Tea Time Tuesday-Revisiting A Bloggers Tea Party

Good Morning today we are revisiting a fun on Tea Party!

I love visiting my blogger friends. Especially when they have fun Tea Parties!

Isn't this the prettiest table. I want a piece of that cake.

I love the name of the blob Rosemay-Thyme. Click Here to visit the post.

Another fun blogger shared at French Theme Tea Party

UNE PETITE FRENCH TEA PARTY (POUR MOI)

And another lovely Tea Party...

A beautiful outdoor setting...

And the blogger writes . . .

French country is more than a decorating style;

French country is a way of life

where the ordinary is elevated to the extraordinary.

Enjoying iced tea among the blue bonnets can be impromptu, without planning required. Whatever baked goods you have on hand can turn a refreshing glass of tea into a Spring tea party. No baked goods? Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to go with your iced tea ... outside amidst your flowers, celebrating a time of your life.

Celebrate the moments of life to turn those moments into a special time filled with je ne sais quoi

I hope you will enjoyed this Tea party revisit!

Busy Monday-Menu Monday & Baking Day

Hello and Welcome. I hope your week has started Fabulous!

Today I decided to share my old banner photo for Busy Monday because it depicts the Busy Craziness of my life!

Days are Busy but good. I/we are enjoying settling in to our new home.

I still have lots to organize. And I am not totally happy with storing food in cabinets. I have a good amount of cabinets but tall ceilings.

We can't reach the top shelf! We bought a step ladder this week so I can put things higher.

I have also been busy baking! I have finally convinced the Cowboy home made is better than store bought!

I make Cookies several times a week. This recipe is so simple and he likes them.

I plan on making this cake today.

I found the recipe on Pinterest. It is on this blog click Here

I am so thinking of only putting the nuts on 3/4 of it. I don't like nuts.

But I do like Chocolate & Caramel!

Simple Sunday

Saturday Sewing & Crafting

Welcome

How's your Saturday going?

I'm still spending my time unboxing and organizing but I did finish part 2 of The Crochet Along I am doing this year.

It began in February . . .

This year's is much smaller than last year's and perfect to use up leftover yarn.

I am not finished with last year's because I had run out of yarn and then Life got crazy.

I have used it as a throw. I need to weave in the ends!

It is on the chair by the bed. The temporary chair! We are looking for a soft cozy chair not big. I like a quiet place to read away from the t.v.

We will be going to Hobby Lobby soon to buy yarn.

I decided on a new Sewing/Quilting

project . . .

I am in Love with my cheap Brother Sewing Machine!

During my sorting I found some fabric to use up for small simple projects

I will be making simple blankets and quilts to donate to a Dog Shelter in Katy, Texas.

Lola is helping . . .

I set up the sewing machine temporarily by our bed.

I really want to sew on this one project but I am trying to get things organized and get a couple more boxes sorted.

Hopefully this week I will move the sewing machine to our 2nd bedroom where I will craft and the Cowboy will listen to music.

He decorated his side of the room.

He had a little help. Under duress he agreed to put a few candles in the room. . .

He does a good job of deciding placement of prints . . .

He loves his chair and is super picky about what pillow or throw is allowed.

He loves to listen to music. I am glad we have this shared space.

I can't wait to get my side finished!

Enjoy your weekend

Happy Homemaker in Texas

The weather

Upper 50's to mid 60's in mornings.

Afternoons upper 60's to low 70's.

It's gorgeous. Lots of wind but still pleasant.

We might have rain Monday & Tuesday.

As I look out my window

Not actually outside but I got new plants for our big Living Room window.

I have not had houseplants in years.

I live tending to them and watching them grow.

Right now I am

Thinking how Happy and Blessed I am. It has been a hard few years but we are happy healthy and financially secure.

Thinking and pondering

Our Blessings

Homemaking Tips

I use a small trash can ($4.00 at Target) under my kitchen sink. I line it with a grocery bag. Free! But the ink will come off the bag so I turn it inside out.

Since we live in an apartment we have a dumpster very close.

How I am feeling

With aide of Ibuprofen I feel good.

Lots of Arthritis. I battled allergies for a few days but they are better.

On my the breakfast plate

Bacon and Pancakes

French Toast

My vote is the later! We'll see what the Cowboy says!

On my reading pile

A few I am hoping to read. Got approved for reviews but having a heck of a time with my apps!
