I have two spices for today.
Our dear friend from the blog Trundling Through Life suggested I try granny squares. I had to google what exactly that was but I’ve now tried a sunflower pattern and she was spot on! It was really fun. I loved the new challenge today and I’m excited about memorizing the pattern (my memory has been rotten for the past few years; it’ll be nice to challenge it in this new way).
Second spice: Starbucks soy mocha. When I was a merchandizer at ten different stores, about six of them containing Starbucks, it was the easiest thing to buy Starbucks coffee all the time (and such a waste of money). Those days are far behind me. Now I pretty much only buy Starbucks when I have a gift card. Which just so happened to be today.
I had a Christmas gift card from a family at the daycare and I truly believe that fancy coffee tastes SOOO much more delicious when it’s a generous gift on rare occasion. It was lovely.
Oh I'm so glad you've tried granny squares. They can be such fun! I have several throws which I have made. And thank you for the mention.
ReplyDeleteIt is really neat turning a ball of string into something creative and pretty.
DeleteWhat a blessing. Gift cards are so nice. You can treat yourself without guilt.
ReplyDeleteYes!
