Happy Sunday!
Ah the sound of the
electric ice cream maker churning away some good ole soft serve ice cream to
be enjoyed by all!! Just mixed up a big batch of homemade ice cream and
figured I would sit here and get the letter done while it's turning into the
white wonder!! Kids will be here in an hour and I want it to be ready by the
time they get here, or at least close!
And what have y'all
been up to all week? Me? Not too much. Did get an order for a quilt to be
made for a guys wife for her birthday. He's in the Military and wants to
surprise her with it! So I will be starting on that soon. My niece finally
had her baby. A 7 lb 10 ounce boy. They named him Adam. Love the name!
Mother and baby are doing fine! This week I have to get that baby quilt on
the frame and done!! I know I have been saying that for a few weeks but now
it's a must!! I have been putting it off cause the baby wasn't here
yet...now I got to hurry up and get with the program!!! I always work better
under pressure. I love a challenge and a deadline! Makes me miss working. I
always got high on rushing to beat the clock. Miss that!!!
It's been a hot week
here. Been staying in and keeping cool. Bill took Friday for a vacation day.
We were going camping this weekend....but it's so hot....we decided not to
after all. So Friday we went out for Chinese with the family, went shopping
all afternoon and then went to the drive in and watched Inception with
Leonardo De Caprio and the Last Airbender. It was really hot at the drive in
and Rosie....poor baby didn't really enjoy the movie cause all she did was
pant. The Last Airbender had to be the worst movie I ever saw....or a close
2nd. Save your money on this one!!!
Yesterday I did
something I don't do as often as I should....I cleaned house. Went through a
bunch of papers and debris that was sitting on the dinning room table and
big roll top desk. Everything looks so nice now! You know you are a quilter
when......housework is not your priority!! Heehee. Oh I keep it pretty good
most of the time, but.....there is so much that doesn't meet the eye!!!
Woohoo!
Popped a big 6 pound
chicken in the oven this morning. We had that chickie for dinner and it was
a yummy chickie! Nice and juicy. I decided to give you all my recipe this
week of my blackberry cobbler. It's a keeper and I was going to made that
for the family as well to go with the ice cream......that is until Bill got
the bright idea that he wanted to have cookies and cream ice cream, made
with the Oreo cookies he bought this morning when he went and got his Sunday
paper. Oreo's and blackberries just don't mix to well together. But you will
love the ease of this recipe and you can use fresh or frozen blackberries!
Enjoy!
The block of the week
this week is a special request from a reader that wanted 2 of some previous
blocks drafted up into 12" blocks and so I did this for her and her group.
So if you were wanting the blocks of Criss Cross and the T-Block in 12",
then you are going to be pleased!
It's July and that
means Christmas projects should probably be started or at least planned out.
I am starting to think about that and what if any I plan to make this year?
If you have any good ideas please send them my way!! Any ideas are
appreciated! Well....I guess that is all that I have to say today. Kids will
be here soon and I just put the cookies into the ice cream maker and that
will be done in about 20 minutes so I guess I better get this closed and
notices all sent out before they get here! Take care and I will talk to you
again next Sunday!!
From my sewing room to yours,
