Me Want Cookie.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I LOVE vacation days.

Slept in this morning and in general had a very uneventful day.

This afternoon my son and I made Peppermint Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies:

Yes......we ate TOOOOO many.  But they were delicious.

I did not want to spend a lot of time decorating the cookies or losing the flavour of the cookies so we simple put icing decorations on the mittens.  

My knitting, I mean baking is done.

This evening after dinner we watched A Christmas Story.  It is my most favourite Christmas movie and yet somehow my son has not seen it!  Well, I think I have a convert to loving this movie as well.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I am very late (as usual) posting this evening.

My son and I got up early to get our tickets to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  The movie was awesome and once you see it you will understand my blog title for tonight.  P.S.  Yoda is very wise.

Since it is almost Sunday I shall post my 4 Patch Star Block:  

TAH DAH!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Happy Birthday!

Good Very Late Evening Internet Friends!

Today was my son's twelfth Birthday!  I cannot believe it!!!!!

Summer birthday's are always hard (I know it personally) so usually I try to have his party the weekend before school is out so that he can have some of his friends attend.  This year however the weekend before school was out was my weekend to work nights.  DRAT.

Not really having any plans for this week also added to the dilemma of what to do.  On Monday I got the bright idea that if we sent out a mass email and some text messages we could see how many of his friends could come and see The Secret Life of Pets movie with him today.

Two of his friends one from his previous school and one from his current school were able to attend which was a nice change from the usual plethora kids I am used to in years past.

Since this was a "Pet" themed birthday my son decided that he wanted a cake that looked like the pink stray cat from the movie.  Well, this is my rendition of it: 

My son thought it was awesome!

For his treat bags he wanted things that looked like they were for pets and he wanted to put them in the bags used for the doggie when we take a walk.  While walking the dog in the River Valley the other evening we stumbled across the perfect bags:

The bags contain dog tennis balls, macaroons (cause they kind of look like you know), blue whales because we could not find fish.  We put the candy into tiny containers that kind of look like mini pet bows, two bone shaped cookies and whistle blower things!

A jumbo bag of cookies!!!

It was a wonderful day and on the way home my son told me it was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Marching Along

Good Evening Internet Friends.

 This week has only been saved thanks to a co -worker and her stash of Robax Heat Wraps.  After physio the other day I thought I was going to have to roll home.  Seriously, it hurt that BAD. 

 However, the heated lumbar support in the Focus on the way home seemed to help.  I mentioned this as I hunched in to work yesterday morning and she offered me one of these from her stash.  I managed to get through the day.  Yes, I walked a little less than usual, and people did help me out some, but I got through the day and on top of that got kiddo to piano, the library and got both the Focus and the GO GO GO Toyota filled up before the fuel price jump.  Hence why we are driving the Focus again! 

This evening I limped to the cinema with kiddo and we watched Zootopia.  I loved it! 

So, it's Friday already and time for Friday share with the Krafting Crew and I have nothing to show!  Except for the March calendar that I made from my December Paper Pumpkin kit:

TAH DAH!  This is seriously about as creative as I can get this evening.  The heating pad has about worn out and after the movie I spent time in the kitchen making marshmallows for my son's play date tomorrow afternoon as that is what he volunteered to bring!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Block 31!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Last night kiddo and hubby were on a Boy Scouts camp out.  It was the first time in nearly 12 years that I was home alone.  I have to admit, it was kind of weird.  As such, I did not sleep much and or well.  At 0630 when they called me to come pick them up I had just fallen asleep.  By the time we got back to the house it was a little too late to go back to bed, so we all snuggled up on the couch and watched Return of the Jedi.  I was officially caught up on Star Wars as of 1000 hours this morning (having never seen any of them before).  Since I was now caught up hubby decided that we should go see The Force Awakens this afternoon which is what we did.  It made for a nice family afternoon.  On the way home kiddo fell asleep in the car!

Dinner and showers were done and he was off to bed and asleep before 2015 hours which means I will be off to sleep here shortly.

While waiting for the last load of laundry I did make Block 31 of the Churn Dash Challenge:

TAH DAH!

Now off to bed as tomorrow is a work and school day ☺

What's For Breakfast???

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I awoke this morning feeling quite exhausted.  There is a slight possibility that I may have over done it yesterday.  Yes, the breathing is better and even though the Air Quality Rating is still sitting around a 9 and my coughing has decreased I just felt tired.

Plus, I started on my Fabric Relocation/Migration, basically de-stash of my fabric closets last night.  As of this evening several pieces have been relocated to new and hopefully loving appreciative families! ☺

Anyways, breakfast seemed like a really big task this morning and of course with 2 pails of strawberries sitting in the refrigerator it was a no-brainer that breakfast had to include these.

A quick search on the computer and this is what I found:

Strawberry-Swirl Cheesecake Smoothie!

They were delicious, and quite quick and easy!

This afternoon my son and I went to see the Minions.  We both had such high expectations for this movie.  I just LOVE the Despicable Me movies, but sadly, this one I did not find as good.  I am glad I went to see it, but now I understand the ratings for it.

This evening of course was get ready for back to work tomorrow and of course look at the time!

Good Night and 

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
