??? Bedtime????

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Well things in my house are back to normal I guess.  I am writing my blog post in a completely quiet house.  My son is in bed and asleep, the dogs are both on pillows at the foot of the bed and fast asleep.  Not quite sure what to do with myself.  It's like the circus just left town with no wrap up....

Tomorrow morning should prove interesting as none of them wake before 1000 hours of late 🤣

Today we got school supplies, back packs and lunch bags and containers all ready to go.

For lunch I made Oven Baked Pickles (much easier than the clean up with the deep fryer).  

In case you are wondering how I made these.....well....no recipe so here goes:

I used a jar of my homemade dill pickles and cut into 1/4" slices

Dipped the pickle slices in flour

Dipped the floured pickle slices in a beaten egg 

Dipped the floured, and egged pickle slices in crumbs (I used about a handful of flaked rice cereal, croutons), a heaping tablespoon of ground flax seed for good measure, a heaping tablespoon of the dill I dried a few weeks ago.

Placed on SILPAT and placed in the oven at 425 for about 20 minutes.  

I made some ranch dip while these were baking and it was a fabulous day before school lunch 🍲

My hand was feeling a little better today so very slowly I cast off the knitted insert for the Knitting Mugs with Biscotte Yarns:

All I can say is J'adore!  These really and truly are my favourite sock yarns and I super excited that River City Yarns has them in stock 😼

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Nothing to See.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Not much of any accomplishments today.  Managed to graft the 16 toe stitches of my #KindnessKAL sock that is part of my Knit Canadian with Canadian challenge:

Other than this everything else hurt so I did nothing.  Napped a bit this afternoon, and even did something I hardly ever do.....watch television.  Now I remember why I do not watch tele😼

HELP!!! I've Fallen....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

This post will be short as both of my wrists are extremely sore.  

Today I decided to try out a different set of riding trails in the River Valley with my son.  The ride was beautiful and it was an area of the city that I had never experienced.  I will go again as we did not get very far into it.  On a corner with some rough terrain I lost control of my bike and took a spill 🚴.  Thankfully I was wearing my helmet and yes I will need a new one as part of my face and the helmet visor contacted the pavement.  

I did make another Knitting Project bag before we went out.

TAH DAH!!!

This might be the extent of my crafting for a bit.  I am in too much pain in my wrists, ribs, shoulders and knee to even knit tonight.  I am dreading the pain tomorrow when I wake up. 😟

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Starring!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Made Strawberry French Toast for breakfast with Beef Bacon from Real Deal Meats.  

After breakfast I decided to be independently creative and "Sew" I made my first of these blocks and it turned out FANTASTIC!!!

A bit of knitting and watched a movie with my son this evening.  Now it's time to head to bed as summer vacation is drawing to a close.  😢  Must make the most of the next couple days.

Flock of Geese..

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Even though it was a beautiful day out today the wind was a bit crisp, the seats on the park swings were cool this evening, there are yellow leaves in my front lawn and in the River Valley this evening there were geese on the move.

Perfect for my creative time this evening!  When we got home I made another of my Flock of Geese Blocks which is the challenge block this year from A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop:

I am still a few weeks behind but maybe just maybe I can get caught up over the weekend ☺

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Going Banana's...

Good Very Late Evening Internet Friends.  Not sure if I will get this post done before morning...😪

It's that time of year.....the week before school starts.

Today was a whole lot of errands and not a lot of crafting.  It was however a great day.  On top of that my friend and I started talking about Banana Bread and I realized that it has been a very long time since there has been any of that in my house.  

Only one way to fix that.  Start baking banana bread at 2230 hours when I work tomorrow morning.  I should confess though that I also had a load of laundry that had to be done so that I had clean capris for tomorrow....

Fresh from the oven and yes I am eating some right now as I write this post 🍌

While the banana bread was baking and the washing machine was going I took a wee bit of time to do some more knitting on my Hudson's Memories socks.  I just love this colour way:

Something New.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Finally had a bit of time after dinner, walking the dog and laundry to get to my craft room.  Worked an overtime shift and as such was short shifted going into the start of this work week which has kind of made me tired.....

I have about 14 (seriously) various projects on the go in my craft room right now so I decided it was time to start another (something new).

A few weeks back I picked up some of the new Anne of Green Gables Christmas Fabric and a pattern and decided I should start on that this evening:

Fabric is now now all cut and the first block sewn!!!!

Now it's off to watch a movie with kiddo as the summer vacation is winding down ☺

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
