Domestic Sunday

My first Busy Little Quilting Bee fabrics!!! I already know how I want to put my blocks together!!! Today will be buzzing :)
AND...
Fresh produce picked right off the tree!! (Maybe Monday we'll pick blackberries!)

My parents have a fig tree! And a plum tree! The pears came from their neighbor...Pear butter maybe?! I promised the boys a plummy treat if the picked the tree clean! They did it. (Grandpa helped and taught R how to use the lopper. Fun) Plum Kuchen? We ate some of the figs chopped in vanilla yogurt with toasted pecans and mini chocolate chips. I liked it.

A day for sewing and baking! YAY!...The trick will be staying on task...

First day of school

And I am BEAT! (I teach pre-k 4&5yrs and Pre-school 3&4 yrs)My class this year is so sweet, and I love them already! (of course! cuties!)
Now, I get to do it again tomorrow! Two first days in a row is exhausting...I am looking forward to Monday when we'll all know each other a bit and have an idea about the routine. Whew!! I'm already planning a long sleep in on Saturday. Off to cook dinner and crash out!

My own boys had good first day too! They were is such good moods when I picked them up!!
Hooray!

*Edit
First day part 2; My little ones are so very cute, too! And busy. Whew! Catch-phrase of the day: "Shouting is not sharing" (sharing is hard. and sitting still and using a chair(only required at snack) and lining up and waitingfor your turn) Whew! (but no fussers!)I think these guys'll catch on quick!

Almost...

The binding on this quilt is less than 5 inches too short! I guess measuring would have been a good idea. Or pinning. Ah, well. I'll finish this silly thing eventually.

Busy Little Quilting Bee


There have been a few quilting bees going on around crafty blogland and they have all been beautiful! (who doesn't love sharing something that brings them joy) How excited am I to be a part of one myself!! Thanks to Sarah of A Small Fox In A Big World for putting together the Busy Little Quilting Bee. Something I made will be a part of someone else's quilt and I'll have a quilt that will have the work of 16 other people !! Oh, man!! I can hadly wait to see what happens!
