just unseasoned beef. It’s like a miracle food for me. I can eat a pound of beef and go right to bed with no issues at all. No bloating. No acid reflux. It’s pretty freaking amazballs.

So up early I am, and I’ve already recorded a video. I want to do some “quick tips” for my crumb quilting series so I can tell my crumbers new tips I’ve come up with as I work through this series. I know so many are working on this right along with me so I want them to know stuff right away! My only trouble is getting quick tips to actually be… well… quick! I will one day perfect that type of video so I do not have to be tied down to so much editing. It’s not up yet, because… editing, but I will have it up early.

Yesterday I recorded a Tag Along Car Vlog and showed you some red franks. Most do not have those. I know some are saying they do and that they are called red hots, but that’s not the same thing. Just not. lol I also picked up 24 steaks (12 family packs) during that trip. That’s not even a 2 week supply for me! lol About to cook two right now. I’m skipping ground beef for lunch. Only in the mood for steak so I’ll eat two. Mouth. Is. Watering.

I also recorded Episode 8 of the Crumb Quilt Adventure! It’s not too late to join the fun! The videos are right there for you in this Crumb Quilt Playlist and you can get caught up!

Today, I must cut fabric. I must get packages ready. I must do laundry. And I must come up with some kind of video other than crumb quilting. lol And I have a something new on the way that I think the Peanut Gallery will love. Stay tuned for that!

What I Have on eBay: Nothing new, but tomorrow is Manic Monday so stay tuned for some new Penny Aucitons with Free Shipping!

10 Free eBooks plus Free Music: I have the new Free eBooks list including Scones, Holiday Crafts, a Coloring Book for Kids and more! and I also have the Free Music including Lewis Black, Creek Sounds (great for ASMR) and more! It’s the first time I do the free music list on my own. Learned how to do something new!

Yesterday’s Walmart.com Deal: I didn’t get around to doing any bargain hunting yesterday, but you can .

On Derrick’s blog: Casual Washed Short Sleeve Denim Button Down Shirt. Please remember that prices change constantly on amazon. Might be higher now. Could also be lower!

Youtube Analytics Mini Update: It’s official! We will be upping the monthly revenue goal during my next update! Do you remember what my current monthly goal was? If you do, just know we reached it! If you don’t, then you need to get caught up on my Youtube Earnings Update series!

What I’m Watching Tonight: Big Brother, of course! I wish we could see more of what’s going on in the jury house. I’d love a weekly episode of just that. I know they don’t do much in there and probably keep very much to themselves. BB could come up with something for them to do to entertain us.

Have a great Sunday! Darlene xoxo
