New Toy Alert!!!

Life is short. Cook hard.

Canadian Tire, $299.00 which included a $50 gift card.  That likely will be used to purchase accessories for my new toy.

Yee ha!!  Look out, summer zucchini.  Mama's makin' zucchini loaf....

Yee ha - Tobermory Retreat Week

I will leave you with a cute little baby quilt.

Quilted with a strawberry design. I think the pink put me in mind of strawberry ice cream.

I'm heading up to Tobermory for a week with my longarm friends. This is the forecast, which will mean lots of time for sew, eat, drink, gossip, repeat.

I have the salmon purchased, the potatoes dug, and the martini fixin's all ready to go.  As soon as my friend Deb shows up, we're off.  In preparation for a little overindulgence, I was very good and had a spinach salad for lunch.  Home grown spinach and tomatoes, two hard boiled eggs, a hunk of feta cheese crumbled up, and a dressing of olive oil & balsamic vinegar.  Yum yum yum.  Then I blew it by eating the two Reeces Pieces that were sitting on the kitchen table.  sigh.

I'll talk to you in a week.

New Obsession - Rug Braiding

In Paducah I became obsessed with rug braiding after seeing a few vendors working on them. I bought the book and DH made the frame for me. So here I am, cutting my fabric into 2" strips instead of washing my windows. Did I really need a hobby?

I'm heading back outside to do battle with the grass and weeds in my flower beds. Why won't that stuff just grow in the lawn instead???

Mom has only been out of the hospital since Wednesday, and she may be going back in. The 'home' called this afternoon - her extremities are all swollen (I think that means arms & legs). So my garden battle may be short lived today.
