Tuesday...Just one of those days.....

It is Tuesday and it has been a long morning! I did some crafty stuff this weekend and this week has been deemed "Clean Up Week"! I told the hubby that i would try to keep from sneaking down to my new bonus {slash sewing/crafty} room and work on scrubbing this house. Kids toys are EVERY where and i know that bothers him. Also i have this closet. It keeps haunting me. It is a closet of well....everything that doesn't have a proper place in the house. I know, i know i need to go thru it and purge...but we are not done with the house and i just know i want to use some things that are in there. But right now it is the one place that i just close the doors and walk away. Do you have a closet like that? Kinda reminds me of this.....



Do you remember this episode?? Monica's secret closet! HAHAHAHA!! Oh friends...how i miss you!! Ok back to what i was saying. I have normal day to day stuff that needs to get done...BUT...
Problem is...the bonus room is right off the laundry room. And everytime i go to do a load of laundry i see all the crafty goodness calling my name....hehe!! But if i get this house in order it will feel oh so much better and i can focus on a few upcoming projects i can't wait to get done. And by projects...i mean STUFF FOR CHRISTMAS!!! :o) More on that in a bit...

It is getting alittle cooler and cooler these days and that means STEW! I love stew. My grandmother-in-law has a quick and easy recipe that she gave to me. And i have been making it that way ever since. And it is great for days were you have tons to do and don't want to spend all afternoon in the kitchen. Here is a picture...it is just getting started.....yummy......

Easy Grandma's Stew:

2 bags of frozen veggies

2 cans of chili with turkey meat

2 cans of diced tomatoes

stew meat

Put it all together in the crock pot and there you have it!! Yep, that easy!! Hubby and kids love it.

I also was in the mood for some of these.....

Hello Cinnamon goodness! I think i will sneak a few right now with my coffee. :o)

And what is that hiding under my afternoon treat?

Well it is one of my favorite books that i love to collect every year! I pulled it out last night and started drooling over all the holiday yummies. Got me in the mood for .....CHRISTMAS! Then i was like oh my goodness...it is almost November!! So i whipped out my daily planner and started on my Christmas list. Ummmm...I don't think it is to early....do you??? HA! I have a few things i want to make for the kids this year. And i can't wait to get that started for them.

Well i'm off to partake in my sweet treat! But first i wanted to let you know....Ladies if you want to start learning to sew i have a tutorial just for you tomorrow! I made something oh so easy this weekend and i thought it would be good to share and maybe get a few of you sewing! :o) Sound good?? If so make sure to check back tomorrow! Have a great Tuesday!!
