I've been cooking, and sewing and..........

It's Today's Thrifty Treasures over at Southern Hospitality , but we haven't had much in the way of yard sales or thrift store treasures this week. Here's just two little things, and a few pictures of what I have been up to today.


This little burp cloth for .19, I purchased it mainly as a pattern.


Picked up this old bowl for 1.00 a couple of weeks ago. Looks very old and I love it!

Now you will see what I have been up to, today. I will be visiting my son tomorrow, and I like to take a home cooked meal, as well as leave something for my sweet husband who will be working,

I cooked 3chickens, known as beer butt chicken, but we used lemon lime soda. The taste is the same, you just need something fizzy.

some steamed cabbage and stewed squash,

a big pot of roast, carrots and potatoes, and I will probably add some good ole mac & cheese tonight.

Then I have been doing some of this, making a long awaited dust ruffle for my daughter. I just wish I was a better seamstress, and this would be a little easier. Hopefully I will finish this up tonight also. Hope you all have a wonderful week, I will be away until Thursday. Jackie

OMG, I couldn't figure out what the heck those things were on my teenie tiny mini laptop! I had to laugh because ehey reminded me of an old cartoon where the little chickens were dancing upright with each other. LOL

Your dinner looks real good, what a fantastic mom you are.to make all that and sew a dust ruffle, too.

Oh, and a great deal on the cool old bowl, too! :-) Sue
