ScrapHappy Saturday

 

Just trying to rev up my blues. I have a light blue scrap bucket and a dark blue scrap bucket. So finding blue shouldn’t be a problem. I sewed 3 split nine blocks, cut pieces for 1 more and also for some zipper blocks. I’m mixing dark and light in my blocks.

I started stitching the June design on Woven Wreaths. I like this watering can with baby’s breath in it. The little bee is a tiny stitch. But Kathy has some great tips in her YouTube tutorial for completing the bee. I’ll get him done today, or finish him tomorrow while watching CBS Sunday Morning. I want to look at the tutorial one more time before doing the bee.

I caught whatever it was that Mr. Busy had last week. I call it a summer cold. Headache, runny nose, some aches and pains that are relieved by Tylenol. And a scratchy throat that feels better when I drink my Hot Spiced Tea. I used to call it Russian Tea, but now it’s just Spiced Tea. 🫖 So not much was accomplished, but I got several naps! 💤

I don’t add sugar at all. I like the pucker of the lemonade flavor. When this recipe was given to me you could buy Wyler’s Lemonade in packets like KoolAid. Now I buy a canister of CountryTime Lemonade and a canister of Tang and just make a batch at a time.

I’m linking with Angela for ScrapHappy Saturday! 

Hope your Saturday is only blue because of the fabrics you touch today.

 Stay Busy and Stay Happy 

I LIKE Thursday ~. 5-23-24

Prompts for May 23 2024:

Do you have a morning routine?

  I sort of have a routine. I like to be up between 6:00 and 6:30am. The first thing I do is turn on the Keurig. Then I put on fuzzy pj pants ( in the winter, my house is still cold at 6am) and a sweatshirt, wool socks and slippers. Then I make a cup of coffee and ready my morning meds. This is followed by 1 hour of blog reading or writing. 

Other things: 

We celebrated our great granddaughter’s 39th birthday on Sunday. Burgers, brats, potato salad, fruit bowl with homemade dip, veggie tray from the supermarket.soda, ice tea and soda. I didn’t get a single photo!😢 I can share the fruit dip recipe though. It’s from Beth @ thefirstyearblog.com. 

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 cups vanilla yogurt
• ▢ 1 container marshmallow creme, 7 oz
• ▢ 1 cup cool whip
• ▢ Fresh fruit

I tweaked it just a bit. I only had 1 container of FF vanilla yogurt in the fridge, so I used about 3/4 of the marshmallow crème, a cup of Sugar Free cool whip and a drizzle of honey. Using an electric hand mixer, I beat it til smooth and that’s it. Ooh! So good! 

Nobody wanted cake, so I sent 1/2 the angel food cake, 1/2 the strawberries and a container of regular whipped topping home with them. 

We  visited, sang Happy Birthday with her husband( in St Louis for work)and her sister in Vermont on FaceTime.  We also played, Guess Who? 

and several rousing rounds of Right, Left, Center with the Littles. Though I’m soon going to have to quit calling Joe, a little. At nearly 11, he’s almost as tall as me! 

Tuesday night, the 2 First Grades at Miss B’s school had their music program. 

I thought I could share the video her mon took and posted on FB. But she has it locked down to just family.  But here’s the program. Sorry for the crumpled program, it was raining as we walked to the car afterwards. 

And the binding and label are complete on the quilt for my nephew. It goes in the mail today!

I redacted his name and the quilter’s name. Didn’t get permission from them. 

We got groceries yesterday, had takeout for lunch,, returned Mr Busy’s book to the library, and  dropped off three bags at the recycling center!

That’s about all! Sharing at Not Afraid of Color

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
