Good morning, friends!
Sorry to have been gone for so long! It's been a busy week. I kept Sloane for three days instead of our usual one, on Mondays. Her ears again, and teething. She had good moments and bad. It's hard to watch someone you love, hurt. But all my granny tricks worked and by the end of each day, she went home happier than when she arrived.
She is loving her chair...I placed it between me and Gampa's chairs, in the living room. Taking care of her baby like Gamma takes care of her...lol...Have I said how much we love her? lol
Finally, a happy face...
I believe this was Tuesday that we went into town to do a few errands. We stopped at the local Collin Street Bakery for a coffee and turnovers.
We were sitting at our table when I started to look out a window to my left, and saw this rack with cookies just sitting there...in the open air...just sitting there...:O[
I can't imagine why...I thought about going up to ask but, lost the will. Every day we see something, somewhere, that says, "We don't care". When are people going to start caring again? I'm tired...
It doesn't take long for those baked items to go stale...or some fly sees a tasty treat...
What would you have done?
Well, as if we didn't have enough hobbies to conquer...we bought a new printer just for Sublimation. What the heck is that, you ask...Click Here to see what it's all about. This looks fun since whatever you print on things, it won't peel up.
These are two t-shirts I did for our Sloane. Not by sublimation but by the basic vinyl cutting on my Cricut smart cutting machine. Fun projects.
I'm still in the process of setting up the new printer and learning how to do things.
Black sparkly vinyl and solid orange.
And here's my old trusty sidekick, in all things mayhem. Needed an extra place to store all my crafting bits and bobs. A six tier metal rack worked perfectly.
Just realize, I haven't gotten the supplies sorted! It's needing baskets and labels, but I'll get there.
I decided to make a new recipe for banana nut pound cake that I saw on Pinterest...turned out horrible! Hockey-pucks!! I could have done some real damage if I wanted to throw them! Oh well...in the trash they went (boy, that hurt...wasted flour, sugar and nuts...uggg).
This is my old "tried and true" recipe for banana nut poundcake. Wonderful. Never fails me. Should have baked these in the first place but nothing ventured, etc.
I also baked a coconut pie maybe last weekend? Really good!
I received, by mail...(I Love getting "real" mail!) this Oh So Pretty card from blogger mate, Ann. I'm a little prejudice about her and her talents (baker...crafter...candlestick maker...lol, well she did a time or two, make a candle) since I've been following her for years. Can't say enough good things about her...So! Thank you Ann! I'll be getting you one back, shortly! How fun!
Check out her August 21st post about her cards. Maybe you'd like to join in on the fun?!!
Well, I've bent your ear long enough. Hope you're having a sweet and peaceful weekend...so until next time...may God keep His hand on us all...
