I feel like the blog has been neglected a bit lately. And when I start feeling that way, I also feel that I need to check in even though I don't really have much to share. I know it's my space and that I can do what I please, but I like it here even when there isn't much going on.
So, hi.
I just got over a terrible cold. No fun.
The girls should be walking in the door from school any minute and I just pulled chocolate chip cookies out of the oven for them. Nice, right? Selfishly, I am hoping that a little treat will help make homework and chores and errands go smoothly, but it's probably just a wish. Doesn't hurt to try, though.
I've been sewing a bit. It's a little project that I have to keep under wraps for the time being. That said, I pulled out the nice fabric for it. That Liberty of London up there? It wasn't doing me any good sitting on my shelf so I cut it. It felt great. I should do that more often.
I've got a mess of scraps that need dealing with. Most of them are small-ish in size. They'd be perfect for potholders and the like. I've thought about making little kits with the scraps and batting, plus a pattern for a few different types of potholders. They would be reasonably priced. What do you think? Is there any interest in that? Let me know.
I'm scrapbooking, but I guess that deserves a post of it's own. Soon.
Ok. The girls are home. I'm going to make some smoothies to go with cookies.
I hope you’re sitting down and enjoying a cookie and smoothie with the girls too.
Sometimes these little chatty posts are my favorite. And potholdrs! That’s what I should make ts week!
cookies and smoothies?! I’ll be right over. š
Absolute interest in the kit idea. I just know I would love any scraps you’ve accumulated.
Glad the cold has skidaddled – enjoy those cookies!!
Hi to you too š
Kit sounds lovely!
Yes on the potholders. I’ve been wanting to make some but have been too lazy to put it all together, but I love a good kit!
So glad you stopped by! Enjoy the cookies. Why is it so hard to use the good stuff. I have the same problem with yarn.
Beautiful Liberty fabric. Why IS it so hard to cut into a piece of well-loved fabric? I have the same problem with my huge pile of art papers… sigh. = )
i’d like details on the smoothies, please.
Another yes please for the kit, I’ve just about used all the scraps I bought from you last time you had a sale, would really love more.
I would love the pot holder kits…any hand-holding and support with my sewing much appreciated!
Well hello to you too š Cookies are yummy bribes.
Potholder kits = yes, please!
And I’m not sure which is yummier, chocolate chip cookies, or Liberty lawn…
pretty scraps!
1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup low fat yogurt ( we use vanilla), 1 banana, 1 cup frozen fruit (I normally do 1/2 cup strawberries and 1/2 cup peaches or pineapple). Blend it up and divide by 3. It's about a cup per person. š
That is a tough call!
They did the trick today!
Sorry you had a cold..no fun:( Pot holders sound great! Can’t wait to see what you come up with. What about coasters? Hope you are having a lovely week! ~~B
Yes, please! Bring on the pot holders!
oh! coasters would work, too. great idea!
I’d love a cookie to go with my cup of tea. And the kit sounds great. My potholders are very shabby.
Oooh! I would love a potholder kit!
I would love a potholder kit, or a mug-rug kit!
I, too, have been neglecting my blog – I havent been on since Thanksgiving!!! I am a slacker!
Yes please forgot holders! Sewing machine has sat on the floor for too long!!!
Oh yes -mug coasters too!!
i love your blog, erin.
potholders would be fun to make.
i think a chocolate milkshake sounds good with cookies.
