Well, I see you have all had fun, on me today!

First I'll tell you about my dumb move of the night!!! or is that year?
Did you hear me cursing?
I got back home and started supper. Decided that as I waited I'd do some on that GFG. Remember it was to be smallish with only 8 flowers, then the fillers. I had 2 more hexies to add, then the last flower, already made. Got the single hexies done. Took out the flower, and started at it, making sure I was joining it onto the right part of the hexie where it went. Checked a few more times, as I started stitching. I had it almost all sewn .... and discovered yes it was on the right part of the hexies so it'd lay flat in place .......... though I'd put it in the wrong place!! GFGs do not come off easily with all that whip stitching. So now, instead of feeling like I was on home stretch and just had filler hexies to do, I now have two more flowers to do ... and a bunch more fillers. Curses!

Anael
... Hurrah for your BBs!!! Glad you got your Bernina back working. It's annoying isn't it when our machines don't do what they are supposed to do! Thanks, though it was really the cookie recipe I wanted. Sticky Buns are just too darned good ... and too sweet for me (believe it or not!). I'll let you make the cookies first!

DublB ... what a hoot!

MiraB ... OMG, Molly is ever so talented!

QNSue ... Post #829 ... is that the I want to marry you cookie recipe? It's intriguing, but yes, looks like a lot of work. When you add the egg white and egg yolk ... are you supposed to beat the egg white first? If not, why separate additions? Hang in there with those BBs .... you'll get there! We know you will! And tomorrow, I'll be sniffing away to see what you whip up when you get back to the kitchen!

JanRN ... time to hunker down this weekend and get rid of that bug!

JeanieG ... you're calling to my sweet tooth, and that looks so much easier than "real" sticky buns! For a new twist, try adding some maraschino cherries with the nuts, just for some extra colour!

Anael and MiraB ... If you've checked out the Pillsbury site you'll see they have all sorts of tubes of ready to bake goods! When you see other ingredients you don't have, please let us know. Some may be ones, just by a different name. I know you mentioned that with some of my earlier posts, but to me, they were all common ingredients!! Most of my recipes are pretty basic (at least I think so!), and I will fess up, I seldom have used the Pillsbury Doughboy goodies.

Honchey ... hip hip hooray for your wins! As for those men ... love how you just smiled sweetly! And probably to yourself said, BINGO, and I'll beat you! Great news on the fabric warehouse ... lucky you!! Next thing, you'll be telling us that you're working there as trade for fabric. OMG ... all that FC work ... I'm embarrassed and fear you may be dreadfully disappointed with mine.

So now, I'll go back to my grumble-mutter-cursing over that GFG!!
Forgot to tell that I have been working on a Rail Fence Mini ... all out of FR♥sty's trimmings! Maybe I should call it Meltdown? Hope to finish the piecing of it this weekend.
