we got them at pier one and we got two of the floral ones ......and four of the striped ones...i think we need to go back for two more floral ........they are soooooooooooooo spring like
i was thrilled as we needed new mugs and i just love the colors.... then when we got home, we had to order more firewood.... will real spring ever arrive?
meanwhile i am plugging away with the copyright work. i've decided to split the files into their respective series, and then make each of those series a zip file to upload.
after this i am hoping to do copyright quarterly, and i am hoping to do at least 40 images at a time
so i am working on that.. it's starting to get a bit easier.
i am making the files slightly larger then thumbnails
and i am embedding information into the digital signatures of each image
and also today i am making approximately 4.5 pounds of cranberry orange sauce.
some i'm using for a pork loin, the rest is for table use.
i've got another bunch of pounds of berries in the freezer
along with parakeet seed we got today
i am also drinking a cup of tea in one of our new striped mugs. i like the mug, i think the handle is a bit light weight..... but then again maybe not
i do like it .......i think it's a 16oz mug
i'll measure it later
the floral ones made me want to replace our every day dishes....... we're still talking about that
i can't justify it as we still have ok dishes..... corelle
and these mugs are stonewear..........
we'll continue to think about it
well that is my current news..... oh and it snowed a bit today
ha.........summer will never ever come or so it feels like it now
how about by you?
I have Corelle dishes I have had for 20-25 years. I would probably like new ones, but the old ones are still ok, and I have a lot of them, so I can't really justify buying a bunch of new plates and serving platters and bowls to replace everything I have. I do think about it sometimes, though.
ReplyDeletehow you folks doing down there ?
ReplyDeletei know you've had some winter this year...
our corelle is about 38 years old give or take
it's stained, chipped and parts of the pattern have worn off!
i know that it's 'unbreakable' but actually after all these years it explodes into a billion shards when it does break- but just a basic set of the ironstone.....even onsale, is way more then we can afford or justify
i use assorted platters and serving bowls mainly in white....or my favorite big plummy red bowls...or glass...... so getting the serving pieces isn't really an issue ...... and i tend to mix patterns anyway... but the basic....... plate/salad/bowl well over 100 for a set of six ONSALE!........ yeah...no
We are fine. Our weather has been like a roller coaster--down around freezing for a while (which is cold for SE Texas), then back up to 65 or 70 for a few days, then cold again. We planted a few tomatoes and green peppers in pots on our apartment patio, and immediately had to cover them. We will keep them covered for the next week, and then we should be able to uncover them. If we don't get the tomatoes started in Feb., it gets too hot for them before they really bear.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday.
thank you for the birthday wishes!!!!
ReplyDeletei keep saying i'm going to start seeds....and then sometimes stops me
i think it's the sleep deprivation!
