Hello blog friends. It's been a while since I've made and shared with you any crochet projects. I was working on another crochet Appa, but I took a break from working on it.
I had my monthly zoom knit/crochet meeting last week. I needed something easy to work on for our meeting. I was happy when I found this free crochet pattern to make these boho triangle coasters.
You may remember seeing this photo from my Friday Favorites - May blog post. These coasters are fun to make and perfect to use for summer entertaining.

Hello blog friends.
I have my Friday Favorites - May Edition:
My daughter came home from college for a visit last weekend. We had a great time celebrating my daughter who will be turning 21 years old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by!
I decorated our mantel with decorations for her birthday.
I cooked one of my daughter's favorite pasta dishes for dinner. We also had a delicious strawberry shortcake to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time with my daughter but she had to return to college Monday. She will be finished with school in two weeks and I look forward to spending more time with her this summer.
I was pleasantly surprised on Tuesday when these beautiful roses were delivered to me. The roses are from Venus Et Fleur and they will last one year with no water necessary. These gorgeous roses are from my daughter. I just love how pretty they look and they smell amazing!
I had my monthly zoom knit/crochet meeting this week. I was inspired to make some crocheted coasters. I love crocheting small projects and using cotton yarn during the warmer months.
I took Bosco for his evening walk the other night and saw these pretty tulips. I love looking at the green grass and pretty trees.
On my way into a store I noticed these unique painted rocks and a few of them say peace and love. These painted rocks reminded me of Linda's Crafty Corner who loves to paint the prettiest rocks.
My daughter brought home some snacks she didn't want anymore. My husband and I enjoyed snacking on these animal crackers. I remember giving these crackers to my daughter when she was little!
Wishing you a happy Friday and Mother's Day weekend!
Hello blog friends and happy May!
It's that time of the month again where we can share our Amazon Prime Purchases at Tanya's blog. I always enjoy taking a peak at what other people are buying at Amazon.
My Daughter's Purchases:
SIWENGDE Compatible for iPad Air 4 Case 2020 with Pencil Holder, iPad Air 4th Generation Case [Supports Pencil 2nd Gen Charging] Shockproof Smart Shell iPad 10.9 Inch Stand Cover (Pink)
My daughter recently bought a new ipad and she needed a new case cover.
2 Pack Jump Rope, QILEBI Tangle-Free skipping Ropes with 5 Pcs Resistance Loop Bands, Adjustable Jumping Rope with Latex Workout Bands for Home Fitness Gym, Slim Body, Strength Training & Speed Training for women men
My daughter ordered this jump rope set with the workout bands to work out in her dorm room.
Disposable Face Masks, Clinivex Colored Face Masks of 50 Pack, 3-Ply Breathable Face Masks with Nose Wire.
Look at these fun and colorful face masks!
CELSIUS Sparkling Peach Vibe Fitness Drink, Zero Sugar, 12oz. Slim Can (Pack of 12)
Having a fitness drink with zero sugar, and vitamins added is the perfect drink for working out.
What I ordered for us:
Yoosteel Gold Initial Necklaces for Women Girls, 14K Gold Plated Dainty Layering Paperclip Link Chain Necklace Personalized Coin Initial Layered Gold Necklaces for Women
I know that layered chains are all the rage right now. These necklaces come separately so you can wear just one or both of the necklaces together. This initial necklace will look great with my spring and summer outfits.
Lamicall Cell Phone Stand, Desk Phone Holder Cradle, Compatible with Phone 12 Mini 11 Pro Xs Max XR X 8 7 6 Plus SE, All Smartphones Charging Dock, Office Desktop Accessories - Silver
I ordered one of these phone stands for myself and I love it. When my hubby saw it he decided he wanted one for his desk too. I ordered him one in black.
ZIZOR Women's Rhinestone Open Toe Slippers with Memory Foam, Ladies' Faux Fur House Slippers for Women Slip On, Cross Band House Shoes for Indoor Outdoor
I was in need of new slippers and ordered these because of the good reviews. These slippers are so comfortable and they can be thrown in the washing machine to clean.
Have you bought anything lately from Amazon?
Hello blog friends.
I have my Friday Favorites - April Edition:
I was so happy to have my second vaccine shot done at the beginning of April. I had a sore arm with my first shot, and the second shot I was tired the next day and my arm hurt. I'm glad to be fully vaccinated now and that the restrictions have eased up a bit here. I look forward to getting back to a more normal life.
We're happy that this weekend our daughter will be coming home for a visit. It's the first time she will be home since she left to go back to college in January. We'll be celebrating her 21st birthday!
I'm happy I read two books this month. I bought both books on a shopping trip to BJ's and they were a good price. This is the first time I'm reading books by this author. Both of these books take place in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where the author lives. It makes me want to take a trip to Nantucket as I've never been there and it's on my bucket list. These books make great beach reads and a gift idea for Mother's Day. Have you read these books?
I love finding new people to follow on Instagram. I discovered @brunchwithbabs. She has a fun personality with lots of recipes, and cooking tips.
I was happy when I discovered @low.carb.love as she has a lot of Keto and low carb recipes she shares. The recipes are all healthy and easy to make. Below is a photo of spaghetti squash and meat sauce she made for dinner.
I was so impressed with this sandwich that Ping from @mynomfictionlife made. The sandwich is made with noodles, egg, ham, and cheese on a cauliflower sandwich thin.
I'm happy to have clean earrings. I cleaned them in warm soapy water and let them soak for a while. I rinsed the earrings with clean water and put them on a paper towel to dry. My earrings look so bright and shiny now.
My husband and I enjoyed eating our Girl Scout cookies from my daughter. The cookies were so good but I'm glad we finally finished eating them. I'm trying to be good about eating sweets.
I was so happy when my husband made us for breakfast eggs, toast, and avocado slices.
We have a favorite Italian cafe in our neighborhood that makes the best sandwiches. We shared for lunch a broccoli rabe and chicken sandwich that tasted so good.
We recently had a take-out dinner from a local place called Burger Fi that we enjoyed for the first time. We had a hamburger, chicken sandwich, a hotdog with sauerkraut, and onion rings. We had a fun time indulging in this comfort food.
Bosco and I have been enjoying our spring walks. It's nice to see the grass growing and warmer temperatures.
You can see how Bosco and I enjoyed sitting out in the sun the other day. It was so nice to sit in the yard and enjoy the 80-degree weather. I look forward to more days like this so I can do my gardening and planting for May.
I hope you have a happy Friday and weekend!
Hello blog friends.
If you are a foodie then you are going love this blog because it's all about food.
You can see below that I have circled my answers.
1. Sweet or Savory - I picked Savory because I love food that is full of flavor and delicious tasting like Italian food. You might remember my slow cooker lasagna recipe I posted a while ago.
2. Breakfast or Dinner - I do enjoy breakfast, but I love dinner foods. I like weeknight meals at home to fancy dinners at a nice restaurant. I've made this quick and easy weeknight meal that we've enjoyed eating for dinner a few times already.
3. Appetizer or Dessert - I love both but I picked appetizer. I love it when we all go out for a family dinner and share appetizers. These buffalo cauliflower wings are a favorite appetizer we like to eat at home.
4. Pancake or Waffle - I LOVE pancakes.
5. Pizza or Calzone - I like eating a slice of pizza more than a calzone. We had this delicious tasting pizza when dropped off my daughter at college last August.
6. Pasta or Ramen - I LOVE pasta. I like making this easy slow cooker pasta for a weeknight meal.
7. French Fries or Onion Rings. I LOVE french fries.
8. Pie or Cake - I like both desserts but I pick cake. We had this delicious Oreo cookie cake to celebrate my daughters birthday last year. We all had fun indulging in this yummy tasting cake!
You can play along and leave your answers in the comment section.

Happy Earth Day everyone!
I'm so happy it's spring and we are celebrating Earth Day. I thought it would be a great idea to share some different ways to celebrate Earth Day.
Last year I planned out how I was going to use seeds for my container gardening. If you missed that post you can read about it here. I bought the seeds and trays that I wanted to use online from Amazon.
I bought this big bag of soil and some seed packets to use from Home Depot. I enjoyed watching the process of the seeds growing indoors on my windowsill.
The hard part was to try and transplant the seedlings into pots to grow. You can read about that blog post here. I had a hard time trying to get the seedlings to grow strong without dying. I also had squirrels digging up the seedlings. If you've tried growing plants from seeds and had success with it, please let me know what you did.
I tried re-growing lettuce last year with success. I transplanted the romaine lettuce into a large pot outside in my yard. I was happy that the lettuce head grew big enough for us to eat salads a few times.
I had an old plant stand that was rusted out and I made it over last year to look pretty. The stand just needed some paint that I had leftover from my bathroom redo a few years ago. This was an easy and economical DIY project. I am happy I was able to save the plant stand instead of throwing it in the trash.
- You can change out using a plastic straw for a metal straw. You can also bring one to a restaurant to use.
- Use a cloth tote bag when shopping. There are so many available that are made with thin material that will fit into your handbag.
- When gardening use biodegradeable peat pots.
- Instead of buying plastic bottles of water, you can use a Swell bottle or a similar bottle for water.
- I started using The Original Makeup Eraser to remove my mascara and makeup. You add warm water to the cloth and it removes all of your makeup with ease. I used to use makeup remover wipes to take off my makeup. It's an eco-friendly way to remove makeup. I bought my set at Costco. It's also available on Amazon.
- Buying clothes at a Thrift Store. I know my daughter and her friends like to buy clothes in thrift stores and also at online thrift stores.
How will you be celebrating Earth Day?
