A UFO finish and some RSC blocks

 It's Saturday! I had an early start and dropped the boy to school this morning before 8AM for his Senior trip north on a coach bus with 79 other students and a handful of teachers. It looks like they might connect with a bit of a Nor'Easter... so that will be fun for the Florida kids! Mine is set with gear and should be fine. Lots of memories will be made before they arrive home Thursday evening.

 I ran a few errands after and got home 10ish. Walked the dog before it got too hot (crazy weather today close to 90 then a cool front goes through tomorrow and high maybe 70!). A good day to stay inside after another errand with hubby, and sew!

I did manage to finally finish the binding on the nine patch UFO quilt yesterday. It needs a wash, as someone dropped something on it at some point. I'm blaming the dog, as he loves to lay on it. It finished at 68 x 80, so a good size.  I just did walking foot machine quilting on it through the nine patches and outlined the blue border and did a three loop in the corners of the blue. Then a straight stitch in the white border and the flowered border. It should be enough quilting with the warm and natural batting.

I fixed the boo boo green house from last week and added a couple more. Here is what I have so far. I might add another couple this week. If I have the parts cut out, they go together well while sewing other things.

Figured I'd show the crew this week.

Peanut and Ollie.... I think they're around 8 years old now? Time sure does fly. Yes, Ollie is a good 5 pounds more than his brother.

This one has gotten much better on walks from years ago. There were 5-6 wild turkeys over there in the woods. I was able to easily tell him no and we turned around after he looked at them for a while. When we first got him - he would have been over the fence after them.

This one didn't go over the fence with his friends. 

The chickens are laying again, and I've got a slew of eggs on the counter in the rack. Guess I need to make a quiche and recipes with eggs this week. I like to hard boil a bunch and then it is a quick easy breakfast in the morning or on my salads at lunch. The girl is going to enjoy being the only kid this week and will be 'stealing' her brothers car with the senior sticker and parking in his spot this week. 

Off to get potting soil so I can plant the lettuce hubby has been growing in the Christmas gift he got me. With all the lettuce recalls, he got this device and it is growing some really nice lettuce! I'd like to plant these and start some herbs and more lettuce. I think there are 3-4 varieties.

Excuse the messy kitchen.... I need to put the clean dishes away. The egg holder is full, and I've got nearly another dozen in a box on the shelf. Since they are not pasteurized or washed, they don't need to be refrigerated. We have two chickens that lay green eggs, two lay light brown eggs and Buttercup the Rhode Island Red lays brown eggs. 

Linking up with the RSC. Lunch time, then sewing some green scraps.
