Reconstructing & Blending In The New White

 Because of the design flow I couldn't just add 2 rows to the top,so they had to be removed the new white will frame the top,after I get these bottom 3 sewn back together & make 2 new rows with the new white it should be ready for the  borders

The new white is a floral but "top 2 rows" but blends in nicely

From a distance I believe the whites will blend in throughout the quilt   

Go big or go home!😄 I tried a new precut cookie  package & they're just like they say,"big!" 

The dough is oval shaped & I wasn't sure how'd that make a round cookie😄 so I pressed them into a jar lid & rounded them out, I was however disappointed that the carmel bits were so tiny  you couldn't taste it,so it was basically chocolate chip cookies with the illusion of carmel 😄 I shared them with my neighbor,I most likely wont buy these again but now I know how to make jumbo cookies with a jar lid🤣

Sunday Inspiration

 

I made Hibachi For Lunch

 I never let lack of ingredients keep me from making something I've got a taste for if I have the ingredients to make it happen,  I grilled 2 chicken tenders & 1/2 of a small steak on my little portable grill, did you know soy sauce & honey is a substitute for teriyaki sauce? I used spaghetti noodles because that's what I had, I added parsley for the illusion of green onions 😄 

Even cutting the yum yum sauce recipe in half was still too much for one  ,after it was over with I noticed it recommended chilling for an hour fir the best flavor,but it tasted fine , I  probably wouldn't had chilled it anyways ,I was hungry!😄

The trees are starting to turn around the river that runs long side the park ,Grace & me git a walk in just in time before dark ending with a glorious sunset

Grace turned 8 yesterday! Where did my baby go?😄

I didn't get any sewing,crafting ,quilting,nothing done today😄but it was all for good cause,I walked with my back fence neighbor who is getting over hip surgery,visited with her for a while then rounding the corner back to my house picked up my 94 year old neighbor & walked around the neighborhood again ,needless to say I got some walking in today 😄 

Plans For Rerouting The Red & White

 A little while back the red & white top came to a stand still when I ran out of the white & the red was looking skimpy,of course the shop was out of both with no plans to carry it again before Christmas,after looking at a few shoos I finally found a white on white with a different print but the same white hue

After a few ideas of how to make this work so the eye didn't automatically notice two different prints,the shoo owner suggested to use the new print to frame around it "borders "  but as that would make it way bigger than I want I've begun removing 3  rows   from each side, I'm going for a full size not a queen 😄

I'll add the remaining rows to the bottom that was already cut out & go from there

Meanwhile,are you ready for Christmas cookie baking? I picked up these gorgeous big ole  cookie cutters yesterday at the Northport Pickers Holiday Market, can't wait to try them out!

First Holiday Market Of The Season

Its that time of year when we start to see the beginnings og Holiday Open House at  local shops, Antique Malls , church bazaars &  more celebrating the season & today our newest antique  mall launched their first Holiday Market & the vendors did not disappoint

Slow Stitch Party For One

  Trying to work on finishing this drawn out 2 year project that it's almost redicilous😄 for stitches I use regular sewing thread to embroidery to quilting thread, you can only surround yourself with so much sitting on the couch plus not to mention threads, flying pins etc which is not the problem but when the doorbell rings & it's your niece with the baby,needless to say running to & fro for supplies, vacuuming everytime I turned around was my beating me down😄 so I got it all out & moved my work station to the dinning room

Just a few more stitching details on Ann & Andy

Then they will be ready to be sewn onto the mal pages & sewn to the cloth page

Only 2 pages in the tiny Christmas stitch journal from last year

Now that the slow stitch projects have a designated location its more likely to get finished quicker & everythings safety out of reach for curious little vistors😄
