I love the centerpiece on your table, and I am going to try your 'hash brown nests' some time - that sounds both tasty and attractive. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953658765665122662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-9845735489908881882015-03-28T20:54:17.719-04:002015-03-28T20:54:17.719-04:00I love your weekly frugal happenings.

I had been gifted the book, "Benjamin's Box" by a friend and went about making my own set of eggs for my daughter to open instead of buying it premade. She loved it. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473131878856957092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-89278390669816241742015-03-28T19:14:32.513-04:002015-03-28T19:14:32.513-04:00Loved the rose story/lesson. :-) I have a huge w...Loved the rose story/lesson. :-) I have a huge window in the kitchen. Our one table for the house sits by it. The window is bigger than the table. Too big. All through the years I have tried different window treatments but all seem wrong. One day I will figure this out! I did find some used pieces of material I loved and got them and even if the 'look' still is not right when I get them sewn they will be better than none...which is what is there now!! <br /> I set up my wood ironing board by the back door or use the pull our board from the counter with a towel on for quick jobs. No matter when I use either that is the one place that someone wants to be and I am in the way!! Any other day no one would be needing that space! isn't life funny!!<br />I have another made ahead and frozen dinner idea to use tonight for dinner. Add a few new sides and dinner will be done! I found several new ideas for sides I know we will love and will be trying them. Isn't it interesting how the same ingredients put together differently and spiced up makes a whole new dish!! After 45 years I needed some more new recipes! <br /> The outdoors is pulling me more each day that it heats up. 90s this week. :( :) While it is still cooler I need to work and get what I can done. If it is not done by the end of June it is too late. It is too hot to do anything but go out and pick and water.<br /> I would not recognize your home if I saw it but I 'see' it in my mind as you describe projects and such. Like I said, it feels like we all know you even if we really are not personally there! We get and give each other inspiration and information and pep talks! <br />I was getting something out of the freezer and discovered a couple things I forgot I had. Now they are off the grocery list. Also found a couple things rooting around in storage to use in a new way and that helped also. We went to Salvation Army and found a sturdy plant stand for half price.I thought full price was fair so half was great!! Lately we must get there when all we would want has been bought. What is left looks very very haggard and useless for us. Than after being married so many years what do we really "need"? :-) Most of the time we are looking for others as many tell us what to look for when we are out and about. Well it is time to get supper done!

Your little rose story made me cry but also gave me hope, thank you. I was wondering how big your table ironing board is, would it fit on an open kitchen drawer to support it for extra room? I do that for extra cutting board space sometimes. Have a good week, April soon!
