Weekend.....

It is a dreary day today with off and on drizzle. I had energy this morning... and started cleaning and clearing and getting reluctant help from the munchkins. They decided to organize the pantry... and actually did a really good job! Then the lazy Saturday with rainy weather settled in. I have been doing a little hand stitching on my 2 inch hand pieced trip around the world. I believe I am on round 23 which is  dark pink. I have some lime green, yellow and blue cut out for the next few rounds.

 I should go check out the sewing room.... but it is a mess and I just am not feeling it. I guess I'll just curl up and stitch on this while convincing the kids Mommy doesn't feel like making dinner. They had picked out dinner (since they were in the pantry I had them try and come up with some ideas for dinner) - chicken nuggets, butter beans - they found a can and have never tried them, and a can of corn. I'm thinking Chinese takeout or pizza.... we shall see in a couple of hours what we have. No oven still so the nuggets would have to be in the microwave.

I have no orange to show yet.... but here is all my 1857 blocks on neutral background just waiting to be sewn together tomorrow when the kids go to Grandma's. I did add the 4 peels to that last block yesterday so it is ready to go. As you can see - Maxie cat is always out when there is a quilt or blocks around.

I also had a finish this week- the binding on the bricks and stepping stones got done. This was from the green month where I tried to clear out a few green and browns.

Linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge where others have already had a start with orange. I plan to pull some this weekend to make my blossoms... then I'll just have some pink ones to make  before I can put them together!

I did get a girls night out for cooking club last night. We made an awesome meal - spinach and feta chicken and potato - roasted cauliflower and mini classic chocolate bundt cakes. There were mini peanut butter bundt cakes too. All recipes can be found on the pampered chef website under recipes. That chicken one might be the first meal I make in the new oven! It was that good.
