BIND THY TIME

I sewed my binding on Ojos (ISF & ISR) on the first side...I used leftover strips from the Fairy quilts for Willa and Fiona...

I pieced these two together....just one little piece left of this lovely geranium 
fabric....

the main part of the backing is this lovely Monet-like landscape fabric...and the french script on either end....
so lovely....

Tomorrow I will sew the flip side of the binding down and then prepare
my label...today my back and shoulders need a time out....

Thom surprised me with this little gem of a surprise gift 
to ease my sewing bigger pieces:

This little side table to support my quilt and not have it dragging along the 
floor and constantly pulling.....;}}} what a sweetie--

I was able to relax more and it went on easily...well, ....
one little wavey piece on
my quilt..but I was able to  ease it in...not perfect--but done ;)))

I am so happy to have this almost finished....and to be able to move onto my
"Bret Bart and Me" project (see my last post for explanation).
*******************************************
I am making, on this windy, chilly and gray afternoon, homemade
chicken soup...a lighter meal tonight after last night's debacle....
I am using lo-fat, salt-free broth and pre-boiled chicken, with onions, celery a few carrot shreds and minimal seasoning....

After this happened:

Thom made his usual terrific creamed tuna on toast--last night
for supper....
but....we both ended up
feeling like we had lead in our stomachs and suffering from heartburn--
up and down all night  (Hello Pepcid and Tums)

JUST TOO RICH a sauce for us these days...so, 
                      this becomes the TUNE: (Tuna--groan...)
                           "...good-bye, so long forever..."..
for that recipe...
It seems ...............

We no longer can tolerate heavy sauces and gravy ....or very spicey foods....

I am attempting to change (not easy for me after cooking with them forever!!)
my cooking style...to lighten up our meals without losing flavor--I mean what
is the point of it, if it isn't satisfying, right?  I haven't had much success with
googled recipes either....both our families made "meat and potatoes" sorts
of meals while we were growing up as was the custom then.  that's
what we are used to....but, everything changes.....

Well...............I guess this has turned out to be a discourse on cooking and
aging digestive systems...huh!  who knew...

Thanks for reading (if you managed to get this far!) ;000

the French...;}}} )
