A Good Day
Dennis told me he was going to be working in the kitchen today and gave me the day to pool my thoughts and my quilt blocks in the sewing studio. What a guy. I think I am really coming out way ahead as he ended up putting together a great turkey vegetable noodle hotdish. As a side dish there is a pan of baked squash dessert. All I will need to do for supper is make a lettuce salad to round things out. I do so appreciate my major elf.
The tan sashing will pull all the blocks together. The pink block was Dennis’ thought. I was short a block so he suggested taking the back of one of the sleepers and put a design on it and call it good – which I did.
The work on Bella’s quilt top is chugging right along. I now have enough blocks made to add to the background sashing. I think what made the day go well for me may be the extra treat I had this morning. Yesterday when we were in Sam’s Club I could not resist purchasing a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread they were featuring. Their newer products are right by the front door when you walk in. When I took a slice out this morning I could not believe how chock-full of raisins in that one slice. I could hardly wait for the toaster to pop that sucker up. It was yummy. I do keep special breads in the freezer and take out a slice when the need arises. It is actually safer for me that way. Out of sight, out of mind. Not to worry, Dennis hates raisins. That goes back to the Korea days and what they were given to eat. For Dennis, raisins fall in the same “yuk” as fruit cocktail.
Lot of thawing out today with gray skies. With all the fluorescent lights I have in the sewing studio, there is no chance of me suffering from SAD: seasonal affective disorder.
