Determination Gets It Done!

 That's what it came down to ,let everything else go & get her done!😄 Grace was one happy girl to finally get her photo shoot lol with just enough daylight left in the day


she's been trying to snuggle up under the whole day while I've had it in my lap working on the binding ,she's such a silly spoilet girl😄

It finished out at 44X48 , made up from leftover blocks from a previous flannel quilt with red /black plaid flannel I've had in my stash forever,the batting is thin flannel textured curtain lining gifted from a friend & the back is leftover scraps,I like how the middle worked out to look like a hop Scotch lol

Almost finished & The Tiniest Pincushion

 I called it finished last night but decided to go down with another row of stitches in between each row which I am liking a lot better


Do you ever lose your needle when you lay it down on your quilt even though you're stareing right at it? LoL well enough was enough ! I made it a little pincushion to hold it when I walk away 🤣


I borrowed this table from my nephew -,n-law back in Oct.for a family gathering,I've told him I think it's going into that 9/10th of the law procession 🤣🤣I googled it & although it's not a legal thing depending on the surcumstances you can use it in court but the owner has to prove ownership 🤣he's not worried as you see I still have it 😄

 

It helps to have it around while I'm in a quilting mood because I don't have to clear the one in my sewing room when I want to cut out a dress quilt blocks or other projects
Today's been a rainy day & finally letting up so it's been a  quite slow day around here keeping everything light,but the black pepper didn't get that memo when it covered my crab salad 🙆 but ugly food taste just as good as pretty picture perfect food🤣


the lymelit hydrangea tree is in full bloom & just now starting to turn it's glorious white color,still lots of new coming out ,soon it will be doubled in size,blooms get as big as a small plate


Hopefully the rain is done for the day, it'll probably start back up as soon as I get half way into town 🤣 anyways things won't take care of themselves so guess I'd better pull away & go pick up my new glasses,go to the store,take Grace🐕 to get caught up on shots

A Beautiful Weekend

 red velvet waffles take  2 ! LoL the 1st go round I didn't have red food coloring & wasn't going to the store just for that so they got turned into chocolate cherry waffles 🤣 but yesterday it happened,the recipe calls for buttermilk but I buy that maybe twice in a year lol anyways they turned out good & the girls🐕🐕 liked them


A walk in the park was just what we needed after rain & crazy low temps coming out of nowhere ,l luv how Sadie stood gazing at this sign as though she was reading it,funny how they can noticed certain things even on a sign

It Was Late But I was Hungry

 Supper usually consist of cereal & a good cup of coffee but yesterday after burning the pizza lol & spending the day at the park ,cereal wasn't going to get it😂 


It just takes a few minutes to go that extra mile in the kitchen to whip up something tasty,chicken thawing in a bowl of water while broccoli & squash are steaming in a steamed pot,prep for sauce,meanwhile chicken is ready for grill,while it's cooking, cut veggies off & make sauce,now wasn't that easy?😂


Sauce: add a few Tsp. If butter to a low pan or skillet,turn down low so not to burn the butter,add a few tsp. flour,stir & cook like you would making gravy,begin to add milk ,add cheese to your liking along with salt/pepper,I used garlic salt & dill spice with just a little grated cheese 

Grace & Sadie says it was a win! win! especially in the cute bunny plates😂


I'm hoping to finish the small flannel quilt at some point before midnight but we shall see how the day goes ,our church is having an event for the kids & surrounding community


my niece & nephew -n-law are children's ministry pastors so they'll be making sure everything will be fun & running smoothly while help with these sweet toots enjoy the festivities

You know your old when your nieces & nephews start having grandbabies🤣 being gone the better part of the morning,Grace & Sadie will be expecting some fun time ,I may or may not take them to the park ,we have quite a few to choose from , I'm hoping to finish up this  lap quilt by midnight


 👀 yea high hopes 🤔can I just take it with me ?🤣
