Hi Nancy,

 NB> this  RH>> week. Over the summer, I'll be teaching a kid from our
 NB> church how to  RH>> sew. Dovetailed in between her family's trips and
 NB> our trip, so should  RH>> be fun.
 NB>  NB>> Interesting finding the time, anyway... :)  Good to pass along
 NB> the  NB>> knowledge... and I'm sure there will be other lessons passed
 NB> along  NB>> with the sewing...  :)

 RH> Most likely some other stuff will get passed on. It'll be both machine
 RH> and hand sewing, the hand work to include some embroidery stitches.

 NB> Useful and fun both...  :)

Exactly! We changed the day to better suit her schedule so the first
lesson will be this week. No time for cooking lessons to go with it tho;
she will go from sewing to gymnastics.


 RH> She had transportation problems so couldn't come today; I used some of
 RH> the time to work on quilting a project for our granddaughter Sarah.

 NB> Redeeming the time...  :)   Plenty that needs doing...  :)

Yes, I did more of that sort of thing last night as well. After
finishing the prep work for the Life Group meal, I grabbed a quilt top
that needed some tweaking and started taking it apart to do the tweaks.
One more seam to pull out, then re-arrainge and re-sew. Then it'll be
ready for me to re-tie it & bind the edges. It's one I made for a double
bed size, now expanding into queen size. I've learned a lot about
quilting since I first made it. (G)


 RH> That's the way it goes. I got 10 blocks made on Tuesday so it's coming
 RH> along. Getting exercise jumping up to press the seams too. (G)

 NB> That's a better showing... puts you closer to the goal..  :)

 NB>  NB>> Quick and easy meals with a little pre-planning...  :)

 RH> Helps me to get more done in a day. I didn't get the one salad made
 RH> but may do so tomorrow. I did get several pieces of fabric prewashed
 RH> for future projects. Tomorrow we shop for the Life Group meal.

 NB> Always something.   :)

We'll have LG left overs for a couple of meals this week--that'll make
for easier meals.

 NB>  RH>> Yes, so we'll see how much food prep I actually get done
 NB> tomorrow. I'm  RH>> also going to make some pie crusts, some to be
 NB> kept as rounds in the  RH>> freezer, one to be used as the base for an
 NB> asparagus quiche.
 NB>  NB>> One plans... what actually happens can be another thing...
 NB> Asparagus  NB>> quiche sounds pretty nice..  :)

 RH> It was good; I used farmer's market asparagus, country ham and
 RH> mushrooms in it. There are also 3 pie crust rounds in the freezer for
 RH> future pies of some sort.

 NB> Yummy...  :)   And you are set-up for later as well..   :)

Just have to decide what to fill them with. One may get made into
Steve's favorite, a pumpkin pie.

Catch you later,

... One of these days, I'll quit procrastinating.
