Whats for dinner

This is my feature where I'll post my reviews of products we used to make dinner that evening. Some will be recipes others will be quick meals.

Tonights dinner is using the slow cooker easy meal  Beef stew from Sams choice. I had come down with a cold so wanted my family to have a great dinner that I could set and forget. 

So after it was done I cooked it for 8 hours in the slow cooker as directed. It was good, unlike a lot of these ready meals this one did not taste salty. My son who is two ate a lot of it. The meat was very tender. It could have used a little more beef flavor as in spices. Over all I would purchase it again though I did find the price of it a little high. It was 9.50 a bag.

Knitting and healing

Hello Everyone And thank you for coming by. I have not done my blogging this way in a while I have been doing a lot more Podcast. I think I will try to start doing both,just because I have a lot going on during the day and to share. So thank you for coming by.

Sweater I'm working on for Pen hook and needles sweater along.

So this week I am not putting out a podcast. The reason why (and many of you know I'm a very stubborn, do it myself type person) so with that I desided to rework my office and craft space while my son was taking his nap. This would not have been an issue except I got a little to ahead of myself andd tried to move my very large office desk. In doing so the back large shelf fell hit me in the head right at my forhead just under my hairline. I receved a 4in gash needing 13 stitches and a ride with my son in an ambulance. So I am on the mend now,I just look like I have been in a fight. That is why I felt I did not want to put a podcast out,but that does not mean I cant blog.


I'll start what is on my needles............ I am working on my C.C.’s Vanilla Cappuccino Socks by C.C. Almon. I love this pattern very easy knit and is realy turning out nice. I still have not found my other ball of Yarn I used wool-free sock by premier yarn. The color way is grapes.

So this has realy been the only thing I have worked on. I took a break again from my sweater because I ran into an issue and just got frustrated. 

So I think that is everything......Im working on getting back to normal and heal from my injury.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and I cant wait to do my podcast up again.

So it has been a crazy week. My son after getting over his ear infection  Monday night came down with a stomach bug........than I got it on Thursday. I'm on the mend but it really put things back a little. It did give me the opportunity  to finally figure out why my video would not upload and finally get it up after a week of trying. So I thank you for all your patience  and next week I will be in full podcast mode and will have items to show you.......and no can't wait to show you how the reading mitts are turning out using my Why knot Fibers...... I love this Yarn.
