Losing my Mind?

Last night I started in on the kitchen and couldn't find some wooden plate stands I thought I had put away somewhere. I remembered putting them in a place that would make total sense the next time I looked for them. But could I find them? Nope! I finally gave up. This morning, not too surprisingly, I woke up feeling a need to do some organizing around the house.

Well, one thing led to another, and then another, and before I knew it, I had spent the whole day cleaning and organizing again. Where did my weekend go? What happened to my time to relax?!

I never really did find the pile of wooden plate stands, although I gathered some from here, there, and everywhere, but I still think I'm missing a few. Hummm. I guess that will be a project for another day, because this one's quickly coming to an end.

Between all the cleaning and organizing, I did a little bit of cooking. I'm not sure what you'd call this pie, but I was trying to use up a bunch of leftover stuff--a graham cracker crust, a package of cream cheese, a bottle of Kahlua . . . . Well, maybe not the WHOLE bottle, but there is a healthy bit in there! Some marshmallows, a package of chocolate pudding. Anyway, I threw together a base layer of cream cheese, Kahlua, instant coffee granules, and some sugar; then I made a top layer of chocolate pudding and marshmallows. It turned out pretty good! I don't have a recipe other than what I just mentioned but it was simple enough.

After dinner, I finally got back into the Sweat Shop--which, by the way, needs some organizing too, but that will also have to wait for another day. I did manage to finish the blue, white, and yellow table topper I made from the Hat Trick Schnibbles pattern.

And one last look at the table topper with the blue and white plates in the hutch in the background.

Sorry the photos aren't great, but it's night and there's no natural light.

Thank you all for the compliments on the scrappy star quilt I pinned yesterday. For those of you who asked, I don't think I had a pattern for the quilt. It seems to me that something inspired the idea but I can't remember what that was. Still, it's just made with a pretty traditional star block and sashing. I think I'll post a tutorial on it in the next week or two since so many of you were interested. Be warned, though, that since it's scrappy, I won't be able to give you fabric requirements, but I'll show you the steps and give you the measurements.

Thanks for stopping in to visit!
