It’s Monday!

Two weeks from today I will be waking up in Memphis. I’m anxious to be home already! lol Yes, I love to visit Skylar and Derrick. But also big yes to the fact that I hate change in my routine. It makes me a crazy person.

I was busy cutting fabric yesterday. It actually wore out my arms! lol I felt like I was running a fabric store. Today I have to get all the packages ready for tomorrow’s pickup. Not sure I’ll feel up to going out. I need to hit walmart, but I’m thinking tomorrow. I will be way too busy today for that.

I did knock out a couple of videos last night. I did a Nightcap Vlog to chat about what I have on ebay and I chimed in about a few other things. Then I recorded my first Crocheted Block – Seed Stitch that will be part of my scrappy afghan that I’m working on as part of my crochet series!

Oh, and I also did a Patreon Stats for October video for my patrons similar to what I do for my youtube earnings. Except there are not as many stats to share on patreon. Just the same, I thought my patrons would like to see how it all works. And I also give insights as to some behind the scene stuff for anyone considering getting their own account.

I did not get much sleep last night then the little bit of sleep that I got this morning was interrupted by the pesky phone. Twice. Do hate. It’s going to be a busy day so I’m sure I’ll be looking foward to bed time, where I can lay awake for another night. lol

What I’m Watching Tonight: Dancing with the Stars.

3-Ingredient Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake Recipe

Stuff you might need or like:

Dump Cake Recipe eBooks (amazon)

NOTE: Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Darlene’s Tips: My Dollar Tree carries the canned cherry pie filling for only a buck a can. Top the cake with ice cream or whipping topping! And put a cherry on top!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cans (21 oz each) cherry pie filling
1 box Betty Crocker SuperMoist devil’s food cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted

DIRECTIONS:

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2 Spread pie filling in baking dish. Top with dry cake mix; gently shake pan to distribute evenly. Pour melted butter over top, tilting pan to cover as much of top with butter as possible.

3 Bake 42 to 45 minutes or until mostly dry on top and bubbly around edges. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

It’s Sunday!

I’m sure most people have turned their clocks back an hour. It will probably be weeks before I get around to doing that. lol All I know is I’m so freaking happy for early dark days! Bring on that darkness!

And it did feel good to see that I was up at 9am instead of 10am. At least my computer clock is correct. lol

I have a busy day ahead. I need to cut fabric for the Christmas fabric orders I got from my Peanut Gallery group last night. I offer special prices to the group before I put the fabric on ebay. Be sure you join the group so you can also get in on the pre-sale deals!

At some point, I will also need to hit Walmart. I’m thinking not today. I don’t know. Just don’t feel like going out. But I will need to do it soon. My mother has quite a long list and I will also need to pick up some of her meds.

I have some apples on hand and maybe I could bake something for my mother today. And she will also need another batch of fudge. But I think it’s a good day to bake! So that might be my video later. At least one of my videos. I also feel like crocheting.

Last night’s video gave me trouble from beginning to end. It was my Half Rectangle Triangle Cut
Easy Quilt Block Tutorial with Digital Quilt Show video. It was just one of those videos that made me struggle! I was so glad to finally be done with it! lol I’m not thrilled with this one, but according to the comments, some loved it. Happy about that!

What I’m watching tonight…
Shark Tank! One of my favorite shows! I love that they’ve added more sharks this season. And I think I like it on Sunday night better than Friday night.
