More Leaves and a Bit of Coffee

I have been having coffee at all hours of the day and night.  Tonight we went out for dinner and it started raining.  I was freezing in the restaurant.  Then we headed to Target to pick peaches and a turkey breast for dinner tomorrow night, I was freezing in the store.  (Turkey Breast and Sweet Potato Puree).  Sounds good, right?

So to warm up Frank had Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino and I had Apple Pie a la Mode coffee!  Ah-ma-zing!

Earlier this afternoon while it was threatening to storm and hail golf balls and form tornado winds (it never did actually), I quilted several more blocks.  This row is smaller than the first row of leaves I did.




So I did these guys, but only the background and I got a call from CAAWS.  So that ended that!





It looks Ah-ma-zing too!


These 4 blocks have the background complete but I need to do the leaves.  I started one of them, and that phone call came.





This one needs to be rolled down to be completed, but I thought I would get the jump on the bottom half!

So I guess I can't figure the completion percentage until I finish the green leafy portion.

Hey, I am going to figure it anyway............and tomorrow it will be already done!

When I finish the 4 leaf blocks it will be 25.8%. 

You know, I think I had named this quilt Leaf Me Alone.  What do you think about that?

Death In the Family

Yes, quite an intimate one at that.  My coffeemaker.

Well, it was much more than a coffee maker, it made cappuccino.  And the steamed milk to go with it.  It was 12 or so years old.

And it still works, sort of.  I don't want to give it up.  I want it to keep on working.

But the aggravation came to a point where I finally accepted Frank's offer of a Keurig.  2.0 so it is the latest and greatest.

I have to say, even my coffee connoisseur friend Michael now owns a Keurig.


My old Breville just LOOKS more important, doesn't it?


But it is totally plastic.  It makes an OK cup of coffee, but people, it's plastic!
