Where did the weekend go?
I can't believe how fast time flies!! It's early Sunday morning already! I am up because of this awful cold and bronchitis I have. Woke up coughing up a lung ( almost!) . So I'm up waiting for my cough meds with codeine to kick in!!
Planning to go to the Queen Bee fabric sale in Antioch, CA later today with my friend , Laurie. I really don't need more fabric, but how can I resist a sale!!!
I have almost finished packing for my trip to St Paul, Minnesota on Monday. I have to go there for work for a week! Hope I don't freeze!! Trying to decide on whether just to bring a knitting project for the week or maybe some handpiecing stuff for my Grandmother's Garden quilt that I have been working on for 4 years!! Decisions, decisions!!
I have almost finished cutting out my fabric for "You Need a Rita". I'm taking a Linda Ballard class through my guild, Carquinez Strait quilters , later this month. I always enjoy Linda's mystery retreats, but this was fun because I knew what the quilt will look like so it was a little easier to choose the fabrics. I'm using a red and black batik print as my border and focal fabric with red, green and a off white small dot fabric. Will try to post some pictures later - need to figure out how to do that!!!
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Monday Morning
and back to work!! The 2 weeks vacation went by fast!! I only managed to get my quilts hung up on my walls in my living room and family room and also finished 6 blocks for a block exchange. I still need to catch up on my Paper Piecing round robin blocks. I'm behind 3 blocks!!! Need to get these done before our next meeting at the end of the month or I'll be 4 blocks behind!! Will have to figure out how to do that between being on the road for work 2 weeks out of this month!! YIKES!

Good Morning New Year!
Finally got up around 10:00! Just finished preparing the Bread Pudding for dessert tonite! I used Paula Deen's and Pioneer Woman's recipes to put it together, so it should be delicious!! Making a Whiskey sauce to go over it!! Planning to Quilt with my friend Sharon tomorrow. I need to get my exchange blocks done so I can get my blocks!!! There are 5 of us that are making 2 - 12 inch blocks for each other so when we exchange, we will have enough to make a quilt top!
On the plan today, is more family time, football, and MORE cooking!! After today, I go on strike!!! LOL!
Hope everyone has a wonderful start for the New Year!

Dessert
For some reason, I'm on a cooking kick!! Maybe it's because I watched "Julie and Julia" the other day?
Preparing a Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce for New Year's day. Also, made the sauce for Siracha Chicken wings to serve tomorrow during all the Bowl games!
I'm going to have to get back to work so I'll stop cooking and gaining weight!!! :)
