We made it home around 12:05AM this morning safe and sound. We got Greg's doctor appointment done this morning as well. The rest of the afternoon was unpacking, sweeping floors, playing with the cats and I did pop out to grab some veggies and fruit to stock the empty drawers in the fridge. Seems we were out of mayo.... so I tried making some (I improvised on one ingredient and used yellow mustard since I was out of dijon. I did get dijon when I went shopping for the next batch.) I had boiled up 12 eggs and was making deviled eggs when I realized I was out!
I think we have plenty of eggs to play with. I have butter out softening to make some brownies... which will use 6 eggs. Ice Cream, angel food cake or Aidan mentioned a sponge cake might get made as well.
Yesterday was some stitching at the airport on a handful of hexagons and then I read a book on the flight. I picked up a 2.5 and 3.5 inch snowflake cookie cutter at the Ski museum in Stowe last Saturday. They were marked $1. each! I figured it was a typo as they are really solid and well made but it rang up as $2 and change for tax! I think they will be great as a marking took for hand quilting Hoarfrost! I'd better finish the 15th one before I get back to the flowering snowball blocks being sewn into rows.
Linking up with the RSC... since I have not made it into the sewing room yet. Hopefully today!

you don't slow down do you LOL - busy as ever - love seeing those eggs - kind of makes me wish for a chicken coop
It's always fun to go, but good to be home again, I'm sure! Look at those eggs - they're so pretty in all their different shades. You've got some yummy uses for them! Snowflake cookie cutters to mark your quilting design sounds like a great idea.
Brownies sound very yummy. So glad you was able to use your "Waiting time" to get some gorgeous hexis complete. Great find on the cookie cutters ; They will make a a perfect quilting tool. Have a blessed weekend.
