Beautiful First Monday in February 2025.
Up in the 60’s as I write this. High 70’s today or maybe a low 80! The birds are enjoying the feeders. Will be a good day to get some work done outside. Much different than last week.
We had our eye appointments last week. Still no glasses for Galen. He will use readers when he needs too. I could go with my old one, not a lot of difference but the coating on one lens is a problem so got an updated one. As I told him I can still thread a sewing needle!
Speaking of sewing, I managed to get the last of the 3 quilts bound. It is Plot Twist. I didn’t like the instructions. They had cut off quite a bit of the uneven edges to make the border even! I have enough scrap fabric as it is. Found fabric here that I could use for setting triangles. Looking at this you can see how much I would have needed to cut off!
It was Lunar New Year on the 29th of January. Normally I do fix a Chinese meal but didn’t this year. Actually we went to Salt Grass for dinner! But I did get the placemats and napkins made so we could use them for Saturday’s dinner. We had good friends over for Crab Cakes. Both placemats and napkins are reversible. I have several containers of Asian fabrics that need to be used.
For a vegetable dish I tried a new recipe Skillet Roasted Green beans with garlic and Percornio Cheese I t was really good. Will go in my tried and good recipe folder. How many of us save recipes from magazines that look good and we never use? I have been going through some of those and asking-why did I save it or I really need to try this one? There is a cabbage one on my list for later this week.
Galen was out most of Sunday. Went with a friend to their place near Leakey, Texas. He was finally able to give them their Christmas present-the Texas quilt I made last Fall. She was thrilled. I had debated on Dragonflies and Butterflies or a Texas theme. Decided on the Texas theme. She said that was even better than the Nature inspired theme. The backing is all names of Texas cities.
Lady and I enjoyed deck time yesterday while Galen was out.
