I still think that the Monday following the Superbowl should be a holiday and everyone gets to sleep in. Especially if they insist on making it so late.
Anyway, good morning lol.
It's a good morning. The game last night sucked but I am not sorry about who won. Darnold deserved it after being written off the way he was.
Today I am working for Chris sitting with her grandmother. While I'm here I'll be working online.
I'm saving for the CD organizer for up at Gram's. We have so many CD's and now we have more since Gram's passing. I'm hoping to get it soon because the disorganization is driving me nuts.
I've been working on multiple blanket projects. I have the Packers one for Chris, the pink to black ombre one for Kristie and now I started a thin red line one in general. I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable selling the blankets but I am loving it. Hopefully this new one turns out, I'm pretty nervous about it.
I also now have everything for seed beads. I really want to do some bracelets for the fourth of July but I also really want to make earrings. Fingers crossed I can figure this out. There are still parts that confuse me, then again I was the same with crochet and I just stuck with it.
I am actually free tonight, no meetings.
I'm hoping to have some orders roll in soon. We have two Valentine's Day bundles and I'll be doing a few Superbowl things. I've done some little candy hearts in a mason jar, I think I'll be stopping the loaded teas.
Just a few changes to the shop but hopefully good ones.
Here's hoping this day goes by.
I'm still reading a couple Carrie Ann Ryan ARCs. I really need to get them done and reviewed.
What's everyone else doing today?

I have a TeleHealth appointment today with my doctor. I'm glad I don't have to go to his office. It's going to be 46 today which is about 20 degrees warmer than it's been for weeks. No below zero or single digit temperatures for the next 7 days!!!!!!

@LindaOHio I love icicles, they're so pretty. I just hate how cold it has to be for them to form.

I hope that your blankets turn out. Bracelets and earrings sound interesting. Will you share pics of them on here?
Enjoy your free evening.

I will. I can't wait to share the picture of the blanket I'm making too. My husband has claimed this one now and I'm not even done.
The earrings and bracelets are in the works. I think I have the loom figured out so now we can experiment lol. I already make bracelets, this is just a different type of bracelet. These are the style I used to wear all the time.

@celticeagle No the blanket is white and black right now. It will have a red line in it. It's the firefighter's flag, the thin red line.

@JordanLader I can't function well in cold weather and I will take my time getting out of bed. My husband watches tv in bed all morning so that doesn't help. I can 't wait for Spring/Summer to get here!

I'm really hoping that when the weather changes I can get my butt in gear. Right now I say that I want to do things but I can't seem to drag myself to do most of them. If I can get about half of what I have planned done, it's a win.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl but saw all the highlights including the half-time show this morning.,
All your plans for your shop sound like things that would sell so I hope you can get everything you want to do done. Finding out what is going to sell is usually a trial and error.
I'm working on organizing too and sometimes I feel that I make more of a mess than what I accomplish.
I set myself a reading goal for this year and just started the newest book in the Alex Cross series by James Patterson.
Otherwise, just the usual stuff to do around the house and trying to stay warm,

You didn't miss anything with the game. It was like a Sunday afternoon game. One they would toss in because they don't think they'll get the ratings.
I watched the All American Half Time and absolutely loved it. I'm not a Bad Bunny fan. I'm glad that people liked it though.
Organizing is always a mess before it looks better. Drives me insane but that's the way it is. I need to get a few more things out but that may not happen for a bit because they're big items.
I use Good Reads for my reading goal, I just don't have the attention span lately to read. I'm hoping it'll change though. Maybe once things get organized and calm down a bit.

What game? There was no game. What's funny is that they said this is where the Denver-Carolina game was played as well and I called that game rigged too because it was just as bad as this one. You can't tell me that decent teams just turn to crap in one game. Doesn't happen.

@Rimps85 I wouldn't know what to do with nothing to do. Even Monday night, I didn't have meetings but I did my blanket. I'm excited to see it finished. I don't know if I'll ever sell my crochet but I enjoy it. I do see why they cost so much now though.
