It's Raining...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Week escaped on me some how...

Yesterday had to run a few errands and today was a STAY HOME Day.  Walked kiddo and doggie around the neighborhood trails and lakes this morning.  This afternoon I finished putting the blocks in to rows of my 52 Week Flock of Geese Challenge Block for 2017.  I did make it larger so I shall say that is the reason it took longer☺

TAH DAH!!!

Watched movies and ate popcorn with kiddo this evening.  A GREAT evening.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Monday tomorrow.  Stay safe out there.

Flock of Geese in "Sew" Many Ways...

Good Evening Internet Friends!!!

Out for morning walk with doggie bright and early this morning and met my new friends:

No baby ducks yet but a few Geese families were out for their morning swim.  SOOOOOOOOOO cute.  A Flock of Geese in the Making!!!

Ran a couple errands today that I did not accomplish yesterday.  

After dinner and doggie wash I did spend a bit of time in my craft room.  Made Block 72 of the 52 Week (yes I can count) 2017 Flock of Geese Challenge.  All of these blocks have been made from scrap fabric left over from other projects:

Heading out with doggie now for his evening walk. 

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Sunday tomorrow.

Marshmallows!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Late last evening while out on doggie walk we stumbled across a marshmallow spill!  Seriously.  Not the first time we have come across this type of disaster.  So as my dog ate them I decided that I should make some.

Used the Butter Baked Goods recipe.  It's my favourite.  The marshmallows always turn out and the recipe is not finicky.

Kept some batter and made a batch of Rice Krispie squares:

For lunch I made Dill Pickle Soup using a jar of home made dill pickles:

Super yum.  Left overs for lunch for kiddo and I this week.

For dinner I grilled Lentil Burgers and we ate on the deck.  Felt like spring out there.

After dinner I made another 6 Flock of Geese Blocks.  Only 3 or maybe 4 more of these little cuties to go before I can start assembly of the quilt!!

Hope this inspired your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Victoria Day Monday EVER.  Stay safe out there.

Open???

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was the soft reopening of the province.

After work I took kiddo for a hair cut.  He like me has not had a hair cut since January as we were both due for haircuts in March just as the hairdressers closed shop!

After his hair cut we went for burgers at Delux Burgers.  As a small local business I decided that we would support them.  Was FUN to go out again and of course the mushroom burger was delicious:

After we got home and doggie walked I made another two Flock of Geese Blocks for the 52 Week 2017 Block Challenge Hosted by Darlene D'Eon Designs:

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Friday tomorrow.  Stay Safe.

Ready....Set.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Back to work tomorrow after a couple of weeks off due to my asthma.  It's spring so I always have trouble breathing but because of The Beast out there I was not able to go back until my lungs were back to "my normal".  Not healthy person normal - "my normal".

Today I got all of the vehicles out for their annual service check ups, oil changes and winter to all season tire swaps done.  Spent a lot of time in shuttles and waiting for shuttles,

Did a Costco run for some groceries this evening.  

Seven loads of laundry were also tackled in there and as of right now everything is washed and folded and put away!  Kinda proud of what I accomplished today.

In and around all of this I did manage to get another three 52 Week Flock of Geese Challenge Blocks from the 2017 hosted by Darlene D'Eon Designs:

More scraps used up.  😼

For dinner I baked a spaghetti squash.  Grilled halloumi cheese.  Topped the baked squash with grilled halloumi, tomato sauce, and Parmesan.  Yummy as usual. 

Now off to take doggie for a walk and then think about bedtime.  

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Wednesday tomorrow.  Stay Safe out there.

WEEKEND!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!!!

It's the Weekend!!!  Okay, not as exciting as usual with the Self Isolation but still.....It's the WEEKEND.

Not that I accomplished a lot, but it felt like the weekend for once and was a relaxing day.

I did make another 4 Flock of Geese Blocks for my 52 Week Challenge for 2017:

Not exactly sure what the total count is right now.

Hope this inspires your own creativity.  Wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Sunday tomorrow.  Stay safe out there🙏

Kathy

And then there were MORE!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!!!

"Sew" today I sewed a few more of the 52 Week Flock of Geese Blocks.  I now have 50 of these little blocks.  All are made from scrap fabric used in other projects and "no" my scrap pile does not seem to be getting any smaller.  Not sure what my fabric does when I'm not supervising it...

I am thinking that 72 may be the final number of blocks for this quilt.  I did do a curb side pick up of border fabric at Sew Divine for this project as well.

Hope this inspires your own creativity.  Wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Saturday tomorrow.  Stay safe out there.  

Kathy

More...

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Took a looooooong walk today to clear my head.

Felt a little better when I got home "sew" I made a few more scrap blocks for the 52 Week Flock of Geese Challenge from 2017:

Thinking that I might make this a bit larger than the 52 blocks so as to have a bit of a larger quilt.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Friday tomorrow.  Stay Safe out there.

Carry On....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Not feeling particularly crafty today.  Still trying to sort out how one conducts a farewell from another province via Covid restrictions...

I did make a few more of the Flock of Geese Blocks for the 52 Week Challenge of 2017:

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Tuesday tomorrow.  Stay safe out there.

Kathy

4 More!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Managed to make another 4 of the Flock of Geese Blocks today!!  

TAH DAH!!!

Might complete this quilt this year!

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Sunday tomorrow.  Stay safe out there!

Kathy

Three More!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Played with the bag of cut up squares I have from my fabric scraps.  Made another three Flock of Geese Blocks for my 2017 Flock of Geese 52 Week Challenge quilt hosted by Darlene D'Eon Designs:

TAH DAH!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Saturday tomorrow.  Stay Safe.

Two Steps Forward...

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Today I sat down again with my scrap fabric basket.  Somehow that thing does not seem to get smaller.  Sigh.....

I cut up a bunch of the pieces in to squares to be used for my 2017 Flock of Geese 52 Week Block Challenge hosted by Darlene D'Eon Designs:

Will have to count where I am at with regards to these.  Likely that I will make more than 52 so that the quilt is a little larger and since I did not make this quilt in a timely matter.....oh well.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Wednesday tomorrow!  Stay Safe out there!

Kathy

Day 2...

Good Evening Internet Friends!!

Day 2 of official Self Isolation.  I went to work, kiddo did go to school briefly to get his personal items from his locker and then home.

Dinner was refrigerator left overs so tomorrow I will cook a fresh dinner so that we have left overs.  Prepped my lunch for tomorrow, walked Doggie and then decided to do some quilting.  Amazing what I can get done when I don't have other things to do.

Here are blocks 21 and 22 of the 2017 Flock of Geese 52 Week Block Challenge hosted by Darlene D'Eon Designs:

Planning to cast on a second sock before I go to bed this evening as well.

Hope this inspires your own creativity🧵 and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Wednesday (Happy 🐪 Day).  Stay safe, send a letter in the post to a friend and WASH your hands 🙏

A Brand New Week..

Good Evening Internet Friends!!

A Brand New Week full of Wonderful Opportunities has arrived.

Back to work and school this morning.  The light drizzle when I took the doggie out for his 0500 stroll was a nice refreshing way to start the day.

Work and then a medical appointment this afternoon had me coming home via a different route so traffic was lighter than usual.

After dinner and all the house hold chores I decided to give myself a bit of time in my quilting room.  I made Block 17 of the 2017 Flock of Geese 52 Week Challenge.  I lost some of these blocks during the move last fall and so had to re-start from scratch.  I thought I would be okay not doing the 2017 quilt but realized I would not be.  "Sew"  here is Block 17:

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Tuesday.  🎉

Back in the Saddle...

Good Evening Internet Friends!!

Well....back in the saddle again.  First full week of back to school and work.  

After kiddos orthodontic appointment this evening (he blew another bracket.....seriously), dinner, house tidy and dog walk I took a wee bit of time to myself in my craft room.  

Meet Block 16 of the 2017 Flock of Geese 52 Week Challenge:

TAH DAH!!!  

At this time the 2015 quilt is completed and in use.  The 2016 and 2018 are awaiting dates with the longarmer.  This 2017 and 2019 are in various stages of completion but I am hoping for an end of year (or close) finish on these.  

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Wednesday 🥳

Kathy

And Then........

Good Evening Internet Friends!!!

Long time no posting on here.  Not that I have not been creative.......just too busy somehow.

This evening I took a wee bit of time after my 7 mile bike ride and walking the dog to sew Block 15 of my 2017 52 Week Block Challenge.  I got behind on these but I also know that if I do not finish this set of quilt blocks I will disappoint myself.

"SEW" without further banter meet Flock of Geese Blocks 1 through 15:

Okay that's it for my crafty accomplishment for the today!

If I knit a wee bit more on the current sock I started I just might pop by and show you all that tomorrow ☺

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Tuesday 🎉🥳.

Kathy

All Over...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Well.....somehow another three day weekend has come to an end and not really sure where it went.

Up early of course to walk the dog.

Made a batch of Oatmeal Double Chocolate Banana Zucchini Muffins for lunches this week:

Super YUM!

Then since I still had one more small sized fresh zucchini I made Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake:

YUM!!!

I did some knitting while waiting for the baking but not significant to show yet.

This afternoon I spent some time in my craft room and made another Flock Of Geese Block for the 2017 52 Week Block Challenge hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop:

All Ten Blocks together: 

 I am hoping to get caught up on these yearly challenge blocks and take them all in at once for long arming so that I can feel that I am caught up!!

Hope this inspires you own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Monday🎉

After all of the "adulting" stuff was done this evening.....BORING.....I took a few minutes and went to my craft room.  I made Block 8 of the Flock of Geese 52 Week Block Challenge for 2017 hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop:

Five Geese

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Posting a little late and so it is almost Good Morning🌅.

I was able to attend my Quilt Guild Meeting this evening.  First time since the September meeting due to extra curricular activities that my son participates in.  Nice to catch up with some people.  

When I got home I did all the "mom" things I had not done earlier in the evening.   While I waited for a load of laundry to hurry up and wash so I could put it in the dryer and head to bed I decided to make another of the Flock of Geese from my pre cut bag of scraps:

TAH DAH!!!  Now I have 5 of the 52 Flock of Geese Blocks for the A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop 52 Week Block Challenge 2017 (not a typo.....I am just that slooooooooow).  

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Friday.

Kathy

Four Geese

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Busy day today again of course.  Work, home to prep dinner, also trash day tomorrow, walk the dog and then the weekly Costco run for groceries and petrol for the car.

After all of this though I did sit down with my pre cut bag of scraps and make Block 4 of the Flock of Geese Blocks:

TAH DAH!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity and withing you 

The Best Day EVER Thursday🎉
