Step 1 Cutting

I have two projects I'm going to try to finish this week. Daniel's birthday is next week and I found a great tutorial at Obsessively Stitching for Angry Birds. He was obsessed with the game on his iPhone for a while.




I have all the pieces cut out. Now just to add the appliqué and put them together. Care has a different technique where you sew the appliques from the back then cut out the shapes. We'll see how it goes.

I am also working on the lattice quilt tutorial from From the Blue Chair. Daniel's cousin Megan's baby shower is next weekend, so the goal is to have it done by then.


Most of the triangles and strips are cut out. It will get me started and get a good feeling for the size of it.

Bread

I made bread today from Made's website. It turned out amazing!





Doesn't it look yummy! The one on top is the regular bread and the bottom is a cinnamon and sugar. According to my hubby, it sucks and he'll have to take it to work with him tomorrow.

It was nice to enjoy it after all the issues with the furnace. As of now they replaced the fan wheel, but it won't turn off. Apparently a relay went out and as old as our system is they have to rewire it. I'm so thankful for our fireplace. It keeps the house at 72+ with only using the blower not the heatalator.

I better put up the bread before the hubby eats it all!
