Today brings placemats to the sewing room.  I will be doing some embroidery on them.  These will be for Christmas for my kids and then it is always good to have a little something on hand for “Just in case”.  Do you have those “Just in case” gifts laying around?  I learned by time my first child was finished with Kindergarten that it is good to have something for adults and kids.  Now I keep these little things in the linen closet.  Let me tell you a secret.  Grandkids, or mine, are not afraid to call and ask.  I don’t mind so today with it raining outside I will be making placemats and Sunday start on Peanut brittle.     Our biggest sale of the year is coming up in Sept and I make about 20 lbs of peanut, jalapeno, pecan, and jalapeno pecan brittle.

I think today will bring some kolaches.  Just have to get poppy seeds from the grocery store.  I will make poppy seed and apple kolaches and a few loaves of bread.  I love rainy days.  Makes me want to bake.  How about you?  What do you like to do on a rainy day?Our Brittle.
