Instead, it will be a day of indoor things. Emily is making a star crystal in a jar. I hear the oven will get a workout as well.... zucchini cake with cream cheese frosting will get made. They overrode my zucchini bread idea. They also turned up their nose at dinner using chicken tenders..... and wanted home made meatballs with spaghetti and bread for dinner with a salad. I hear we are making the bread too! Good thing I have my double oven!
I hope to steal away and sew the last 4 blue bow ties to make the 12 I need for that pile. I might also do the 2 light blue and 8 reds I need. Maybe that will keep the boy occupied laying those out for a quilt design as well? So nice of Peanut to hold those down for me.
Aidan was busy pulling fabrics for me yesterday for the 4 umbrella blocks on the right - I might need to make one as it is pretty rainy out today!
I also got all 12 of the hexagons basted and the first 3 done. When we went to horses Thursday morning I saw a scrap of black and pink in the bushes....I had been working on pink the last time I went and it was really windy. I guess one got away from me! I know, pink has not been called yet... but there were 21 of them and I seem to have gotten them all done over the last month or two!
Linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Head over and see all the blue people have been playing with this week.

I didn't realize you guys in Florida were dry enough that forest fires had started already - hooray for the rain then! Sounds like your kids have planned out the day for you, but maybe there will be a little time for sewing. How fun that Aidan likes to play with your quilt block layouts!
It's been mid 90's and dry for the last 3 weeks. Lightning strikes have started a couple fires. The rain should help. The grass was pretty crunchy the last 2 weeks in our backyard.
That is hilarious that your fabric pieces were lost in the bushes!
Glad it was recovered and hope you don't lose any pieces you really need! LOL
And here we have a lovely sunny day F I N A L L Y!! It's been gray and rainy forever-- or just clouded over and chilly!!
I am appliqueing rosettes too--my Christmas hexies onto a stash-found, pretty light gray fabric...we are watching the Red Sox (kinda a losing battle this year so far!!;(() and I am sewing...Hope your meal turns out well--I love how the girls decided to scuttle your ideas and instead put theirs on the menu--you are very patient...hahaha hugs, Julierose
Too bad Peanut hasn't learn how to sew, Deb!! You've got all the dark BLUE bits all laid out for him. SEW nice of Aidan to choose fabrics for you (and do all the bending to lay out the blocks, too!)
We've had lots of rain this spring, which is great. We've also had lots of flooding, even at Hart Ranch, the camping resort we go to often. I know it will keep the fires at bay, so I am not one to complain about the rain, but we still haven't been able to get in the pool yet this summer.
The weather seems to be really inconsistent this year. It still hasn't rained much here.
Beautiful kitty, such a good helper too!
