This is my next, try to flip object. But I have not had one offer, and not many people have even looked at it. I think it is too specialized. I am not worried, as I only have $10.00 into it and my girls would all love to have it, so not to worry.
As it is Monday, I need to fill all my challenges and that is going to be tough, I really made no money last week in the shop. I have to put money in my $1,$5,$10,$20 envelope and I do have a $35.00 check to cash, so that is doable. Then I have to select two items off my 100 envelope challenge, to put on our mortgage as planned. Then I have to take the 5 dollar bills I have saved to the bank also to put on the mortgage. Unfortunately, I will have to pull money from my savings account that is very small to meet the challenges. That might not make sense to all of you, but it does to me. I feel better knowing I am keeping at my goals and eventually more money will come in when I get busier.
So a run to the bank is in my near future. I will be putting, $145.00 on the mortgage today. Not a stellar week by any means, I just made my goals by the skin of my teeth, and I hope this week is better.
Where I did well was using up things in the freezers to make meals. I used up 3/4's of a ham, one package of pumpkin, one can of pumpkin, a pie crust, a jar of beans. I have been making smoothies with the blueberries I have a ton of, and also scones, so I have used about 3/4's of the large bag of berried. I will keep going. Very little spent on groceries, I am proud of that. How are all of you doing on the no spend groceries month?
I cooked up a whole bag of pollock yesterday, and we will eat if today for lunch and dinner. I want to roast a chicken this week for white chicken chili. Again, use those beans. I also need to eat some of the applesauce we have made that is in the freezer. Or find something to make with it, any ideas? Do any of you have an applesauce bread, cookie, or muffin recipe that you like?
I have had 3 brides call me in the last 24 hours, so things are going to heat up soon. Thank goodness.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

All that matters is that it all makes sense to you. It is clear as mud to me! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood going on using the pantry - I have been successful using up as well. No store yet! Glad you got some calls!
Are we still confused Cheryl, just checking??
DeleteWe all got our money management plans and tools. As I rarely see cash, the envelope system or charts don't work for me, but speed sorting my expenses o. The debit and charge does. The stool is cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks, now I want to repaint it, it was so much fun.
DeleteWorking on using things up here, but I will be going to the store at some point this week to get dairy, produce and fruit. I will however stick to the list and let nothing extra enter the cart.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing very well using things up and staying out of the store. The stool is lovely.
God bless.
Thanks Jackie
DeletePut another picture of the stool on the site. This time, put a doll on the stool, a doll without a big skirt to hide the stool top. Sometimes, people need ideas.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea, I also thought a plant stand.
DeleteIve been working on what I have in my freezers and pantry although I did do some grocery shopping this month.. Thats a cute stool! If it doesn't sell maybe try painting it just plain white? The whole "farmhouse thing" is loaded with lots of white and creams and that's what people seem to gravitate too...
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
DeleteThat is a very good idea!
DeleteI am sure it will sell. but agree it is more specialised, it has to fit with someone's colour scheme whereas as Robyn said white is easier to accommodate, although not as fun as your version. I was puzzled by the handle too, never seen one like that. I think you are going to be busy with your sewing now, but the furniture flipping is a nice little back up . All the best for the New Year.

ReplyDeleteThank you, it was so fun and I want to repaint it and start over.
DeleteThat's ok, some things sit for a while before they sell. You need the right buyer. That is a nice little stool, childs seat, plant stand, nice on a porch, etc. When Spring comes and people are looking for a little refresh, it will get looks.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know and it was so fun to do.
DeleteWe could have easily gone without shopping last week but I decided with the price increases and supply shortages to go ahead and replace things we used in the last three weeks.
ReplyDeleteI think you should make an applesauce cake. They are always so moist and good.
The stool is super cute. I'm sure it will sell soon. Especially with spring coming.
I am going to look up an applesauce cake.
DeleteHere's the applesauce muffin recipe I like - https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/applesauce-muffins/
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate it!
