child abuse, call DYS. Maybe you feel differently?
Been bizzy stamping light green stuff on the green square, dark purple stuff on the purple squares of the quilt-in-progress. Yesterday I spent with a tiny brush 'fixing' the green blobs on the purple squares and the purple squees on the green squares. Oy. So far I have half the quilt done and miles to go before I sleep... Oh I think somebody already said that.
The good news is that my partner in crime, Laurie, is back in town- it's always good to talk her into making my decisions for me, and I know I get pretty vocal at her decisions too. Whatever the chemistry, we really work well together. The bad news is that she is moving away and I am going to whine about it until the last fork is put into her moving truck. This week she had some great hand dyed panels she had made over the summer with major possibilities in mind. We'll heat up the wax next week and slop a bit of that around.
And the cigar box count is now past 40 (I am reaching the upper limits of how high I can count). I also am realizing that what I need most are really BIG ones from now on, and of course colorful- I seem to have a whole lot of 'Romeo y Julietta' which is appropriate but a little diversity would be good. Whatever, the damn things are taking over my space and making me realize I have a BIG problem trying to transport them down to Key West, especially after they are assembled and even more unwieldy to handle.
I actually made a cake today- a great bit old gingerbread recipe from the internet. I filled 12 cupcake tins and still had almost half he batter left so stuck it into some small silicone pans thinking that now I have desserts for the next two or three loads of guests through here- I wrapped and froze it all so I won't have it sitting in front of me, and now all I have to do is make whipped cream, or more probably frosting because I got at the really good crispy edges and they now need hiding... First cake in years. Must stay away. (DON'T) Let Her Eat Cake!
And folks, put clothes on your kids if you're gonna video them dancing! And monitor the dance! And don't load it to YouTube! Geesh
