Crafting, baking, and such

Moving right along in the crafting arena - the first poinsettia flower is finished on the hook rug tree skirt. 

Hoping to keep to my goal of completing this by the end of February. It is destined for entry in the 2025 Amador County Fair. I will not be entering anything in the California State Fair. 

I have been concentrating on this craft because it is too cold outside for gardening. 

I didn't make fruitcake for Christmas this past season. When the Mr. asked why we didn't have fruitcake, I thought no one wanted it. I so missed it that I made a batch to be ready for my birthday on June 25. 

After wrapping the loaves in sherry-soaked cheesecloth, it takes a few months for the dessert to be ready to eat.

My new laptop arrived - I am so happy to have a touchscreen back again. Worth the extra $.

I was also this many years old when I discovered I could send my iPhone images to One Drive rather than emailing them to myself.

This is the time of year when thrifting goes boring. There are the clothes that are discarded and cashmere sweaters that appear at thrift. For my type of stuff, it is a dry spell. 

Seller update: Another eBay milestone - my first $200 week in sales.🤑My usual hovers around $100 a week. I have over 2,700 active listings. My next listing session will be Girl/Boy Scout items.
