So busy getting our house ready to sell there's not much (at all) sewing going on. But cooking...that's never ignored. Ever heard of Assassin's Spaghetti? Check this link out.....fascinating... Even though I like hot/spicy food....I'd cut back on the red pepper flakes the next time

GO PACK GO........let's get that wild cart spot today!!!!!
LOOK what I found while packing for our new life experience out West?!? This is my Raggedy Andy doll, my twin sister got Raggedy Ann. I estimate they were given to us in about 1947-48. Sadly, there is no little one to pass this onto in our family.....so I'll try to sell it. :(. Any collectors interested??
Bet a lot of you had one too....never know when fun memories will come flooding back!!!
2024!?! How did we get here so fast? Wishing all you faithful followers the very best in the coming year.
This is the time when many folks take stock of their lives, and perhaps begin anew. Well.....since we are already in the 4th quarter of our lives, we are making a HUGE change. Believe me I didn't see this coming!!
When we moved from our custom 'dream Wisconsin retirement home' over looking the Sugar River in 2000, I was stunned. I never thought I'd leave Wisconsin.
Yes, I know it's a growing year for our team....they have the youngest team in all of NFL.......but Packer fans never give up. We'll be cheering tomorrow night......gotta "LOVE" them.
Thanks to my good friend Linda Cantrell, I was surprised with fabulous (and toasty) Packer hat that she knit for me!!! Thank you girlfriend💕
GO PACK GO!!! 🏈🏈🎉
"The husband" is a meat eater......I can do without it for the most part.....but occasionally he treats himself to an excellent restaurant cut of beef from Snake River Farms in Idaho.
He bought a HUGE hunk of short ribs which I've managed to store in my small freezer until the holidays.
He had to cut it into 3 sections and vacuum pack them for their Sous Vide bath. It was so full I had to weight the meat down with a plate and pie weights!!
When nicely precooked for hours, he smoked it on our grill......there was and is some good eating........
What a treat......besides a Packer win this weekend......Christmas brought me the most beautiful box of chocolate I've ever seen. Not to mention delicious!!
The box made me feel like I was being presented with a precious piece of jewelry.
YOU'LL NEVER TAKE THE WISCONSIN OUT OF ME........MERRY CHRISTMAS!
AND BY THE WAY......GO PACK GO!!!!!!
I imagine most quilt groups have their own versions of Christmas gift exchanges......PTA (Professional Textile Artists) does too......sadly each year we seem to not remember exactly which rules our white elephant exchange should follow....hilarity ensues. I saved the best for 2nd last photo. It was the gift I selected....there was a card that read: "I saw you look at me when you came in. Match something up and I'll go home with you. Look Around!" In the envelope was a small length of imitation pearls. Pretty soon we were all scouting around the house looking. See what we found by referring to the last pictures. The rest of the photos speak for themselves.....I've been with this group for 18 years.....there's never a dull moment!!!
SOLD. Yikes, it's been awhile since I posted.......but I have a good reason. As I mentioned previously, we decided to downsize.....an overdue decision I might add.
