Down and Out

I've got the sick. I am not happy about it.

On the upside I have many meals ready to eat. My team met on Sunday to cook.

Turkey pot pie. That's reading Heather flashing her fancy apron. Isn't it cute?


A Mexican bake.


Juile kneading the pastry for the pot pie. We also made a tortellini sausage bake and a chicken ragu pasta sauce. Usually we are 8 and aim to make 5 recipes but Sunday we were only 6.
It was a good news day. Sewing Heather got a new job, Julie passed a board exam. YAAA!

The latest installment in the patch along. The log cabin.

I struggled with the math but it turned out ok. One more patch this Friday. I think I will make a little doll size quilt with these sample patches to practice the quilting part.

We are heading out tomorrow night to my parents. My mom is out of commission and going a little crazy. She broke her ankle a few weeks ago, then started to get a serious pain in her leg under her cast. It was a blood clot. She has to go to the hospital everyday for shots and blood tests. Scary. She is slowly responding to the medication. So we are going to keep her coming and maybe do some laundry for her.

Love the patch, that's so cool! I don't think I could ever fashion such a thing, since I never learned much about sewing. But it looks amazing.
