This and That ...

Whew - what a ride. Finally got my breadmaker - Amazon lowered the price $15 yesterday, so I bought it. Expensive - but I'm sure we'll get our money's worth.

Thinking of ordering myself some roses for V-day. I just love my dh - but he's not the type of guy to remember birthdays, anniversaries or V-day. If I ask - he'll buy - but how romantic is that? He's brought home flowers for no reason lots of times - so it's not like he doesn't care - it's just that "special days" don't mean much to him. Found this deal online -



May order myself some while he's away.

Checked out this new book from the library - how to get your kids to eat their veggies - called deceptively delicious - very interesting reading.

Will go out to vote today, and I promised myself to finish these taxes, so no playtime for me today. Dinner tonight is stuffed shells - recipe is posted under the pasta link. Need to watch my weight - for some reason it's jumped back up - not sure why. Did get up on the treadmill yesterday - felt good - will get back up again later today !!

I've seen that book..Deceptively Delicious. Isn't it by Jerry Seinfeld's wife?

I have a new exercise regimen going...yoga! It's really cool. I'm sore, but I'm determined to put some flex back in this body.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
