You Bet
It was above zero at ten this morning and . . . you bet . . . I was in the studio. KNUJ was turned on with all the overhead lights. Grant it, it had been some time, and there was some re-acquainting to get done to familiarize where I had left off. The studio is my happy place. It matters not how long it takes me to get some things done. Zipper placement took many, many pins and multiple checks and balances.
Once the zipper was sewn in place and the top stitching was accomplished, I was satisfied. I shut the sewing machine down and opened up the tutorial on YouTube to check out what tomorrow would bring. I do not want to hurry through the project as cork fabric does not take kindly to having to tear out stitches. It did seem that this cork was heavier than I had used in the past. Nope. Same weight. My hands and arms are different than in times past.
I came up to have a cup of mid-afternoon coffee and soak up the sun’s rays in my bedroom porch. A bit of hand stitching to round out the afternoon. From somewhere there is enough snow to cause dripping off of the awnings. It’s just a sight for sore eyes. I am hoping this is not a false positive in the world of Minnesota’s weather.
Last night we had pan-fried Tilapia with steamed carrots and Dennis’ famous instant potatoes. I also threw in the last six shrimp in the pan. I have enjoyed having them once in awhile. Sam’s Club has the huge de-veined shrimp. So easy to fix, once they are totally thawed. Toss them in a frypan with a bit of Olive oil and give them a toss. When the gray color turns to a pink, they are ready to enjoy.
This evening the remaining of the potatoes will be warmed in the frypan to give them a sear. Pre-cooked cut-up sausages tossed in and make sure they are heated through. Add eggs that have been shaken in a fruit jar. The eggs don’t take long and we have a skillet meal.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
