Yesterday's errands took longer than expected. I was on the hunt for wild rice in addition to a few other things I couldn't instruct at my regular grocery store. I had to become to iii unlike stores to abide by wild rice, but I was successful inward my quest. It was some 1:30 earlier I was able to instruct inward into the sewing room yesterday afternoon.
First, I sewed all ix blocks for Heart & Home together.
Next, I needed a blood-red terminate border. Who hates sewing borders every bit much every bit I do? So much pinning...such long seams! Frankly, I'm surprised I lived to tell most it.
If it weren't for my picayune cat, I'm certain that edge lone would possess got killed me.
But I'm non finished alongside borders. Oh no. The lastly edge for this quilt had to live constructed from the remaining nine-patches. Now I possess got them seat out alongside the quilt ready to live sewn on today.
Here's how they'll aspect without a cat.
So that's all I demand to exercise today inward the sewing room. I've been sewing for many days, in addition to I mean value I'll accept a intermission later that.
There's 1 minor housekeeping project to exercise today, but therefore I'm doing some cooking. We're having our Thanksgiving feast at Erik in addition to Mae's solid this year, in addition to I'm pretty happy most that. It's the most stress-free Thanksgiving inward years hither at the Three Cats Ranch. My contribution volition live the sweetness potatoes. Our household unit of measurement favorite is Sweet Potato Crunch. It's a Cooking Light recipe, in addition to therefore it's relatively depression inward calories in addition to fat.
I can't brand this without thinking of my honey departed brother. He was 1 of those folks who hated all vegetables, no affair the form or color. My parents made a bargain alongside him when he was younger (and earlier I was born). He could conduct ii vegetables he never had to eat, but he promised to swallow all the residual without a fight. He chose corn in addition to sweetness potatoes. (What?) Yeah, don't inquire me...I wasn't there. So fast forrard to his solely view to our domicile inward Oregon, in addition to I made the Sweet Potato Crunch alongside his permission since I was certain he would similar it. He did! My sister-in-law was thrilled to abide by a sweetness Irish Gaelic patato recipe he would eat, in addition to therefore when I tell it's a household unit of measurement favorite...I hateful fifty-fifty the sweetness Irish Gaelic patato haters inward the household unit of measurement liked it.
My other contribution is Cranberry Cherry Marmalade. This is some other 1 I've been making for a long time. It appeared inward our local newspaper many years ago. I love the add-on of dried cherries. They laissez passer on a prissy texture in addition to flavor. And I love that both of these recipes tin live prepared ahead. It makes cooking on the solar daytime of the feast easier, but it also makes for slowly take-along dishes.
Also, I'm baking ii loaves of breadstuff today...just to spoil my kiddos...and there's plenty starter for a loaf for us.
So that's it. I'll weblog tomorrow...just a brusk post service because I'll possess got to present off my finish, right? But if you're non reading tomorrow, therefore Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! There is much to live thankful for hither at the Three Cats Ranch. I hope your yr has been a expert 1 too.
