SUPPER CLUB - Friday, Jan 29
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2021 6:29 am
Good morning,
We're 39 and dry this morning. Well almost dry, anyway. For January in Western WA, that's pretty good!
I spent all day yesterday in my sewing room working on Get Together. I was cutting fabrics for my PP sashings in the morning, and then started sewing them in the afternoon. I got 5 sashing pieces finished and 19 more to go. There are 9 FG to each 9-1/2" sashing piece. They are shaped a little differently than regular geese - more squatty. After this I'll be making 125 3-1/2" 9P's. Then I can start assembling the quilt. It's a time-eater, but a fun time-eater.
BECCA - hooray for #23! Do they live close to you? Do they know yet if it's a boy or a girl? Your vat of soup sounds tempting. I'll be making some soon, too.
JANA - So, did the island top go on yesterday? I hope you get your machine back early so you can put a cap on this reno and get busy sewing again! Happy you found your special treat. I've never heard of them, but then I scurry by the ice cream aisle quickly because if I don't, some jumps into my cart and follows me home!
LORI - Empty houses can go downhill quickly. I love drumsticks and Nutty Buddies, too. My favorites! I'm glad Miss Molly is helping you sew. Maybe she figures you need supervision and someone's got to do it. Riley was always nesting on my fabric as I was trying to run it through the machine. I miss her a lot, but not her 2-inch hair! Foxy's food dish is on my big sewing table - about the only place in the house that Scott can't reach it - so he is there a lot, too, quietly observing. He has a basket on top shelf across the room where he spends a good part of the day.
TINA - do you know what tests Mary Rose was having? Cardiac? Glad she got home OK and that her son was with her. That pillowcase is just so darn purrfect, judging by that happy smile!
IRISH - maybe you and Kevin should go together and buy a small duplex in FL for impromptu getaways. I hope PA gets on board with the vaccines. We find the vacc clinics fill up almost before the announce them, but at least WA is having more and more of them now. Kathy is smart to leave enough stuff with you so she doesn't have to lug big suitcases on the plane. So nice that you get to see her so often! Sedona is a gorgeous place. Almost magical! I can't imagine what it must look like in the snow.
I haven't thought about supper yet. Will need to consult with the HOH to see what he's in the mood for. Probably not more lasagna, so into the freezer it goes. And maybe out will come mini-meatloaves. With bakers, brussels sprouts? Or Soup? Burgers? Breakfast? Maybe I'll wait and be surprised! If I do the meatloaves, I can put everything in the oven and let it bake . . . Almost like a no cooking day! Guess you can tell which direction I'm leaning!
And you?
