We declared today a 'snow day' and went to the movies this afternoon!
We saw 'The Secret Life of Bees' and it was wonderful!
It is definitely best to have read the book first to develop the characters more fully.
I was so impressed with the book when I read it that I convinced my hubby to read it....
so we both knew the story well, from reading it AND discussing it!
A MUST SEE........can't wait to buy it in DVD to watch it again.....and again!
Perfect casting.....love each and every character!
What a great way to spend a cold and windy afternoon! Back to work now....... ; )

What's missing?
I made this recipe today and it was delicious......but I ADDED 2 ingredients and it came out perfect! A very moist, sweet and delicious cake!
No one GUESSED the two missing ingredients and I just realized I better POST them QUICK! I added 2 EGGS! I don't remember ever making a cake without eggs and with all the ingredients AND 2 eggs......this was a wonderful flavorful cake!

An Apron a day........
.......keeps the doldrums away! heehee!
I've had so much fun making aprons this week!
I got the pattern from the delightful blog, "One More Moore".
I found this site when I was parusing "Free Patterns"! What a COOL site!
I'm seeing ruffles......and how can you feel 'blue' wearing ruffles!

Now what do I do? I would love some of your suggestions!
This is vintage fabric and I'm not sure it is strong enough to make a full size quilt
(I would need to LEARN to quilt! heehee!)
So what are some of your ideas? I am anxious to get started!
I washed it all and I will need to press it and then.........???

I went to a sale at Magpie's this weekend and picked up some treasures. They were having an anniversary sale and she had the store decorated for Fall. I wish I had taken pics of the cookies I brought home for hubby ( I just have the napkin for the photo!) There were black cat cookies and lots of cute designs!
I love shopping the clearance area of my favorite stores! I got some cute things and didn't pay a whole lot either! And everything smells so good!

I spent all my creative time today looking at creative blogs! I've found links on a friend's blog and then links on those sites and I've seen some amazing crafts! I am excited!
But necessity is the mother of invention.......and I wanted a creative way to wrap some small gifts this week and came up with 'gift pouches'!
I took a page from a Home Companion magazine....
Folded it, turned it over and taped it along the center, folded the bottom, taped.......
slipped a little necklace in the bag and taped the top.
And why make ONE......when you can make dozens! heehee!

I studied 'dolls' in school!
Do I have an excuse for collecting dolls now? heehee!
This book is "The New Discovering Numbers" Grade 3 copyright 1959! PERFECT!
And one of the pages should help when I am 'convinced' I NEED a new doll!
I collect children's books, too and was thrilled to find this one for sale in the lobby of the library! What a great find! Maybe I should study the math! lol
