It’s Saturday!

And it’s a bright and sunny day, which I’m sure makes many happy.  But it’s also cold, currently in the mid 30s and the low is expected to be around 13 degrees F.  But no wind today.  Yesterday was windy and I could actually feel it coming through my old house. It was cold. But still better than too hot.

I finished the Scrappy Hot Mess quilt yesterday!  I had quite a time with that beast, but in the end I’m happy with it because I’ve decided to have a giveaway with that quilt as the prize after my trip.  I think giveaways are going to be a good way for me to get rid of some of my stuff.  I just need to think up creative giveaways.  I really don’t like giveaways because one, they are a pain in the ass to set up, and two, many people just enter with no real desire to win.  I like stuff I send out to go to people who actually appreciate getting the item.

I ended my night with lots of laughter as I read my youtube comments for my patrons!  That series will now be exclusive for my patrons now.  I had stopped recording those simply due to the backlash I got from some.  I know many love, love, love when I read comments.  I they love it that much, a buck a month is certainly worth the laughs.  I really love the freedom that patroen gives me. So nice to not rely only on youtube as a way to make money with my humor.

Not sure what I have planned for today as far as videos go.  I really have a ton of stuff to do before my trip which is in just one week.  I must focus on that stuff. But I’m sure I’ll get something uploaded later.

What I Have on eBay
My  is over!  I will be taking the  for quilters down in a few days since I don’t want to be processing orders during the week. Just too stressed over my trip to do that.

INGREDIENTS:

6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 envelope (1 oz) Old El Paso taco seasoning mix (or store brand)

2 cups pecan halves
2 cups roasted unsalted cashews
2 cups walnut halves
2 cups whole almonds
3 cups bite-size cheese crackers
2 cups sourdough pretzel nuggets

Darlene’s Tips:  You can certainly omit any nuts you don’t like and add extra of those you do like. You could also add various crackers, pretzels, or other snacks.  Some chex cereal might even work well!

DIRECTIONS:

1  In 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, mix butter, taco seasoning mix, cinnamon and red pepper. Add remaining ingredients; toss gently.

2  Cook uncovered on Low heat setting 3 to 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until nuts are toasted. Turn off slow cooker. Serve with large serving spoon.

It’s Friday!

I was a busy girl yesterday. I ran some errands and took you with me for this Ride Along with Me – Doing Errands Around Town video. Then it took the entire rest of my day to edit and upload that video.  I suffered from fried brain after that task and called it a night. lol  Oh, and I watched Project Runway. Anxious to see who wins this season!

Today I will be busy again.  I have stuff that I must do around the house to get ready for my trip which is in just over a week.  You know know how much I’m dreading this “vacation.”  It’s all very stressful for me.  But I know that once I’m on the plane, I will relax. And I will have you all with me, of course!

I also need to finish my Scrappy Quilt and fix the boo boo.  As messed up as this quilt is, I will still put it on ebay after my trip. I’m hoping so much it will find a new home, preferably for a dog. I’m just so in love with the idea of my quilts going to dogs.  And a dog will not mind the imperfections at all.

I also have a bunch of behind the blog stuff that I need to do today. And I need to take care of the mail that is building up around me and pay some bills. I also need to insulate my two windows with the car sunshades that I bought during this Car Vlog in the Dark trip. And then there is that shitty task I must help my mother with… ugh!  The instructions made me want to cry! lol

What I Have on eBay:  My  is kicking ass!  I also have  for quilters!
