I'm so happy to be quilting again. After 5 weeks of mask making, I'm finally done with them! If there's a need when the next wave of the virus comes along, then I'll go back into masks. But for now, freedom!
Here are the first 2 rows. I'm so loving this quilt! The pictures aren't great, but they'll do for now. I think of the quilt as a bit of a knot garden, except that it's not a garden, so... the name of this quilt is Knot a Garden.
I'm knitting a sweater, the usual pair of socks, and baking and cooking a lot. It sometimes seems that we spend our days eating. Breakfast, mid-morning break with home-made biscotti, lunch, mid-afternoon break with home-made muffins, supper, and nibbles while watching TV.
Way back in January, I started to run out of all-purpose and bread flours. So the Hubz, who loves to market, bought me some more. We already had yeast bought in Dec (I think). I buy yeast by the pound, and freeze the bulk of it. I take off enough for a small jar and keep that in the fridge. It lasts me about a year. We also put in a flour order from King Arthur flour. It was all back-ordered, and was supposed to arrive in about a month. Instead we got it all in a couple of weeks. So we are all set from bread and pizza baking as well as muffins, biscotti, etc.
And on that note, I'm off to eat lunch.




we finally have flour back in the store but no yeast. I usually buy the packets and back in early March when I started to get a feeling there might be shortages I bought a bit of yeast and got flour and I still have some of both as I haven't baked as much as I thought I might.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is getting a little better out - but we all need to stay careful of course - we are still home most of the time and wearing mask when out near people
Love the quilt
