It's the worst twenty-four hours of the yr because I pick out a fasting blood depict this morning time (just routine), as well as that agency I haven't had my coffee. I cannot last held responsible for anything I tell or write. Also, I haven't had my breakfast, as well as my tummy is grumbling
Which brings me to something actually worth grumbling about...paper-piecing. Yesterday's bout reminded me why I loathe paper-piecing hence much. First, there's the mess, as well as the waste, as well as the pieces that are equally good small. But the worst role is realizing a couplet of pieces downward the route that you lot should pick out used a dissimilar coloring dorsum there, as well as there's actually no way to cook it. That's what happened yesterday on the start department of the day. See the trivial dark slice marked amongst an arrow?
I was several steps downward the route when I realized I'd used cerise where I should pick out used black. I tried unsuccessfully to cook only that i piece, but as well as hence ended upwards backing upwards several steps as well as starting over amongst it. At to the lowest degree I didn't pick out to reprint the paper, which brings a whole other degree of frustration to this process. I impress on newsprint to brand the newspaper easier to remove, but my printer doesn't similar it, as well as it won't feed through. I pick out to record the newsprint to a regular canvas of re-create newspaper as well as and hence run them through together. Don't fifty-fifty larn me started on how long it took to impress all the pages of the pattern.
Once I had that start department done, the remainder went pretty well, but I was already inwards a seriously bad mood. I recall I was already anticipating this morning's lack of coffee.
And at that spot was fourth dimension left for some other section.
And another.
And that's where I left it for the day. The designing tin last sewn together inwards ii halves, as well as and hence the halves sewn together to consummate the whole. I pick out only i department left on the start half, which should last like shooting fish in a barrel plenty to complete today. After that, at that spot are only half-dozen to a greater extent than sections, as well as hence I'm confident I tin complete it off past times tomorrow.
Also, I wasn't certain what I was going to usage for the back, as well as hence I took a trivial stroll inwards Ye Online Fabric Shoppe terminal dark as well as came away amongst ii yards of this:
Perfect, huh? I actually didn't take ii yards, but it'll brand a cute Quilts for Kids quilt i of these days.
There was some other novel recipe inwards the kitchen, as well as it took some time. It was a way to usage Fava beans, i of the mystery CSA vegetables...a mystery because I never know what to produce amongst them. I've been belongings on to this recipe for at to the lowest degree a year, waiting for the expected Fava beans to brand an appearance. This is Beer-Braised Chicken Stew amongst Fava Beans as well as Peas, as well as it was pretty darned good.
I'm non a beer drinker, as well as hence when the recipe called for a "Belgian Beer," I had no sentiment what that meant. Mike informed me nosotros had a bottle of Fat Tire inwards our refrigerator, which turned out to last just the correct thing. It has a mild flavor, as well as fifty-fifty individual who doesn't attention for beer (that would last me) liked this dish. I made it only equally the recipe suggested, using boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
And I actually shouldn't last talking well-nigh nutrient because I'm hungry, as well as I'm missing my coffee. In fact, I'm downright Depresso.
Fortunately, I pick out a trivial truthful cat waiting for me downstairs.
She's non depresso...she's only comfy. Time for some slow-stitching.
