Well today we are having rain all day.... Mmmmm so it is sewing n baking today.... Chicken in the oven with potato wedges and then cookiessssssss. I am working on my crumbs and boy do i have alot.. and my thimbleberries quilt that i started and somehow got shoved away.......

Sooo, what time is supper. Easton's not that far away. I'm a Shirley too. I think we need cookies too. What kind are you making? My husband thinks cookies mean Chocolate Chip. I will eat just about any.

Wow...I need to take your vitamins...lol...it is raining, thunder and lightening too here...but I worked hard yesterday and I decided to spend today in my pj's and do nothing..(smile)...Naomi :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

It's a cold cloudy day in the Yukon, we're at about 4 C up where we are this morning.

I've already got the chili in the crock pot and I will be spending the day (with housework done sporadically throughout the day when I need to get up and move) working on my newest pattern I just got, TV Dinner (Modern Quilt Relish). It looks fun and that's what I need today!

Enjoy your crumbs!!!

Hi Shirley! are you Squirrelly too? lol... dinner will be done in 30 minutes..... the potatoes are long quartered and have olive oil and fresh lemon squeezed on them with some seasoned salt..

Well if I bake, it is snickerdoodles for sure and I just may do some spiced oatmeal cookies... some how my oatmeal cookies are never the same from batter to batter, just can't make them to save my life... but i love them... if only i had an oatmeal muffin recipe that was soft and yummy....

yummy, but the quilt sounds just as good!!! what does it look like??? do you have a link to show it?

Alas, I'm hoping to do my Snickerdoodles tonight too. For your oatmeal, some Farmer's Daughter Oatmeal Cookies are what you need to make!! :)

hope you like them! that is the recipe i have always used! you should see the page in my book! lol.... I want that oatmeal recipe !! so you will be one up on me and I will have to send you my "birds" cookie one! if you like cut outs with a spice! they have white pepper in them and are awesome!! Oh yeah and the other one maded like a snickerdoodle that tastes like orange.. hmmmmmmmmm!! omg, this is bad girl!

oh the vitamins are ..... " anti housework pills " sweep the floor? what floor? all I see is scraps of material!! wipe the table off? what table?? all i see is a big cutting mat!!

<----------- scampers off to find THE recipe!

you can see a picture of it right on their blog here:

just scroll down near the bottom of the first page.

Good for u! Taking care ofbad baCk today!

good girl!!! hey if I could, I would send you some cookies!! I could!!! If the mailman doesn't eat them all!

ohhhh? feel better !

i like it!!!!

Oh goodness, you sound so energetic today! I'm being a couch potato! But I did spend the last 2 days with my best friend from out of state and we shopped, sewed and "ate"!! Now today, I'm sooo tired! But it was worth it.

No rain here yet today...usually comes in late afternoon.

sounds yummy! I am not as motivated today..I did make sweet fruit chutney yesterday and my 21 year old son made home made pasta with roasted pumpkin and pancetta..YYUUUMMM and he also made pannacotta with raspberry coulis..thats hard to beat! so today I am just going to make chicken and sweetcorn soup with garlic bread and pears in syrup..anyone have a delicious recipe for pears that they would like to share?

I am on the quilting board instead of figuring out which of my pattern pieces doesn't belong - sounds like a kids program? I have a 1940's dress pattern and the patterns have numbers punched into them instead of printing. I have several duplicate numbers and some don't look like the pictures on the instructions. Those will be the easy ones to figure out!

Tomorrow morning I will have to tackle it since I start back to work on Tuesday. Can you say Monday marathon?

Dark day here in the Valley. I'm happy for the rain we've had now that most gardens have burned up!!!!
I WOULD HAVE been sewing on a new project (Broken Bricks pattern) but on my way to the store to get the rest of the fabric I remembered I left my $ and license folder HOME. I was halfway there (8miles) so I continued on and just looked when I got to the store. The store was so busy with back to college coeds, and families (big families). Now I'm trying to find a fabric medley to order for the fat quarter project. I really should be bringing the dogs out, feeding them. This board is soooo distracting, but I love to read the personal notes all we gals write about...cookies, dinners, cookies, housework. Isn't life great?!

and more rain today, I'm just over the hill from you, looks like more quilting this morning before work this evening. I need to finish this quilt, so no baking for me :( but maybe I'll finish the quilt! good luck with the crumbs!

I'm gonna make oatmeal cookies today. Where can I find the recipe for the ones you mentioned?

I have a quilting friend near Easton. Pretty up there!

Hey, I'll be heading your way soon. We are going to a cabin near Luray for Labor Day weekend. No quilt shops in that area, is there? I don't remember one. We haven't been there in 2 years and I just love that area. We stay at a cabin in Shenandoah Woods.

Wish I could be quilting today. Maybe. My hubby and I are in the process of redoing a bathroom. Today is slated for putting down the new tile.

Yep, I have a dreary outside day weatherwise as well. I am washing up all my fabric (from Connecting Threads, and #1piecemaker and the latest 20% off at the LQS) Than a friend is coming at 11am, she can help me fold all the yardage (and I DO mean yardage). Movies popped in with fresh coffee and the sewing machine will start to hum!

Those patterns are cute...have fun and don't forget to show us when you're done.

Are you dreaming or is it really raining. We haven't had a drop for almost six months. Are you ever blessed.

Also looking for the oatmeal cookie recipe!! Wish we had rain here in TX but alas, another 100+ day. Wishing for fall....

I tried so send some your way but it didn't listen :(

What is rain??? Hot and dry here in NE Texas!

I'm so glad someone else does that. PJ's I mean.

WOW! I'm a Shirley too...and I've had someone fondly call me "squirrely" too!!!

O.K. I am also waiting for that oatmeal cookie recipe or I will have to resort to my chocolate chip ones... Someone find it yet??? Making me hungry.

O.K. also would like the snickerdoodle one that tastes like orange....yum!!! After I snarf my chili...I will be back to hopefully find recipes....maybe??? Please?????

I really like their style, but my favorite is "Nibbles".

Naomi, you can always SEW in your PJs. I,ve done it, LOL.

Dry here too, overdew. Hot, too. No work for me today. Resting from weekend. Lots of family activities and church was all day. Straightened some fabric and decided to finish "The Help". Fun book.

Thanks but how about some assist by praying for us that have brown grass and no crops.

Don't worry I am!! And I asked God if he would send some of our rain your way, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. :(

Thank you ever so much.
