If you like to sew, I went to Joann's today and got some fabric for pajamas for me. It is an incentive for me to get my office/sewing room back in order. They had this fabric that is satin on one side and flannel inside that I am going to make up. It is so pretty! I just hope I know how to sew on it! Best of all it was only $1.99 a yard. I bought what was on the bolt so it was $3 for almost 2 yards!
I also got a piece of crushed Panne Velvet that was $2.99 a yard for a skirt for me. It is a pretty wine color. I have to get sewing now as otherwise I will feel guilty!
I also got a piece of fleece for a scarf. I am making a box for Operation Christmas Child and am going to put a scarf in it. It is really easy to make as no sewing, just snip the ends to make fringes on a length that is about 6 in. wide. It was long enough for me or my husband.
It has been cold so our first snow didn't melt!! I just hope the road stay okay, It is a little nerveracking with Fred working on the roads all the time and snow and ice coming up.
I made this tasty soup today that was very different. You took cauliflower, a potato, and a tomato with spices and green onions and cook it in milk slowly until soft. I used part milk, part water. Then you blended it up and added a bit of cream and I topped with a bit of cheese. It was different, but very tasty. You could not taste the tomato really, but it gave a special flavor that was wonderful! I ate it with Olive oil and cracked pepper Triscuits.
Martha,
The scarf is a great idea. I was really thinking about adding gloves and a toboggan to my boxes. Oh, by the way, I added you to my friends list on here.
I pray that you all are having another good day today!
Love & Blessings,
