The Sewing Mom

I’m getting ready to head out the door to complete a long list of errands. I need to get things done today before I start my job on Monday. I’m used to being able to do things when I want, so I’m sure there will be an adjustment period of me getting used to my routine. Of course, once I get through the 7 weeks of training, I’ll be working from the house and so won’t have to contend with commute time!

Today’s to-do list:

1. Post Office
2. Get state inspection on van done
3. shop for phone and headset for home office (required for new job)
4. shop for backing fabric for the quilt top I finished yesterday
5. shop for bead and buttons for my 12 Days of Christmas quilt project
6. pick up some groceries

Of course, my favorite thing is shopping for fabric, and, I’m heading to a quilt shop I’ve never been to before, so I’m excited!  I managed to save myself some time by shopping for unique beads online and even found some wholesale gemstone beads at up to 30% discount, that I can use on my 12 Days of Christmas project. I’ll be sure to share photos later.

I’m off, lots to do, very little time!

It’s Friday! It’s also my last day before starting 7 weeks of training, so I have a lot to get done today. First though, I just have to do my absolute favorite meme, Four Foods on Friday.

Here are this weeks questions and my answers:

#1. Share a recipe for something Italian. Well, I consider it a staple of our diet and we eat it probably once a week, spaghetti. Although I do occasionally make my sauce from scratch, I typically brown hamburger with onion and then poor on a jar of Ragu. I have recently switched over to whole wheat noodles and I really like them. The noodles are firmer and more filling.

#2. Jam, jelly, preserves, marmalade, fruit butter or butter. What’s on your toast or bread? I don’t eat toast too often, but when I do, I like it with butter and either strawberry jam or jelly.

#3. What’s your favorite Kellogg’s product? (Since they’re multinational I’m hoping everyone can answer this one. If you don’t have Kellogg’s products, what’s your favorite cold breakfast cereal?) I like the Kellogg’s Special K with strawberries. I like both the cereal and the cereal bars.

#4. Do you like liver? What about liverwurst? I do like liver and onions, although, I haven’t cooked it myself in many years. I ate it recently at a restaurant and really enjoyed it. I’m not a fan of liverwurst though.
