No time for tea today but I figured I’d show off a cup anyway. :)
We have a local school referendum to vote on today…luckily, I vote at the same place I work out.
If you want to see what I’ve been up to lately check out my previous two posts by clicking Home just below my banner.
Otherwise please stop by Elizabeth’s for a list of more exciting T stands for Tuesday blogs.
Thanks for joining me for another edition of T stands for Tuesday brought to us by Elizabeth at Altered book lover.
Today is my typical kind of Tuesday…busy, busy, busy. I always make time for a good breakfast though. Poached egg on toast is my favorite. With coffee, of course.
Today though I have a bit of a different schedule. I have my job orientation! I’m very excited to be starting this new phase of my life.
Over the past week I’ve been very domestic. I cooked a pie pumpkin that yielded 7 cups of pumpkin puree. I’ve made 2 pies, 2 large loaves of pumpkin bread and a batch of pumpkin chia pudding.
I’ve also been sewing quite a bit. I’ve been upcycling some stained or torn vintage linens. As well as using up scraps for additional projects. More on all that in a later post.
Miss Gracie has been keeping me company, that is when she isn’t busy watching for critters out the window.
I’m off to start my day now but I’ll be back later to visit all my blogging friends.
What are you doing today?
So glad you stopped by to join me for T stands for Tuesday.
Now that the weather has turned, I’ve been consuming a lot of tea once my coffee is gone each morning.
I think I spent a bit too much time in the cold garage painting my Pumpkin Minions…I definitely picked up some sort of bug. Little J is home sick today with me. I guess I shared…wasn’t that nice of me?
Did you notice the shape in the steam?
Look closely…
Did you see the heart?
I thought that was super cool…or maybe I should say hot. *grin*
It’s going to be a really low key day around here.

Thanks for stopping by once again for T stands for Tuesday hosted by the one and only Dr. E, Queen of Free.
I made myself a mug of miso not only to warm my hands but my insides as well.
So that’s the hot soup…what about the hot scoop?
Well…after 13.5 years or so of being a stay at home mom, I am now gainfully employed. I’ve been added to the sub list for our school district. I still have an orientation to go to but other than that, I’m ready to work again.
I’ll still be crafting, making art and blogging.
I had to show some of the ornaments I made last week. I made some others but they sold and I never photographed them. Bummer!! Although I do know one of the ladies who bought 3 of them…think it would be weird for me to ask her if I could take a picture??
What are you doing today?
It’s been a whirlwind of activity around here since last week. I think the last time I’ve had two hours to rest during the day was when I was in the salon, last T Tuesday, getting my hair done.
I’ve been sewing like crazy. On both fabric…
And paper.
Of course, some painting as well.
In fact I have some spray painted goodies in the garage right now. Hopefully I’ll get everything done for Saturday. I have so many ideas now at the last minute for my craft sale. That’s the way it always works with me. I come down to the wire and my mind starts racing with new items to add to my table.
In addition to my “crafty crap”, as Mr. G so affectionately refers to it, I have these this on my list.
As well as the regular Tuesday stuff…knitting group, pesky household chores and visiting T Stands for Tuesday blogs.

Today is October 1st…you know what that means.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This is a cause near and dear to my heart. My mom is a survivor. She had cancer in 1968…before I was born…heck, before my parents even met. She had a radical mastectomy and prayed for the best. The best is what she got. That was 45 years ago.
In a little while I’m heading to the salon for a haircut. I’m having my gal put in my pink streaks in honor of my mom. This will be my third year of “going pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I love that people ask about my pink streaks and I get to remind them of Breast Cancer Awareness.
We have company coming in from Wisconsin this evening. They are staying with my in-laws but we are hosting the evening meal. So much to do…so little time.
What are you doing today?
If you’ve read my blog much, you know that I’m all over the place when it comes to arts and crafts. So for today’s T stands for Tuesday post, hosted by Elizabeth, you’re going to go on a whirlwind ride with me. What is scary is that I’ll be showing you how my brain works. You may not want to know.
Before we get started I have to say THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes for my mom. We had a nice day out together.
This morning started at 5:30am as usual. By 5:45, coffee is made and the first of 3 lunches are packed. I have 5 mins left before I wake Big J to start his morning routine. Now fast forward about 2.5 hours and I have the house to myself. Well, Gracie is still here but she’s having a sleepover with her friends.
So what do I do with my time beyond the list that never seems to end?
For one, I play with corks. These are going to be a new item on my table at the an up coming craft sale.
I’ve been editing senior pictures for the neighbor.
I finished the miniature terrain pieces I’ve been working on, complete with with simulated battle damage. Did I not tell you that you might be frightened of how my mind works?
And what’s this? A pile of rags? Nope…you’ll find out about that one in a later post.
And now I must move on with my crazy day…filled with paperwork, friends, knitting, groceries, ortho appt. and lets not forget the ever growing list.
I also wanted to mention especially to my fellow T stands for Tuesday friends that I am no longer able to answer each of your comments as I had in the past. I just don’t have the time but I wanted you to know that I read and enjoy every single word.
I may be late visiting your blog but I’ll get there ladies!
