It Went Well ...

It started
with flowers
and ended

with jewelry.

I gave Joe the Hong Kong Phooey DVD set, some Three Musketeers bars (he recently claimed they are his favorite, although we've been married almost 13 years and never knew it), and a cherry pie (his favorite). I probably got the better end of the deal.

Lucky you! I poured my heart out making Valentine's day gift bags filled with gift cards, goodies and gifts for the husband and boys, and what did I get? . . . . a card and a sweater from the husband. thats all. nothing from the boys. Oh well. I guess they have other girls to think about on Valentine's Day now. I have to admit, I liked it better when they were little and I was the only girl they thought of on Valentine's Day. :( Life marches on.

Nice! I saw a heart necklace in the Sundance catalog two days before Valentine's Day and told the hubby I was going to order it for him to give me. I knew it wouldn't come in time, regular shipping was one week, but I was happy and shocked when it came that afternoon, a thoughtful Valentine surprise from Mr. Redford's company:)

Teachers' Gifts 2012

Image
This year's edition of Teachers Gifts are adorable nest necklaces.  I made one for myself a few months ago. (I was procrastinating cleaning the house and decided, instead, to sit on my kitchen floor and make a necklace.) In the past few months, I have gotten a lot of compliments on my necklace, so I decided to make them in bulk. A friend's birthday, Mother's Day, and birthday gifts for my three sisters. So far they are a huge hit. (I personalized theirs using pink and blue pearls reflecting their children and families.) So it was no surprise when I decided to make them for the teachers this year. I saved up all my 40% Michaels coupons (and made Joe load the Michaels app onto his phone for more savings -- he must really love me). I made twelve necklaces in all.  I was able to make four necklaces from each pack of wire and each pack of chain.   To package them, I put them in small, fushcia organza bags (from Michaels) and placed them in zebra-striped ...

My Littlest Man

Image
Tomorrow my littlest man has to have surgery. It all started about last summer when I noticed some enlarged lymph nodes on his neck. (My father has non-Hodgkin lymphoma , so I am extremely paranoid cautious about this stuff.) I brought it to the attention of our doctor, but she said he had fluid in his ears and maybe it was just because he was getting sick and put him on antibiotics. But they were still there. Then I took him back in for something and mentioned it again. She looked in his ears and saw fluid in his ears again, so she put him back on antibiotics. But they were still there. Joe and I watched them for a few months, and when it was time for his well checkup, I informed her that they were still there and hadn't changed. I think it was at that time she noticed some in his groin, too. Anyway, she sent us to an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist. For some strange reason, the morning of Sawyer's first appointment, he awoke with these two large, walnut-sized glands un...

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.
