Sleepy Sunday

 Today was another hot day. Neither of us cared to do anything outside. I did tiptoe out to water a few wilted plants, but otherwise, stayed inside. 

The Mister helped me by drilling holes in a few quarters so that I could complete the ALDI quarter fobs.


I made some small 'gift bags' for the quarter fobs, and embroidered a tea towel as a prize for the winner of our game on Tuesday.


I completed the quilting on my friend's quilt. It is ready to deliver to her when I see her in September. 

I stripped my "Delaware Doll"  to wash her aged, yellowed clothes. The Woolite that I purchased didn't do anything for the yellowed whites. I need to get some Oxyclean and see if that can attack the yellow.


I stitched and turned my Delaware quilt. I decided not to bind it as I most often do with my current quilts. My next step will be to hand quilt it. That will be a challenge for me!


Lastly, I made some banana/blueberry muffins for the ladies who will come visit on Tuesday. 
I did taste test one.... yummy! 


The Mister ran out to Home Depot for AC filters and then stopped at Publix. He brought home hotdogs. We haven't had them in a long while...and dinner of hotdogs, pasta salad and asparagus was yummy!

  1. I can actually say I have never had blueberry and banana muffins, that's a new flavour for me. Sounds good though.

    1. ....I had bananas, I had blueberries...I search for muffins with both of those and went from there.

  2. You had a busy day. If you cannot get rid of the yellowing maybe tea staining the fabric would work.

    1. That's an option...you are right that a tea dye would make it all one color, but I'd rather have the piece be bright white. It's a pinafore of the dolls dress. It soaked in Oxyclean for a few hours and is much whiter. I'll see what it looks like when it dries.

What thoughts do you have?

A Stop in Cuba

Cuba, MO is a charming small town on Rt. 66, southwest of St. Louis. The roots of Route 66 go back to Indian tribes and their hunting trails...
