Superbowl Sunday

Well this is what I did on Superbowl Sunday. Oh and I made some white bread that turned out GREAT!


This is my Stash Bowl Mystery with one 3in border. John really likes this, and he was suppose to get another quilt for Christmas. But that is officially a UFO. So if I can figure out a quick border block, its his. I really need something about 8 to 10 inches to get it large enough for him. hum....
pattern I found on the internet last night, but they constructed it VERY different from me. The orange has little lizards that are soooo cute. I have 2 more blocks started, and all the pieces cut, but it will also need sashing and borders.

I have "bonus" tringles from both the orange points and large points. I dont know if I will use them for sashing but I think I have an idea for the last border.

I would say a pretty productive Sunday.

The evenings this week will have to be used to do all the things that I just ignored today. At least I got the shopping done Saturday.

Super Stash Bowl

  - another Quilt Mystery


ok, I needed to start another project like I needed more snow! NOT! We are fine here, its cold but I'm sitting by the woodstove and throwing a ball for Morgan. And what did I start cutting last weekend 262 HST's!!! Here is a link to the Super Stash Bowl

My Stash? I found a bunch of Shirt tail scraps and some neutrals to make a SMALL quilt - I think this is going to need mult borders to build up some size on this quilt!

A Colorful Day

From one of my faviorte blogs:

Yesterday I went to the doctor for my yearly physical...

My blood pressure was high,
My cholesterol was high,
I'd gained some weight
and I didn't feel so hot.

My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated
and it would solve my physical problems.

He said just think in colors - - fill your plate
with bright colors -- greens, yellows, reds, etc.

I went right home and ate
  an entire bowl of .....





And sure enough, I felt better immediately.
I never knew that eating right could be so easy.

Have a Beautiful Colorful Day!!

When you get right down to it, it's all about the CHOCOLATE!!

Meet Rosy

I bought her from a lady in Naperville named Rose. Who received it from her grandmother Rose. SO here she is...

Holiday Swap Blocks

Getting caught up on some Jan projects. Here is my very first block swap.


I like them. But I am so nervous that the others will not. My theme was scrappy ornaments.


I cant wait to see what comes back - I have never had a Christmas quilt. Now where am I going to store another quilt for 2-3 months of use.


Details, Details, bring them on! I need something to quilt. Ya right!

Bread from Indiana

I have been busy for the last 4 weeks with Bread. While wandering the web I found the Front Porch Indian - and then I found Nanny's White Bread. Well I have been making it every week for 4 week. Well 3 week of white bread and this week I made Wheat Bread. Next week I will be adding honey - John and Tony want it a little sweeter. Will let you know...



Here is week 3 - white bread with bad yeast. The jar said Nov '10 - but it LIED!

This week I tried Wheat Bread. I used 2/3 of the flour as Wheat and the last 1/3 all purpose flour. Needed to add more water. My goal this week is to rework the ing list and post it when I get it right.

PS: Try Christine's Easy Christmas Toffee we had 2 batches over the holidays.

I'm Back

So lets try this again - my NEW goal is at least 1 post a week. I have about 4-5 ideas since the holidays, but Facebook has got in the way. AND another NEW goal - no more then 1 hr a day on Facebook. ready set go.....
