Just a bunch of misc. talking!!

Hello all! Been awhile since I have been here. Had some health issues last week and I'm still kind of recovering from that. I have A-Fib but haven't had an incident since '06. I woke up last Wednesday morning and I could feel that I just wasn't right so I went to my heart doc. After an EKG, I was told that my heart was giving an extra beat. So off to the lab I go, bunch of blood work which all came out normal, and then I ended up having to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. It was showing that I was having this extra beat about every 2 hours that day. Yesterday's follow-up EKG was normal so we aren't sure what kicked that into happening. They did increase my heart meds so hopefully that won't happen again. Now on to some other things.

The following 2 pictures are of my grandson with his new bike that he got when he was here this last time.





Have any of you been to Gordman's lately? They have a lot of prim stuff...yes, I know, it's made in China but these crocks and jugs that I got are probably the only kind of ones that I will be able to afford...lol.





And then some other things that I got there. Someday I hope to be able to learn that blanket stitch that is used on the tags and mitten.





My last visit to Goodwill didn't produce anything...I'm sooooo disappointed!!

I did finally get some of those re-do's done. I love my spoon rack!





That's pretty much it around here. Still working on some cross-stitch pieces. I have 3 little tucks/pinkeeps done but those will be used for the OFG Holiday Celebration which starts next week.

I'll sign off with a picture of my cat...Spaz. She's giving me that warning look to not take her picture...lol!!



Everyone have a great rest of the week. Stay warm! It's going to get cold and rainy here again starting tomorrow!

Snow snow go away, come back some other day (like in December...lol)!

Well the forecast was correct this time....we got snow!!











This is what my front yard looks like now once the wind started blowing. Leaves all over!



On to better things...went to the Estate Dispersal Store yesterday.

Pewter items:









I hit the jackpot with all this cross-stitch stuff!!





This little box with all these sewing threads and needles!



Also got these Williamsburg VA towels that I thought would be cute hanging with all my pewter items, once I get a display done up.



That's all I got this time. There's a big craft show in Iowa on Sunday that I will be going to. Hope I find some good stuff!!

My daughter and gs are here for the weekend also.



Hope everyone has a great weekend and stay warm!!!

Thank you's, GW and eBay listings (decorating magazines)!

Hello Friends!
First off I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to you all for your sweet comments on my hair! It all meant a LOT to me!!

Went to GW this week, not really much again but I was satisfied with what I did get!

This child's pewter mug...it's cute!


This pewter plate


These pewter goblets. They have an initial on them..."D", which is fine, my hubby's first name starts with a D...lol!


These are heavy...double star hooks


Now this next item I thought was interesting but have no idea what it is or what is (was) used for. I was thinking some kind of a scoop??




So that is it for the GW this week...BUT.....the Estate Dispersal Store is open this weekend beginning Friday so take a guess of where I will be....lol!!! AND there is also the HUGE Craft Show happening in Iowa so I will be there on Sunday!!

I also want to mention that I listed a whole bunch of magazines on eBay today. Country Living, Country Home, 100 Decorating Ideas and lots more. Take a look if you want...just click on my ebay button on the right side of the blog.

Nothing else happening around here. It's been so cold here. I so hated to turn the furnace on last week but just had to do it!! Electric blanket has been on also...lol! This weekend they are calling for highs only in the 30's with snow! This is just way too early for that stuff!! I have been doing some cross-stitching. I used to do it years and years ago. But I'm liking it again and have 3 little pin-keeps almost done. I'll post pics of those when finished. I am also still slowly working on some re-dos. I think I said about 2 months ago I was working on some....well.........I still am....ha!!

Ok, that's it for tonight! Have a goodnight everyone!!

GW, a new do and babbling

Hello all!! A big Welcome goes to my new followers!!

Visited GW this week, not much again. Looks like I will have to get into Omaha soon to take care of this disappointment...lol! This is what I did end up getting.





I also got some cross-stitch fabric and a couple of Country Home magazines. I decided to stop again today since I was out that way to go to WM to get my medicines. Not much again but I did get a Nativity scene. I have never had one in all my years...isn't that weird!!

I did get a new do the other day. Going to go lighter now, need a way to cover the grey so I figured a lighter color wouldn't show it as much. I usually grow my hair out in the Winter but my stylist talked me into a short cut...again! I can't believe how fat my face is.....plus I have like 4 chins!!!



It is really getting chilly here....too soon!! The north wind is just a howling out. It was rainy but now the sun is trying to peek out but it is still chilly. Tomorrow we are only supposed to have a high of 50! WOW! I have read that some of you have already gotten a frost but that hasn't happened here yet.

Last weekend was my grandson's 6th birthday party. Have you ever seen that age bowl??? It is so fun to watch. He even got a strike! Of course the gutter edges were up but still!! Those kids just drop the ball...lol. I'm sure that the guy running the lanes is just sitting there getting screamish thinking about his lanes! LOL! He also lost his 1st tooth last week. He doesn't agree that he will lose anymore, no matter what we said! Here are some pictures of him.







Well I think that's gonna be it for today. I'm hoping I can get some cross-stitching done. Oh, I did want to ask...is there a way to search blogs by State? Do any of you know or is that a dumb question? I would just like to see if there are any people around the area that have blogs. Ok, now I'm done! Thanks for joining me today!
