Just a bit of this and that!
Ok last week went by way too quickly!!! And I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped….
Last week’s This and That
Last week I worked four days and was sick one day, so my to-do list suffered…

Last week I was asked if the fact that I had no ticks next to my zones meant that I hadn’t done anything in them that week, and the answer is yes! I didn’t manage 10 min in my zones for the week last week or the week before… maybe this week??
I did put the edging on the cat blanket that will be donated to the local cat shelter and took a photo on my kitchen table:

I will do a post about the cat blankets one day, with the size, etc… I am hoping to make one blanket a fortnight – let’s see how that goes!
While it was on the table I thought… hmmmmm… it might make a nice table topper….

And yes, I think it does! But this one is for the cats… I’ll have to do another for the table!
I did a bit of meal prep yesterday for this week… I prepped tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, lettuce and corn and put them all in stackable Tupperware Clearmates. I have them on a tray that can easily be pulled out of the fridge and added to whatever protein we are having for dinner:

I call it my summer salad bar….. got some cheese, sundried tomatoes and gherkins there too. I change it up a bit with other salad goodies during the summer, and then everyone can pick and choose what they like on their plates. I am the only one who eats the gherkins, haha!
This Week’s This and That
I am working 4 days this week and from now on that is my schedule for the foreseeable future…. so that means I need to be realistic with what goes on my list.
In case you are wondering, I do other things around the house like vacuum, clean the bathrooms, etc weekly, but this list is for specific or extra things I want to focus on or put a priority on.
What I don’t get done the week before, usually stays on the list, or I just don’t do it….
Here is this week’s list:

I put up some printables for you last week and will keep them here today in case you didn’t see them and would like to download and use them:

I hope you all have a lovely week!! If I can get into the studio I will be happy!!!

I haven’t made a post in a long time, but if I do I’ll come back and link up. Love your veggies in the fridge, doesn’t that make you feel good! The edging on that kitty blanket looks so good. Will you start your seeds in little pots first?
I always enjoy your This and That posts. Love the cat blanket and it has given me ideas. I have one drawer left of yarn that’s bulging at the seams and a lot of it is small ‘bits’ that don’t serve any other useful purpose but would work perfectly for a donation blanket for the shelter. Please do post your pattern when you get time!
It’s so nice to see you are back with This and That Joy. Love the cat blanket and your fridge salad bar. Thank you for hosting us. 😉 Carol
You cat blanket looks fabulous , Joy. It would make a wonderful table topper as well. Great idea on having all your fresh veggies prepped and ready for making salads. ( I love gherkins too.) I wish the best on conquering your To Do List and thank you for providing the checklists. I’m off to print them. Have a lovely week. Hugs
The cat blanket looks great, Joy and I really do think it would make a fantastic table topper! Have a great week! Thanks for joining us at Monday Musings!
