We had RAIN yesterday! It was so great! I finally was able to get out into the yard about 3pm for 1-1/2 hrs. While we were out there, we saw Vicki's SIL come with an open trailer and we think he was probably loading up garbage to take to the dump. Progress! Before going outside, I had time to quilt and bind one quilt and make the first block in my Kimberbell "We Whisk You a Merry Christmas" baking-themed project. I have 8 tops left to quilt now. Knocking them out! Slowly but surely. This weekend will be full of yard work, more than quilting, sorry to say. But once it's all done, I'll be GLAD to say!
CAROL - I'm curious how your jam re-do turns out. I would think it would work . . . Or you will have a lot of ice cream topping and pancake syrup! We find it's easier to keep good tension with the same thread in our LA, top and bottom. But we certainly aren't pros and every machine seems to be different!
JANA - so cute of Karlie to send Marshall with her dad! Glad you found your jars. They are hard to find here and even the farm store has limited amounts. But I have a large supply and rarely use them all so I'm set - it's finding lids that can get difficult. I buy several boxes, wide and narrow mouth, early in the season. You know, I have only seen one bee of any kind this season. Last season we could hardly walk outside without having them flying all around us. Wonder what's different . . .
I haven't decided on supper yet. Maybe spaghetti? pizza? pork chops? I've been thinking so hard on camping meals and menus for when my sis and DBIL come home with us, that the menu planning portion of my brain is wore out! Something will come to me - or not. We'll see.
Hope you have more definite ideas!
