We're not big on Valentine's Day in this house. I will give dh a card but that's about it, and he will probably give me the same. He has to work today, but will hopefully be home by mid-afternoon.
We had a busy day on Saturday. Dh worked on putting the baseboard up in the closet. Bit more complicated than normal as he had to join pieces and deal with other issues.
I did my usual morning chores, of doing the ironing, cleaning out the fire, bringing in the logs, picking up the poop and feeding the birdies. Below are a couple of photos of Northern Cardinals. The first one is a male and female pair.
I then finished machine quilting the table topper, and cutting out and joining the binding for the table topper. I just have to sew it on now.
After a lunch of cheese and cucumber sandwiches; it's ages since we have had cheese and cucumber sandwiches and they were good; we went to the city to run some errands.
I had ordered the closet organizer through the week, so we had to pick that up. We also wanted to go to Lowes to check out a couple of things. Glad we did as we were able to pick up some cordless Levolor cellular shades like these that they custom cut to our sizes for only $58 a window. There was also 15% off them as well. I also got three spray cans of paint that covers rust, regularly $9 a can for just over $2 a can, in Hunter Green. Not 100% sure what I will use that for, but I have a couple of projects in mind. At that price you can't go wrong.
Got back home and dh did a little bit more in the closet, still a ways to go though.
Molly meanwhile was lying on the newly upholstered ottoman. She looks depressed doesn't she....................though maybe not, it's her usual expression...LOL

When I was talking with Karine's mother on Friday, she though Molly may be a Beagle/Spaniel mix and I think she may be right, what do you think?
We are half way through the month, did you remember to put your money in your Daily Saving Pot today?
Today's Money Saving Tip:
When in a store, always check out the clearance section, as you never know what you may find!!! Also I am finding our hardware stores are carrying more and more blinds that they can custom cut to fit your windows at much cheaper prices than custom ordered blinds. It's worth checking them out!!! Make sure you get an employee that can use the cutting machines properly though, as it easy for them to make a mess of the cutting. We originally bought blinds from Home Depot, and they made a mess of the blinds, she didn't make a straight cut and they were crooked, and we had to return them!!!
