BOOKISH FRIDAY, et al

 

A new quilt book has landed

in my mailbox!! 

My reasoning (excuse really!!)

hahaha--

like I need any more quilt books!!

R E A L L Y???

👧😇

is that I have a ton of Charm packs

and want to begin whittling them

down as I've made a big dent in

my mini charms now....

See those page markers???

I have marked 

NINE

out of the 18 quilt patterns

in here that I really

would love to make!

This has to be some 

kind of record

👀💫

for a single book...

***********************

Tonight I am making 

"Magpie's Mumblings" 

(see her blog for recipe)

↡↡↡↡↡

"Smoked Sausage Foil Packets".

I am using Sweet Italian

sausages and having Tom

pre-partial-cook them on

our grill before I incorporate

them (sliced) into the foil packet.  

[For some reason I

cannot fathom

putting RAW

meat of any kind 

alongside veggies,

touching each other,

like those Sheet Pan type recipes..

And these packets will have raw

potatoes and peppers and onions..]

ANYWAAAAY..

that's just me...;))

****************************

Right now we are watching the

Austrian Practice for the

Sunday Grand Prix while we have

our 2nd cuppa coffee...

A slow start for us on

this rainy and muggy

morning.  

****************************

We are in "cleaning/prep

mode" for my daughter and her family's

Sunday visit...

A late celebration of the twins'

graduating High School

when I will give them their 

"Going Away To College"

quilts...

Tom is making his spaghetti sauce

which will be accompanied by

salad and garlic bread

and followed by 

Italian Gelatos and

fancy cookies and brownies

for dessert...

Yesterday I did all the grocery shopping

and today will begin the "picking up" phase.

I am so excited to be seeing my

grandchildren all together here.

AND

catching up

at long last....

👏👏👏👏

That is where I am right now...;)))
