Count Down Begins

 
 
I have exactly 3 weeks
until I begin my migration.
I have a list with exactly 12 things
I need to finish
while I reorganize and store my supplies
for the winter.
(Upon my return,
I won't be able to find a thing!)

Yesterday morning,
 I rose nice and early, ready to work.
And work I did!!

But I...
(Oh, my goodness, it's snowing!!)
...didn't do one thing on the list.
I started a new project instead!
And was obsessed with working on it ALL day!



*
Need a new 'take a-long' recipe for the holidays?
My daughter found this dip recipe on Pinterest.
It is out of this world.

Although it's called "Skinny Poolside Dip",
I think it would be a delicious addition to any holiday get-together.
I don't like to cook,
but I'd make this and bring it along with me anywhere,
any time,
and I believe it would be a big hit!
It calls for chopped jalepeno peppers.  I don't think it's too hot,
as a matter of fact, I don't think it's hot at all,
but if that concerns you, I don't see why you can't substitute a can
of chopped green chilis.  This will give you that spicy taste
without the heat!


 
This little kitty rides back and forth to university with her mom.
Looks like she's ready to go!!
 
As am I....to the cutting table!!
 
Have a wonderful day,
karen

  1. Temptation can be strong so I say "go with it." I often start new projects in the midst of a "mess." Thanks for sharing -- I love new and yummy recipes. My mantra for Winter -- Just say NO to snow!

  10. snowing! the weather people have been talking about snow for us but now I don't think it will get here. The mountains, maybe!
    I like your little sneak peek.
    I am off to check out the recipe.

  11. Uh-oh a new project (or the thought of a new project) always deters me from what I'm supposed to be doing, which is something usually less fun.
    Oh no - snow!! I am not a cold weather person, maybe one snow day a year and then I'm done. That looks like a sneak peek of something cute, and a cute little kitty as well.

  17. It looks like you have a lot of planning on the go. I laughed when I read you had started something new instead of one of the projects on your list. We are all likely to do that.
    Looking back through your posts i see that you have finished one of Gail Pan's designs. It looks great.
    And the area where you live looks delightful, too.

  19. Looks yummy. I do like dips. But my diet doesn't. I read the story of your injured young friend and the wonderful quilt you made her. The photo of her receiving it shows a real smile. Some goodness has entered her life. :)
