The four little ornaments are ready to have the beading added but I have to wait for the mailman to deliver what I need. I have tons of beads but they're all too large for these.
The mailman very nicely left me a package that held a piece of this fabric...
Resident Chef made this recipe and it's definitely a winner. Good for breakfast OR you could serve it with a dollop of ice cream for a dessert. Good either way!

Today's quote is from Honore De Balsac...."When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt"
Lovely fabrics, they will make a gorgeous cute quilt. Nice choices there.
ReplyDeleteGood quote
Yard monsters will be fun!
I like the recipe. Reading to the next line after the instructions, I thought you were highlighting the Resident Chef as the "quite adorable fellow."
Oh my - now I'm in hysterics! Resident Chef IS a rather adorable fellow and he does have a number of uses....so funny!!!!!!
DeleteI have been expecting to see a baby quilt in the works there. I would definitely give you an excellent mark on your choice of fabrics. Resident Chef certainly does come up with some great dishes,
ReplyDeleteA new baby simply can't go without a quilt! And an afghan (or two)....and several sweaters....and hats....and toys. I do take my grandmotherly duties quite seriously! And yes, Resident Chef is outstanding in the cooking department.
DeleteMy goodness you sure have been madly stitching!!! Love the ornaments, and the fabric you chose for the quilt.
ReplyDeleteMust try that recipe..well once my oven is fixed that is.
God bless.
Ornaments don't take a long time to stitch, luckily. While I wait for the 5" fabric squares to arrive I have to start thinking about how I'm going to actually make the quilt. Not being a sane quilter has drawbacks! Hope your oven is soon in working order!
DeleteThe ornaments will be adorable. Guessing top left is for newest little addition?
ReplyDeleteYou're right - yes, the top left one is for the baby. She won't need it for another year but I was on a roll and figured I might as well keep going and do hers too.
DeleteThe adorable fellow scores again. From now on resident chef will be AF. Adorable Fellow. He is pretty cute, after all..
ReplyDeleteWell I think he's pretty cute so maybe he should be called Adorable Resident Chef?
DeleteA lovely post from beginning to end, including the comments. The Ornies and fabrics are charming and the recipe sounds soo good.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you are enjoying yourself with these projects.
Yes, I'm having altogether too much fun with making the ornies - soon going to have to stop and switch gears though.
DeleteYour sweet stitcheries are so cute! And that fabric is beautiful. The two prints look like they were made for each other. Can't wait to see that quilt come together.
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought those two fabrics should be together too - and it turns out our daughter-in-love loves them so it's a win/win (or at least I hope it will be once the quilt is done!)
DeleteI love those fabrics Mary Anne. What a lovely quilt they will make! Never can understand how we all manage to have large stashes of items but when needed, they are never the right size.... colour.... etc! The ornaments are going to look fabulous! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteMy stash lacks something when it comes to cottons for quilts so I wasn't surprised when I couldn't come up with anything that would blend. Good thing there's online shops happy to send things!
DeleteI like the baby quilt fabrics.....a nice change from pink, blue, or yellow! Those monster eyeballs look like a fun project to do with my Grand-daughters......might so grab some of that foam.......it would be nice if they had fluorescent glow-in-the dark foam.....hmmmmmm.......
ReplyDeleteOur kids aren't 'in' to the traditional baby colours although pink in this case is acceptable to a degree. Mixing it with grey and green makes it okay. As for the glow-in-the-dark foam question - could you buy a little tube of glow-in-the-dark paint and paint the foam???
DeleteGood idea....I will see what's available when I visit Hobby Lobby. :)
DeleteYour Cookie Ornaments are so cute. Always the case...no beads the right size! How is it possible?! Love these fabrics for the baby quilt. YUM! I will definitely try this oatmeal recipe. Today is the first day of Fall/Autumn. Cooler days ahead...
ReplyDeleteBeads and buttons - you'd think, with my extensive stash of both items, that I'd have exactly what I need every single time. Such seems to not be the case lately.
