It may come to this ......
Never thought I would raid my neighbor with my 22 survival rifle for the granny with crochet needles and yarn.
LOL ....
One of the low carb docs I follow (who has a great sense of humor), said healthy patients are calling & wanting anti-viral drugs (as a preventative). He told them if he gives the drugs to healthy patients, what will he have left for the sick patients .... walk out the door, look left and right & see that you are not the only person in the world. His neighbor ran out of toilet paper and asked the doc for a roll ...OF COURSE he gave his neighbor a roll ... $50 bucks is $50 bucks!!
If you want to see some great toilet paper memes (where I got the picture), go to powerlineblog at:

Very nice!!
H/T Ellendra. :)
I have so many projects/supplies stashed away, I can’t even find them all anymore.
That’s stolen!
My supplies are in my will :)
I like the bunny behind the stitchery too.
As you know, I host the ‘Gardening Thread’ each week, too.
We are to have two rainy, chilly days coming up and I AM going to do one of two things - clean out my clothes closet (which I’ve been b!tchin’ about for a YEAR, now) or clean out my craft stash to include all of my craft books, hooks and yarn..
I’ll let you know what makes the cut tomorrow. :)
I’m sorting seeds, cleaning out clothes closet and plan to wash my curtains this weekend!
Whee.
LOL! I haven’t been able to actually walk into my clothes closet in over a year.
A very good ‘rainy day’ or ‘shelter-in-place’ activity.
I’m in the middle of making one out of Stripes, in their Parrot Stripe colors. I hope I have enough yarn to make a matching hat. Almost all of my crocheting is done for different charities these days. Mainly, because my family runs when I ask if they need anything crocheted. Lol.
True!
I like to make quilts and at this point, I could make several more without having to go out and buy fabric.
But I will anyways.
I like to check Hobby Lobby’s close out bin. They often have some end of bolt of some nice calico for a good price.
Now that mr. mm and I are not going out, we are getting much more done at home.
I am FINALLY tackling the filing, a chore I HATE.
Going through closets and and getting rid of old kids stuff and homeschool curriculum. I need to go through the clothes and see what fits and what I seriously think I’ll wear and what I haven’t touched in years.
I’m starting to get past the sentimental value part of a lot of stuff.
I’m past the ‘sentimental’ thing, too; the older I get, the more I want to concentrate on quality, rather than quantity.
If you haven’t worn it in a year, pitch it,
(Of course, that gives you an excuse to buy something new and pretty...:-)
A couple things have helped me.
One is that when my m-i-l passed, guess who got to go through her stuff and clean out her TWO places (she was a snowbird).
The thing that did was put me in the mindset that when I look at something, I look at it as my kids would and if I were them, would I keep it?
Mostly *No*.
That’s when I really started letting things go.
Now, if only I could get mr. mm on board with that.......
