That Kinda Day...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was slightly more productive than yesterday despite being time change day which usually wrecks havoc with my day and psyche. 

I managed to get all the laundry washed, folded and put away!!!  YAY ME!!! ☺

House cleaning also done!  Bonus points here.....

Then I baked Andes Mint Chip Cookies.  I used the recipe on the package but I think for our dry Western Canadian climate next time I will add less flour than what the recipe calls for.  That being said though the cookies are still DELICIOUS:

The recipe made 52 cookies but as you can see a Cookie Monster found them.....

For dinner I made baked sweet potatoes topped with taco beef and toppings which is one of my son's favourite dinners:

He even eats the skin of the sweet potato when served this way .....Super Health Benefits...+++

After dinner I took kiddo and his horse dog for a walk in the -14 Celsius (7 Fahrenheit) temperature and with the windchill it was more like -27 Celsius (-17 Fahrenheit).  Returning home I even shovelled the side walk (I live on a corner lot so extra BONUS points for me for that)!!!!

After getting my son off to bed and organising lunches and such for tomorrow I took a bit of time to spend in my craft room.

Yesterday I showed you the Anne Of Green Gables fabrics.  This evening I made 2 more blocks for the quilt:

And...

I love how these are coming along.

I  hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

What's She Doing Now???

Good Evening Internet Friends!

My blog title is probably often asked of me because what I am up to on any particular day is always a mystery!!

Today I got up early and made a Lemon Square to take to work with me because it was so well received the other day that seconds were asked for.

I packaged up and returned all the recycling.  

Stopped to visit my friend who has ended up in hospital due to complications of her pregnancy.  I packed her a little care package as well ☺

Afterwards took an afternoon nap to be ready to work tonight.

Arriving at work the smell in the underground parking garage was pretty intense.  Apparently the lines in the parking garage were painted today and there is no way to air the garage out.....the entire building smells of paint fumes.  By 1.5 hours into my shift my chest was tight and the cough was starting....other staff were complaining about nose bleeds and headaches but I got sent home cause I looked worse than every one else....getting home I doubled up on all my puffers and then took a nap.  Waking up the puffers had kicked in and I am super shaky and jittery.....chest still hurts but air can pass.

So since I am up and probably will be for a while I decided to do something productive.

First off I decided to bake mint chocolate chip cookies and knit while each batch was baking:

Since I was still feeling the effects of the puffers I decided to start on my son's end of school year teacher gift:

That's right....I have had this fabric for a really long time, but decided to start on it tonight!  For those of you who are not into quilting or sewing this is the Professional Tote.  It is an awesome bag and yes, I have even put magnetic snaps into the pockets!  This is the first side completed.  Have to be finished for Tuesday morning ☺

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
