ICY!

We just get the snow cleaned up and it starts to rain!
making our steep driveway a bobsled run! I just watched the news and the worst is yet to come. I would have prefered snow this is a mess!

So I have stayed in and made cookies. Ugg doing to many things at once.

But in the end all was well. I have made 5 different kinds and will take the sugar cookies to be decorated with Sweet B. 

I also cut up a few oranges and made a pot of soup. 
So I have made good use of a rainy cold day. 

Now on to what I got at the church sale. 
This lovely large hand woven wool throw. I have cleaned it, now it is lovely, soft and warm. 

This jacket is Ralph Lauren and is perfect for spring or fall or if you want to dress up a pair of jeans. The leg warmers are for my winter walks or snowshoeing.

Croft and Barrow vest. I wear a vest most days in the winter. 

A holiday dish towel and a cookie cookbook. 

And at a thrift store I got this amazing real down jacket. 
Such great deals on this trip. After i got home I cleaned out my closet of all the clothes that no longer fit. I lost 50lbs during covid and have held onto the old clothes just in case. I have finally cleaned it all out. 

When I got home a sweet friend had sent me a set of cookie cutters.
I was just saying I wanted a small star cutter. 

My grand Sweet B has been stitching for some time and she has done a pair of jeans. Such a great job!!!

Bravo Sweet B for being handy with a needle.

I will leave you with the recipe for the cookies above.
It is from King Arthur Flour. 
*****
Have a wonderful rest of your week.

Our snow was melting and then we got ice, and now snow is coming down again! Uuugh!
Your cookies look so pretty and good.
You got some great deals! And good for you for keeping off that 50 pounds, that's a huge accomplishment.
Your granddaughter did a marvelous job on those jeans!

You sure did a lot considering all that ice - I would rather have snow as well. Lots of nice clothes too. I was going to ask you for a copy of the recipe for the cookies. Anyway you can send it to me - not sure if I can see it the way it is posted. Would love to make. Be careful in the ice!
