Today is my second day calling in sick for work. I don’t feel that bad, it’s more about not spreading the sore throat and tickly cough to my client. I’m hoping to go back tomorrow and will talk to her about when I can make up the missed hours, but in the mean time, since I really don’t feel too bad, I’m trying to make the most of extra time at home.
So I made banana bread and muffins. Some of the muffins went into the freezer. My son likes these for a quick snack or easy breakfast. I mix white and whole wheat flour for extra fiber.
I did something I’ve had on my mental to-do list longer than I want to admit. I stitched up this spot on our bedspread:
We thrifted this blanket probably a year ago. I love the thickness, vibrant colors, and that it’s 2-sided. Sometimes I go with the stripes, sometimes I do the other side.
My room is arranged differently now, but you can see the flip side of the bedspread.
The main issue was that if I didn’t tuck the blanket in, when I walked past the end of the bed, my toe would get caught in the hole. So I finally stitched it up and shouldn’t be tripped by it anymore!
I listed 2 new items on ebay: a lot of vintage drawer pulls and a vintage apron.
I did a wee bit of decluttering, which always makes me feel better. I found a sheet and moo-moo style dress to get rid of. I gave them to my daughter to see if she can use them in making a cat bed. I also decided to sell the above mentioned apron. So 3 things out of my closets. I especially like to get rid of stuff before the holidays, when I’ll be bringing more in.
Hopefully his new bed will be more comfortable than this!
Do you like to declutter before the holidays?
