Intermittent Sun
Can you imagine if the sun were to stay out full time!
I can share with you that our oven meal from last night was good. The chopped peperoni slices added a bit of zing to the chicken pasta dish. It was a large enough dish that there is a container in the freezer for another time. As it is, a repeat for this evening will be supper.
We enjoy creamed cucumbers any time of the year. I added a bag of English cucumbers the last time I was in the grocer’s. They were on the small order and would make a perfect pairing with the oven meal. Can’t have creamed cucumbers without a goodly amount of thinly sliced onions and lots of ground pepper. I peeled and Dennis sliced. Popped them into the refrig for tonight’s supper.
First order of business was mending Dennis’ everyday jacket. There was a tear just above the wrist area. The wrist had elastic in it. It was quite a struggle to get it wrangled onto the free arm of the sewing machine. Once there I could only go foreword and back. I am sure the patch will hold. Then . . . the feather jacket was bound for the washing machine. I didn’t dare wash it before patching as it would have been awful to loose a bunch of feathers. The jacket is ever so light weight but very warm. It did take me using the plunger to get the jacket soaked up in the washing machine. By this evening, the jacket will be ready to wear.
Today I decided to text grandson AJ in regard to his t-shirt quilt. He has a king sized bed. I needed 30 blocks at 16″ each, plus some sashing around the blocks to get it king size. His shirts only gave me 19 t-shirt quilt blocks. I wanted to clear it with him before I improvised by adding embroidered blocks. Come to find out, he had some choice Harley t-shirt to wear when riding his bike and what I had were the shirts he was retiring. Too funny! I defiantly got the go ahead to improvise at will.
At the time I bought my Bernina, I also bought a program that allowed me to create original designs. The program is loaded on the HP that Kevin and Kersten bought me a few years ago. I need to inquire if I can also have it loaded on the computer inn the studio as well or if it is one license for one computer. It would save me going up and down the steps as I
work on a design. I believe I have it loaded on a flash drive ready for the sewing machine, but then I double check by plugging it into the sewing machine. This morning I worked on putting “AJ” in an enlarged format for the 16″ quilt block. As you enlarge the design it also adds stitches, keeping it appearing correctly. It worked out great.
The sun is out and it is streaming into the south studio windows. It will make the 34 degrees feel as such.
