I got up when My Honey left for work.
He made me a coffee before he left - what a sweetheart he is!
I settle on the couch and found myself a Christmas movie to watch.
Write Before Christmas.
I thought it was pretty good.
Meanwhile, at work, My Honey was preparing ribs for the smoker.
He is doing ribs & shrimp for his work bbq tomorrow.
He sure feeds those guys well.
After my movie, I got to work.
I wanted to put this swag I have up over my curtains.
Last year I just kind of hung it over the top of the curtains but it didn't look that great.
So this year, I screwed some stake posts together, enough to make it longer than my curtain rod.
Then I unearthed our staple gun so I could staple the swag to the stakes.
I just could not get the staple gun to work.
I was about to go buy a new one when it dawned on me that I had put the staples in wrong.
Ha ha.
It worked pretty good after that.
My niece came over to do crafts.
She brought along the Halloween sign that she'd made so she could paint 'Home Sweet Home' on the back.
She had to put a coat of stain on it first and I got busy making the stencil.
She wanted the 'O' in home to be replace with a dog paw.
We got the stencil all ready to go but it wouldn't stick to the sign because it wasn't dry enough yet so we'll have to finish it another time.
She left not long after so we didn't get a whole lot accomplished but we made plans to do it again next week.
Her sign should be good and dry by then.
My Honey sent me this picture of some spools they have at work and asked if I wanted him to bring a couple home.
I'm not sure exactly what we can make with them yet but of course I told him to bring them.
I hate to see things go to waste and we'll come up with something to do with them.
After my niece left, I finished up a few details with the decorations then I just sat and enjoyed them.
I picked up this little owl chair for Baby F yesterday, her mom loves owls and I couldn't resist.
I haven't gotten around to painting a design on the mini table My Honey made but I did set it up next to ours and I love it.
Excuse the dishes in the sink - aside from that, it's looking festive in here.
I'm still loving the wreaths on the cupboards.
They were a lot less work this year seeing as the ribbon was already cut for each one.
I love the giant gingerbread cookie cutter I got.
Not sure if we'll use it but it looks good as a decoration.
I thought of going to the store to pick up something for supper but then decided I should just make something with ingredients that I already had here.
I started by cooking up some ground beef we had then I just kept adding things and it turned into soup.
Pretty darn good soup too if I do say so myself.
My Honey liked it too, even though he did have to wait a little bit for it to cook after he got home.
Notice the swag on the curtains in the background - I think it turned out great.
I might dress it up with some snowflakes (or maybe not, we'll see).
We watched some 'bad lip syncing' videos on YouTube before calling it a night.
Another of those cat memes going around, this one struck me funny too.
That is all for today, until next time, be happy!
