More of the Same . . .

I thought I'd get the Schnibbles quilt top done in just a couple hours today, and maybe I WOULD have if I hadn't sewn a couple rows together upside down!

Quilting always takes longer than we expect it to, though, doesn't it? I discovered my mistakes about mid-afternoon and spent a little time reverse sewing until I had to leave to meet family for dinner. In the evening, I sewed everything back together--in the correct order--and finished the quilt top by the time the 11 p.m. news came on.

I did a little more meal preparation today too--I cooked some pasta and put together a casserole for Hubby to bake later in the week. I realized we had a bit of sliced pepperoni and some shredded mozzarella left from something Hubby had made a week or two ago--I added them to the pasta and the sauce I made yesterday, I think it will turn out nicely! Although Hubby cooks on week nights, sometimes it's just easier for me to do a little meal prep ahead of time than it is to try to write down a recipe or explain to Hubby what I had in mind, especially when he calls me at work--I often have a hard time mentally switching gears from my work to what's going on at home. So this is easier for him and for me. Gosh, I even made apple pancakes with sauteed apples for breakfast--I guess maybe the domestic fairy whacked me on the head with her wand while I slept Friday night.

I thought I'd get to work on an applique BOM project or two this weekend but I sure didn't get to it. Something to look forward to this week--I'd hate to run out of things to do, wouldn't you? As if THAT would ever happen! Happy quilting!
