Over? Already???

Good Evening Internet Friends!

WOW!!!  I cannot believe that weekend is OVER already!  I had "SEW" many BIG plans for this weekend.  Alas.....minimal accomplishments on that front.

This morning in addition to laundry, dog walk, and house cleaning I did meal prep - dinner and lunches for the week.  As part of this preparation I made Poppy Seed Cake with cream cheese frosting; one of my favourite comfort foods:

Not gonna fib.....but between kiddo and I this is almost GONE!

After lunch we headed out to The Bay as kiddo needed some new jeans.  All looked like supreme flood pants.  I also picked up a new pair of every day boots for myself as my current work shoes need to retire.

Arriving home I finished up dinner.  Roast beef with fresh mushrooms, onions, mustard and sour cream spent the day in the slow cooker.  I have found that the No Frills not too far away from here has an amazing selection of fresh veggies.  I still do most of my grocery shopping at Costco but this place has a unique medley or things I cannot get at Costco or simply do not need the size of.  In the refrigerator I had red onions, garlic, broccoli, green beans, carrots, parsley and zucchini that I chopped up and roasted along with a small bag of baby potatoes.  Dinner was DELICIOUS!!  Plus......we have left overs now:

Served with a head lettuce salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, radish, green pepper, green onion, and celery dinner was complete.  

After more laundry, kitchen tidy and dog walk I did spend a bit of time in my craft room.

With the exception of the 4 corner blocks my 52 Week Star Block Challenge from 2016 hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop is complete:

TAH DAH!!!!  

Will stop at Sew Divine tomorrow on my way home and hopefully get some border and binding fabric for this "sew" I can get if off to be long armed.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Monday.

Ready.....Set.....Go....Weekend!!

Good Late Evening Internet Friends!

So, today is the start of that mystical thing we wait for on Monday....the weekend.  I am sure that I do more on the weekend than I probably do all week!!!

Today I had plans to sleep in.  Well, I did not go to bed early, so when the alarm clock went off to remind me to get up and get kiddo to the Home Depot to build a Butterfly House it was a little bit of a shock!

Then it was over to Sew Divine to pre-order a Block of the Month I am going to participate in.  I cannot place a link here as this quilt does not seem to exist yet except in a couple of pictures.  It is kind of cool though. ☺

After lunch we headed out on a quest for running shoes for kiddo.  Went to Nike and got two pairs of runners for the summer.  

Since we were on that side of town already we headed over to Real Deal Meats to pick up some beef, some jerky and of course femurs for puppy and my friend Sharon's three doggies.  

Getting home mid afternoon I decided that I wanted poppy seed buns.  Since I simply cannot find anywhere local that makes ones as tasty as the ones back home I decided to make them myself:

Wait to rise.....  then bake:

YUMMY!!!!

This evening I did a bit of knitting and even went down to the craft room for a bit, but none of these projects are a huge accomplishment.  Maybe tomorrow...

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
