Or maybe not!!!! I will however be sewing for a bit of the day as I do have a show again this coming weekend, and do want to replenish some stock. I did finally get a couple sets of soup bowl cozies finished yesterday:
I love both patterns. Which one do you like the best? I sell these in the shop for $15 a pair.
I also picked up my Christmas arrangement for the outside from a local home business yesterday and it is gorgeous:
I just love the galvanized pail its in.
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

Scrunchies.........
Been busy sewing scrunchies this week........well not all week, I was being a lazy bum when it came to sewing this week and didn't do much.
Anyhow, I decided to make these ones in baby corduroy, which means it is a finer corduroy. Not sure if they will sell, but if they don't I have four grand daughters who will put them too good use. I love the floral fabric the best; which one do you like?
I bought the basket they are in to put on the table at the next show I am in from the dollar store. I can think of a couple of uses for it when not using in shows. I bought another basket for the Xmas Pocket Tissue holders:
Do you shop at the dollar stores.........which by the way half the time things are not a dollar, but that's a whole other story😊

Decisions, decisions.........
which one should I buy.............
None of them right😊 We are having a get together before Christmas and I am "making" everyone wear ugly Christmas sweaters so I guess I will have to go out and buy one............
Did get a couple of stocking stuffers made yesterday.
Two of each colourway. The pink ones are for the girls to put in their school backpacks. What is on the back of the covers is on the inside as well. The blue ones are for other people.

Various photos and a reminder about saving money for Xmas
My dear friend Jane from The Maple Syrup Mob is starting a new meme and I thought you all may be interested in it? It won't officially be starting until November 17th, but thought I'd tell you all about it so you can think about what you will do.
It's called "A View From My Window," and you take photo(s) from the same window(s) each week (posting on a Thursday) and we can all watch the changing seasons from your window. To read more about it, click on the link
I have decided to take photos from Molly's window for you to see what she watches all day.

Molly sleeping after all that watching:
Something is missing from the bathroom?
The washer and dryer have gone!!!! Mind you don't get too excited as they are still not hooked up but are in the basement. At least they are getting closer to the laundry room!!!! Dh plumbed in the sink and is more or less ready to turn on the water. Still don't have the electric hooked up, although all the plugs and switches are all wired in and plates on them. I hope to go next weekend and pick up the door, not sure if dh will have time to hang it before my mother arrives, as there is a lot of electrical work still to finish, plus dh is pretty sick at the moment with his sinuses.
Also have the back splash tiles to find and the drop ceiling to put in, all those things can be done when we save up the money, as I can see me spending at least another $500 to do both of those jobs. There is a lot of tile work to be done on the walls. I will take photos when the washer and dryer gets hooked up.
Also do you remember this post when I was saying it was 90 days until the 20th of December and if you put $1 a day away each day you would have enough saved to pay for the Christmas meal and treats? Is anyone still doing it? I am and have got $28 saved up so far, so should reach my goal of $90.
