I am currently shoveling out my house, in a big way. How is it that you can have a reasonably clean house on Thursday morning, so decide to spend Thursday afternoon and Friday morning sewing, and when you emerge from your happy and lovely sewing cacoon on Friday afternoon, your house is a PIGSTY, the laundry is BEYOND BACKED UP, and suddenly every project around your house that has been sort of hovering in your head moves up to the very front, must-be-done-immediately category, and you feel all panicky?! Or, is that just me?!
In fabulous news, my oversized, king size bed quilt is coming along, all in all, fairly swimmingly for a giant enormous thing, and I'm excited to see it done, which I'm hoping to accomplish in the next couple days. I have seven other projects backed up and waiting, which pleases me, some are little, and some are big. I like to have projects backed up and waiting, and someday I shall pay someone to clean my house, so I can just sew, and not worry about cleaning toilets, ever again. I shall also move to fairy land, and eat excessive amounts of butter and cream at the same time, without ever gaining weight. Perhaps I shall also buy a Bugatti, and be skinny and tan. We might as well dream big. Here is a sneak peek at a section of the quilt below, because I am SO excited about the fabrics, which I have been collecting over the period of two years, and cannot wait for it to be done so I can paint our room, and enjoy the whole snuggly, slightly strange, yet so totally me--ummm, US, I mean, thing. 
Saturday Frank BBQ'ed for us. We just hung around the house, enjoying the blissful springtime in Wenatchee weather, and eating, and baby snuggling and with dog playing.

I have two quarts of his AMAZING BBQ sauce in the fridge now, which I am very happy about, because it really is the best thing I've ever tasted... Perhaps I shall eat it with a spoon.
Our girls LOVE ribs, and I love the ear-to-ear BBQ sauce smiles they get when they eat them... :-)
And, he smoked a Pear Raspberry Crisp for us, as well. It was AMAZING! I love smoked desserts...
Specially with melty Vanilla Bean Ice Cream over the top.
Happy Monday!
Mercy, that dessert looks divine! And your quilt! I'm loving the wild colors!
ReplyDeleteYUM YUM YUM!!! My mouth is watering and the salmon I am cooking no longer sounds appetizing. Auntie G
ReplyDeleteNice looking quilt! Might be warm for summer, but really nice next fall! MMMM, I don't know if I will make any more crisp when you come, cause mine will not be as tasty I can guarantee! grammy
ReplyDeleteYour mind rambles all funny and silly like mine! You crack me up! I enjoy reading your blog! =) Never had smoked sweet anything... sounds interesting!?!! =)
ReplyDeleteJust Jenn~

ReplyDeletethe dessert looks divine! and the quilt-to-be looks awesome.

Good lands! I'm drooling.... ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished quilt! My mom has been working on mine. It was for Christmas, and she said she'd have it done by mid-Jan...I'm still waiting. ;) Ohwell, I suppose it's not like she doesn't have anything else to do.
Oh my goodness those ribs look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love the combo of fabrics for your quilt. Is that fur?
Yep, it's base is just a flannel rag quilt, but then I've overlaid the top with different fabrics-a taffeta, a satin, a minkee (fur), one home decorator weight cotton, and one quilting weight cotton. I've seen other people do them this way, so hopefully it works for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay, we need Frank's recipe for that Raspberry Crisp decadent thing. And is he sharing the BBQ sauce or did I just miss it?
ReplyDeleteThe quilt? OMWORD that is gonna be GORGEOUS!!!! I'm wild over the fabrics shown and would do nearly anything to have your seemingly endless energy. Man, Naomi. SIGH-ay-yi-yi-YI.....
HI GIRLS!!!!
