Go Away Pollen

With the cruel pollen floating around lately
I’ve been pretty well wiped out so I haven’t did any blogging.
Just went to work and that’s about it.
Today I have some relief but still my head feel like 25 pounds instead of 50 pounds



I did get the pillowcases done.
Which I’m planning to use for part of Christmas exchange with my in-laws.
Still I’m planning to have a calendar made. From the weather photo I take each month.
One can see how the weather changes month to month.
Now for cost of the pillowcases.
I found the pillowcase still in it original wrapper under our steps. I’m pretty sure they were my moms.
She wouldn’t mine me using them. She would think I was being thrifty and wise.
I real did fine a pattern around the place I felt comfortable using. Sense it been a while I’ve done any embroidery.
I want a simpler pattern and found one for under $2.00
I didn’t need to buy any embroidery floss.
I real didn’t carry for the color of green I had to do some lazy daisy stitches.
So I went and bought anther shade of green.
Which was right around .50¢
So it cost me well under $5.00 for pillowcases.
Not sure what wall mart charges for calendars but I believe it right around $20.00



I can’t say I real haven’t done much on the ceramic train or hen lately, I know it shouldn’t take long to finish up.
But the pollen just wipe me out. I have no energy left



I only made it to one sale yesterday called “fathers of all yard sale” Held at our local fairgrounds in Bonners Ferry.
I have to say the one in 08 was a lot better. It was just plain fantastic. This year it was completely different story.
I wasn’t to impress in general what they had.
Statement time…My brain don’t real work all that well when the pollen is heavy in the air
So that’s the only yard sale I did.
I did find one item for a $1.00 still in it original box called “grater/slice prep chef” The side of the box it says it’s a separator, slicer, course grater, and fine shedder. With a clear container.
This will be part of my winter box



Yesterday I had to go into Sandpoint which I didn’t want. But I had to go any do a training called “matrix” a pain if you want to know.
I did some shopping for my Donna.
Had a chance to look around at a few yard sale and thrift stores. I went into two different thrift stores and didn’t buy a thing.
I already spend my money I had on protecting sleeves for paper.
I bought some dahlias for my patriotic flowerbeds.
