I wrote a list of things to do a week or so ago - mainly focused on things I want to clean/do in the house. Today was a busy morning and I managed to check off not one thing on my list! Sheesh. I took the van in for an oil change, which it was in desperate need of, and I picked up some cleaning things at the dollar store and we filled up with gas and had a bite to eat with Scott. None of those things were on my list. So i think I"ll make a day of it and I'll continue doing a bunch of stuff that's not on my list! Like sewing! Tee hee...I'm starting to pin out the pattern for Annika's summer dress. I'm really looking forward to working on that and figuring out my way around a sewing machine again. It's been ages and ages since I've done any sewing...and I'm excited to use the wonderful new machine that my in-laws bought me!! I'm the most spoiled DIL in the world!! :) I'm a lucky girl.
I also think I'll bake some banana muffins...I may even use a squash in my muffins. I was inspired by a friend, Holly, who made a butternut squash/banana loaf...doesn't that sound great?! Mmmm!
I purchased some rotary cutters on ebay last weekend and I was hoping they'd arrive by the weekend so that Heather and I can do some serious work on her quilt. Alas, they haven't arrived yet and I'm beginning to lose hope. Sigh. Guess I may just have to go and buy another one. Oooh, this isn't such a bad problem after all if I can somehow work a trip to Michael's or Fabricland!
My wonderful friend Sandy sent me a link to a site that is hosting a competition for a brand new sewing machine!!! You have to sew a pot holder and send in your picture of what you sew as an entry! So I may just do that. One can always use a FREE sewing machine, dontcha think? Here's the link if you'd like to check it out. http://www.prudentbaby.com/2011/01/contest-sewing-machine-double-down.html Anyone want to join me for a night of sewing pot holders?! LOL! :)
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
