Happy October! It's hard to believe it's October already, especially since it's so hot outside here! We have upper 80's until Wednesday, then it's supposed to rain and start to actually feel like fall.
I had a productive week last week, I hope you did too! The highlight of my week was going up to see one of my granddaughters at her college. I made her this little treat basket:
She's not a big candy eater, and doesn't care for chocolate (can you imagine??), so I didn't want to put a ton of chocolate in it. So I bought a couple of her favorites - Werther's caramel apple soft caramels, and a bag of gummy bears. I know she won't throw those away! She needs a little something sweet now and then, don't you think? She tries to eat pretty healthy most of the time, which she definitely didn't get from me! I need to be more like her!
Then, I finished my Japanese Rice Bag, and I love how it turned out! I used up leftover fabric from my table runner, and some other scraps. It holds a ton of stuff!
I've already used it to carry my cross stitching supplies in, and I'm going to use it to hold snacks when we go on vacation. I can fit all kinds of gluten free goodies in there! It completely closes with the drawstring, and is really very sturdy.
Enough of that stuff, here is my menu plan for this week. I have a bunch of stuff to do this week, so there's nothing too difficult. Mostly I planned for quick and easy meals, or something I can make ahead. As always, notes and recipe links are below.
