Mail and Baking

Greetings all! ~ Well, am I excited or what?! Remember me telling you that I had a pattern that I won coming in the mail? Well it landed in my mailbox yesterday! That was really fast! I won the giveaway from Kim of Stillmeadow Quilting. Thanks a bunch Kim! I was so excited that my son thought I was going to come unglued! Not really, but I was pretty excited! I had already been pulling fabrics that I thought I would use. Soon after it's arrival, and I'm talking maybe 15-20 minutes, I grabbed my fusable webbing and went to tracing out the shapes. In no-time I had the shapes all ironed in place and cut out! I didn't notice until this morning when I was taking a picure of it, that I had accidently traced the same leaf twice instead of tracing the third. I will have to fix that today. I know the snap below isn't a great one because of the glare, but once I get this put together, you'll be able to see it better.

Now this little birdie is not going to go beakless. I have decided to satin stitch his beak on rather than use a small piece of scrap. I think it will look ok. Can you see my leaf goof-up? Ugh.

Well, yesterday was a chilly day. We are expecting about two feet of snow along with sleet and thick ice! I thought it made for a good baking day so I whipped up some coffee cake muffins and this......

....became this! Yummy! Didn't take us long to gobble them up. Of course after the gobbling came the wobbling . Gotta watch that!

Well, I suppose the time has come to wrap this up and get on with my day. Hope you all have a most excellant day! Thanks for stopping by.

'til next time,

don't be a stranger,
