All 12 Tuxedo's Tales cats are finished! Yahoo! But don't larn likewise rowdy amongst your Christmas partying because they nevertheless take to live sewn into a flimsy. I'm non certain when that volition happen, but it won't live this year. Yesterday's chore was to run upward the buttons too the snowflakes onto this lastly block of the quilt.
Here are all the blocks for this quilt put out together.
After that, I got busy sewing the strips for the dark too white Rainbow Jubilee corner triangles. Those are pieced, trimmed, cut, too educate to become now.
Sadie helped amongst that.
Smitty helped me guide too cutting the strips for the brownish share of the blocks.
Please cutting correct here.
By the fourth dimension I finished upward for the day, I had viii strips inwards each of 5 dissimilar lengths.
Smitty helped me count. Now I'm suspicious that there's roughly variety of counting affliction afflicting the cats of the Portland metropolitan area. When counting, Buddy the cat lately pulled roughly numbers from an orifice non intended for counting. Now I'm afraid the affliction has moved to the rural parts of the subway scheme area, too straightaway Smitty is pulling numbers from his, um, donkey-end too. I've been told that Smitty has pony deoxyribonucleic acid similar Buddy does, too thus perhaps this is roughly sort of pony pox.
The alone other affair I did yesterday was to purpose upward the leftover cranberries to brand this Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake.
There was something incorrect amongst my encephalon yesterday because I made every error I perchance could patch I was mixing this up. First, I was supposed to whisk together the flour too common salt inwards a bowl. Instead, I added the saccharide to the flour. Fortunately, I hadn't whisked it upward yet, too thus I only scooped every bit much saccharide every bit I could into the bowl of the mixer. After that, I was supposed to add together the eggs too mix the saccharide too eggs until smooth. Only, instead of adding the eggs, I added the melted butter. Oh well...the butter was supposed to become inwards next, thus I only added the eggs to the mix (what else could I do?) too went ahead. After that, I added the flour too mixed it up. Everything seemed fine.
Then I was supposed to crease inwards the cranberries too a one-half loving cup of slivered almonds. The almonds were measured out amongst ii tablespoons removed from the one-half loving cup to live sprinkled over the top. So I added inwards the cranberries too and thus used the ii tablespoons for the top, folded it all together too spread it into the baking dish. It was alone too thus I realized I'd left the one-half loving cup of almonds sitting on the counter. Oy. Oh well...all's good that ends well. Obviously, this is a real forgiving recipe. And straightaway I receive got extra almonds AND a java cake! It's a win-win!
So, fifty-fifty amongst my botched method of mixing, it turned out only fine. I know because I've eaten ii pieces already. And since it's fourth dimension for my coffee, I powerfulness only receive got roughly other piece. Diet-Schmiet.
Okay, thus I'll complete off those Rainbow Jubilee blocks today, too that volition live roughly other put of blocks that take to live sewn into a flimsy. It's year's end, too I receive got several projects coming to a close. Also, Sue too I are walking this morning. It's been dry out all week, too thus the Fanno Creek Trail should live passable but cold. We're into the twenties for our temperature this morning. "Bundle Up," are the lookout adult man words for our walk this morning.
