The Stockings Were Hung....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

The weekend is over!!  It was a very productive weekend and I feel a bit accomplished on top of that!!!  

Friday was my day off so I got EVERYTHING that needed to be done then so that I could stay home this weekend.

Yesterday was a bit of knitting, and the rest was housework.  Every surface in this house has been washed, vacuumed, dusted, oiled and in some cases more than one of these may have been done!  

There is a possibility that I may be ready for Christmas with the exception of baking that will take place on my week off before Christmas.  

I started the day by baking a loaf of Banana Gingerbread.  Used up cupboard bananas so a WIN!!  

 

Finished the hand binding on a table runner I made for my brother for Christmas.  I did attempt a machine binding but still not a fan of this type of binding.  Back to hand sewing.....

I picked up a Stocking Quilt Panel at Sew Divine recently with the intent of making the dog and cat their own Christmas Stocking.  The doggie stocking is really cute, but alas my dog is way TOOOOO big for his treats to fit in there.  I decided to use the other stocking panel with a dog on it for him and the smaller stocking will go to our family friend's new doggie who is that size:

Now it is off to walk the Montyster doggie for the evening and then get to bed as tomorrow will be a long day.

Hope this inspired your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Monday tomorrow.  Stay Safe out there....😷

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🎉

Let it Be "Sew"

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Well I packed up and went to "Sew" Day.  

Hmmmmm.....not sure what to say about it....

I packed up my sewing machine and a couple of projects and headed out full of excitement.  Not sure what I was expecting as I have never been to one of these days.  Well I got there.  My friend was there so at least I knew one person.  There was a bit of chatter between a couple of people and not much else.  I am not sure what I expected for the food but turns out people just brought random things.  One lady did bring a chili, but mostly it was just random stuff in a box.  I was disappointed and yet not sure what I was expecting except this was definitely NOT what I was expecting.

I did make the patch blocks for the class I had signed up for through the guild.  I had been really excited about this class as it looked like a quilt I would make and it was on a day I could attend.  The class however was postponed and moved to a date I likely cannot attend.  I was told that if I did not attend the new date class I would have to wait to purchase the pattern.  BUT I have all the pieces cut out!!!

  Not wanting this to become another expensive UFO I decided to put the quilt together using the picture!  Not gonna lie.....it took a while to get the star blocks figured out as to where to begin the sewing, but now that I figured that out......"SEW" Easy:

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing everyone 

BEST Day EVER Sunday🎉

Let There Be Cake!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Busy day off today.  Took the car in to Sherwood Park Toyota for the detailing special that they have on til the end of the month!!  Car is SOOOOOOOO clean now and all the random smells seem to have disappeared😼🚙

Went to my dental appointment and lived to tell about it.  Always a good thing because I am TERRIFIED of the dentist.

For dinner this evening I made Spaghetti Squash Chicken Parmesan:

LOVE this meal.

I am going to be attending a Sew Day/Retreat tomorrow.  Have not been to one of these before "sew" hoping it is a great day.  They do ask for potluck contributions "Sew" I decided to make something that would be a KATHY contribution:

A Star Block Chocolate Zucchini Cake!  It was DELICIOUS!

I also made a veggie salad as was not sure what the menu service for lunch would be like:

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Saturday 🎉
