New things

I went to Jo Ann's Fabrics yesterday morning and caught their HUGE Black Friday sale. I am so proud of my purchases! I finally got a 100% cotton batting for the quilt I'm making, and a bunch of fabric (in the bag)! All for the best price I have ever thought possible! I got so much fabric and the batting for the same price as the full price I was expecting to pay for the batting but was shockingly 50% when I got to the register! I was so shocked that I didn't have to pay full price on the batting that I was walking on clouds the whole way out to the car!

I came home from work, and my husband had bought a fire pit!

Upon further inspection of my dehydrated blackened potatoes, I was grossed out thinking of eating them, so I threw them out. I saved the other ones in the sealed jars though. And I'm thinking tomorrow or Monday I'll dehydrate the new potatoes I had bought. I'm a bit tired today from all the craziness lately!

My wonderful sour dough starter was over taken by the bigger fruit flies within the last few days (those ones that are orange-red in color and bigger and rounder than the usual typical little black ones) and it started to smell different so I threw it out. PU! I'll have to restart.

Our Thanksgiving Dog Barricade:

 We have to block the dog from the doors now anytime we leave or he tries to chew his way in. He still got through, but managed to hold himself back for the worst of it this time. Just a few scratches. This was the aftermath of the barricade after we opened it up. This is what it looks like this morning. chairs still upside down one on top of the other, and I don't know when it will be deconstructed.

But I am still so excited about these oranges!

 The grass is still green, and the oranges add even more color! It seems like spring to me right now! It's not to cold or hot, just perfect!

I need to go finish cleaning my kitchen and house and then I'll have to get ready for work.

So have a good day!
Trisha.
