Another Saturday
Here's another update on another weekend. I wonder if this will become a regular thing?
Friday was leap day. That means slippers (your FAVORITE slippers), finger food, wizard people, dear reads, and dinosaur cupcakes, courtesy of the lovely Hana:
Saturday, I finally got to work on my quilt. I purchased fabric at 3 fabric stores, washed it in 4 loads of laundry, ironed through 2 episodes of Start Trek (next gen), and cut a ginormous stack of little squares.
Which do you think is cuter - my new pin cushion, or Aketa?
Sunday, I woke up at 7:30, and made myself go back to sleep. I woke up at 8:15, and made myself go back to sleep. Finally, I started dreaming about fabric, and decided I could not wait any longer, it was time to start arranging.
This quilt is not as classically beautiful as the last, but I am a sucker for rainbows. The yellow is a bit washed out in these photos - it's much sunnier in person. The old ladies at the fabric stores love the lurid colors. Especially the lime greens - I have heard from so many older women about lime greens, I'm starting to wonder if it's a color that the mind somehow appreciates more with age.
In any case, one more trip to the fabric store should do it, and then I can start sewing. When I'm done with the big quilt, I will have enough extra fabric to make a smaller rainbow throw blanket. I haven't decided what to do with my extra blanket!

Typical Saturday
We went to the paint store to get paint for the kitchen. We met a gnome on the bus, and
a seagull in the parking lot.
When we got home, I dyed my hair, and Erik dyed his. We then snuggled up and read for a while, an made dinner when we got hungry. I've recently been craving ginger soy sauce, so we made out own by putting ginger in the soy sauce bottle. So tasty.
Especially on lightly sauteed carrots, with fennel, Jerusalem artichokes, and parsley.
Next, we made cupcakes. You always start with picking your appropriate alcohol base.
(ok, so that's not all alcohol - we keep our soy sauce, oils, and vinegars on that self also. )
After picking a carrot cake with strawberry, and a mate-irish cream, we set to work.
These are filled with pudding. The mate Irish cream didn't taste much like mate, or Irish cream. They mostly just tasted like custard... which was ok with me.
Rarr.

Hmmmmmm
So, the problem with this blog is that I have no idea if anyone is looking at it. It's a strange feeling. Myspace has spoiled me - I'm used to seeing exactly how many hits my blogs get, and receiving comments on most of my posts.
I did make it so that anyone can comment on this blog here - whether they have an account or not. Hint hint.
In other news, I found The Most Beautiful Quilt of All Time. This woman is a genius. My life ambition of the moment is to make something like this. Perhaps in a different color. Maybe not even.
....Also, must have dinosaur quilt.
