seldear15 Things Worth Knowing About Coffee: exactly what it says on the packet.
Schadenfreude pie recipe: it would probably kill you from the sweet. But I really want to try to make this sometime. (Would have to find Australian versions of things like the molasses.)
Disney Princess mash-up
Black bean beef roast. Made it last night for dinner. Have leftovers for at least another two meals - three if I don't eat too much. Come over someday and I shall make it for you and your tastebuds shall REJOICE like great rejoicing things. I promise!
I want honey snaps. Arnotts biscuit company stopped making them in the mid-90s and I've never yet tried to make them instead. Hoooooney Snaaaaaps.
It has rained like crazy here these last few days. I'm a bit worried about the driveway gutter at home - it needs clearing out, but there's never time. Or energy. Except now there's rain. "My roof never leaks when it doesn't rain," anyone?
...someone sit on me before I buy any more fabric. My current weakness is Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms series, which is so bright and happy and beautiful and irresistable, except I really must resist for the sake of the five boxes of fabric I already have!
I have the fabrics picked out for the Supernova quilt-along at Freshly Pieced, too. And I think I've fixed up the Sanctuary quilt issues. Except that I've run out of fabric and had to order more. (See? Five boxes of fabric.) And it will be a very busy quilt, visually.
Sel's Rule #1 of Kaleidoscope quilting: don't use fabrics with busy patterns.
In the meantime, I'm trying to sew as many blocks together so I can arrange them, photograph them, and put them away in prep for the Supernova quilt-along.
Monday morning: /o\

I would never sit on you, because with my sheer bulk you would end up as a very flat SelDear indeed (although you are welcome to sit on me, unless you're wearing a porcupine suit or a Lady Gaga outfit).
Are there any Quilters Anonymous groups in your area?
