Get R Done Friday!

This is my first time to participate in this

Friday Meme.

Get R Done Friday is hosted

by ClassyChassy at

Expressly Corgi.

I found out about from

Barbara Jean at Treasures From The Heart.

Thank you Barbara Jean

for letting me know about this opportunity.

I imagine most of the time I will do this meme

on my Sewing and Craft Blog,

but today I did something in the kitchen.

I have been home sick the last three days,

but today I felt better enough to tackle the kitchen.

I am almost too embarrassed to show you the

before picture.

But then you might not realize how bad it was

and why I needed to tackle the kitchen.

So without further ado,

here is embarrassing picture.

See what I mean.

Almost can't even see the counter.

I don't feel like doing anything when it is that bad.

So time to get at it.

I started with loading the dishwasher.

Then I put away what was in the drainer

which is in the sink.

And I went on from there.

In the process of putting things away,

I came across this candle warmer.

The scent is getting weak in the candle that is in there

which is a Pumpkin Spice type of scent.

I think I have melted the scent away now from

frequent use.

Time to put another candle in there.

TA DA!!

I did it!

There is the proof.

You can even still see the damp spot from wiping down the counters.

LOL!!

Ahhhh.....

Looks so much better.

The stove area.
I even hid some things up in the cupboard.
B-Daddy is probably going to have do some hunting.
The coffee cup on the stove is my cup for the day.
Currently it is right here beside me as I type
not there on the stove anymore.
heehee

The microwave over the stove does not work,
so we have this on the counter one we use.
Someday we will replace the over the stove one.
But they are not cheep I mean cheap.

I decided to put out my Halloween placemats I made last year.
Some of you may remember my posts about making those.
The table runner looks a little big for the breakfast bar area.

A close up of the yum yum fabric.

And the witches hat fabric.

Another view.

In the corner there you can still see B-Daddy paper tiger stack.

I will leave that for him.

I originally made this placemat and tablerunner set

for the round table we have in the family room.

I may still move it over there.

But guess what?

I have to clean it off first.

LOL!

For today, this is all I can handle.

Hope you have a great Friday!

Blogging Learning

I have been playing around with the customize feature and trying different backgrounds. I finally decided that for both of my blogs I would just go with a simple background and choose the colors I want on them. I want to make it easy to read. One of the backgrounds I had chosen made for difficult reading and I know it can be frustrating to read something against a busy background, so I decided to keep it simple for now.

Also I decided to stay home from work today. Edward was home also due to his new schedule of working 4/10. Since my back was still sore from whatever I had done to it on Saturday, another day at home made sense. Actually it gave me a chance to relax a bit more and allow that sore area to loosen up. I think it helped quite a bit to do that. I will go to work tomorrow and when I go to my Physical Therapy appointment I will have to tell her about my painful weekend. She may work on that part of my back as well as the lower part I was originally getting treatment for at this time.

I was able to get more sewing done today while Edward tackled some decluttering. It is a relief to have him deal with the piles of paper tiger as I call it. It was getting so I never had the energy to take care of it. Having him do it helped a lot. He did a lot of it while watching the Olympics. I have to say today was a productive day. I just wish it was cooler. I am not a fan of hot weather. And today it got quite warm. It is still warm out, but it shouldn't be too long before we can open the windows and let the cooling breezes blow through.
