Sailors cause got warning. There's a alter inwards the conditions coming. It isn't actually equally ominous equally all that, however. We're only going to become from sunny in addition to mutual frigidness to rainy in addition to warmer. That's how it is inwards our constituent of the world. We larn sunshine amongst the coldest temperatures...rain when it warms up.
But retrieve when nosotros took our tree down, I said I idea nosotros mightiness last able to encounter Mt. Adams again? Well at that spot it is.
When nosotros bought our place, nosotros had a 3 mount view, including Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, in addition to Mt. Adams. Over time, the trees grew upwardly hence nosotros couldn't encounter Mt. Adams from the house. For that, nosotros had to become out into the field. It's proficient to encounter it from my role window again.
So, you lot know we've been on diets for nigh 300 years. One of the gifts from our diet is Oatmeal Pancakes. They're made amongst quick-cooking oatmeal in addition to nonfat buttermilk, in addition to hence they're depression inwards fatty in addition to also depression inwards carbohydrate (not counting the syrup). We similar them hence much that nosotros cause got them every Sunday. (I add together some frozen blueberries to mine.) Mike tells me that he wakes upwardly Lord's Day morning time amongst pancakes on his mind. So it gave me a chuckle when I finished my weblog postal service yesterday in addition to went downstairs to uncovering the house settings gear upwardly for our pancake breakfast. And fifty-fifty if you, similar me, uncovering pancakes likewise heavy for breakfast, these are real lite in addition to nice. The oatmeal gives them a squeamish texture.
So afterwards breakfast I trudged dorsum to the Wind inwards the Whiskers quilt. It looked only similar it did when I left it, no quilting elves having come upwardly inwards the night.
The quilting started upwardly i time to a greater extent than at this cat.
After that, I did the daisies to its left in addition to the bee higher upwardly its head.
The top-stitching is also serving equally the quilting, in addition to it's looking pretty proficient from the back.
After that, I took a intermission to brand a dessert for terminal night's dinner...this Sticky Cranberry Gingerbread.
Now retrieve that Proclamation from a few weeks ago nigh First Fri Desserts? Well...never mind. We asked our vecino to bring together us for dinner terminal nighttime since he's lonely in addition to nosotros had way to a greater extent than nutrient than nosotros needed. And hence I'm amending the Proclamation to exclude holidays in addition to nights when nosotros invite individual over. Dessert is required on those nights. Am I correct nigh that? I knew you'd agree.
So, I didn't cause got a moving painting of the inside, but I borrowed this i that accompanied the recipe inwards the New York Times. (I'm going to provide it equally before long equally I'm finished amongst it.)

I made this for the kickoff fourth dimension ii years ago, in addition to it's hence good. You brand a kind of cranberry sauce in addition to hence plop it over the overstep of the cake batter. The cake bakes upwardly in addition to envelopes the cranberries, which destination upwardly on the bottom of the cake. So, hence yummy. I served it amongst a fiddling dollop of whipped cream.
Mike was out yesterday to larn the crude oil changed inwards his car. He had to selection upwardly some carbohydrate likewise since I'd used upwardly all of mine when I did the canning yesterday. While he was out, he picked upwardly an amaryllis bulb. Amaryllis is i of those things I love, but I never larn i for myself. I exclusively larn them for other people. Mike came through amongst i for me, in addition to hence I'm showing you lot its fiddling dark-green shoot here.
If you've never seen an amaryllis grow, hence you're inwards for a process equally I document this one's progress.
So that was a squeamish fiddling interlude, but (sound of whip cracking) let's only larn dorsum to that quilting, shall we? The side past times side footstep was to quilt inwards some hills...maybe a few likewise many, but whatever.
And hence the merciful truthful cat paid me a visit. I couldn't quilt amongst him standing there, in addition to hence I loved him upwardly some, encouraging him to stay.
He actually only wanted treats, in addition to i time I'd dispensed those, he was gone from the scene.
And hence I started on the department higher upwardly the hills. It was getting some fourth dimension for getting dorsum to my dinner, in addition to hence I didn't create much to a greater extent than beyond this.
When I got upwardly from my chair to complete for the day, I was horrified to uncovering a bloom on the flooring in addition to to realize also that another pieces were missing. I constitute all of them, but this is the affair I've been most afraid of amongst this quilt. The real detailed in addition to tiny applique pieces are coming free equally I maneuver the quilt around. Now, I'm pinning whatever free ones, in addition to hopefully I tin larn through this procedure without losing whatever of them.
I've had some problems amongst thread breakage. At i quest yesterday I decided to alter my needle to encounter if that would help. It didn't, but inwards the procedure I consulted the machine's manual to reassure myself I was putting the needle inwards the correct way. While looking through the manual, I noted that it said 80/12 needles were available. I'd searched for needles i time earlier in addition to the smallest I could uncovering were 90/14. Enter the dearest of my life, Amazon.com (♥♥♥), in addition to I constitute some 80/12 Groz-Beckert needles there. They should brand it on Tuesday, in addition to that volition aid a little.
So today, there's zip on the agenda but sewing. I'm hoping to larn good along amongst the quilting. Fingers crossed nigh the applique pieces. If I larn through this without losing any, it volition last something of a miracle.
