No Calorie Sewing


I'm making some cupcakes


and brewing some hot coffee


 pickin' some cherries

 
baking and baking


on my sewing machine!

I'm addicted to making flour sack towels.
I can quit any time
as long as I don't go down the aisle that sells the 5 pack.

or stop at the fabric shop and head for the novelty prints.


then
I'll be fine
{Flour sacks ~ the best towels for drying dishes and glasses!}

~ love to you all ~ 
enjoy the weekend my dears!

Lots of Lovelies to See

Dad update:   The toaster oven is now downstairs in the sunroom area... tomorrow morning we're baking scones!   The objective right now is to keep him safe {without use of his cane he's at risk of another fall} ...
... safe, strong and positive...

  5. Hi Maria, what a great idea and so practical! BTW, just had to come by and tell you how insightful your comment was on my last post of the attempted bird rescue. It served as my spiritual lesson of the day. Thanks for that!

  6. PS: Just had to make a little PS after your comment this morning~

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE "As The Deer" but I absolutely cannot sing it without tearing up. I try not to...but every single time they just come.

    The song is a huge blessing to me!

    Love to you! Happy Day!

  20. I'm glad you are finding a way to work with and around your dad. It is a process that is for sure.

    I love your towels. I fell in love with the cupcakes until I saw the coffee cup. I have a mocha/latte theme in my kitchen. Of course the cherries are so colorful and the pink baking supplies are so cute...oh I can see why you are hooked on making them. Good thing I don't sew I guess!

  21. Well, I left a comment that isn't here-wonder what I did wrong? I'll try again. I love the towels. I thought I was in love with the cupcake until I saw the coffee cup, which is my weakness because my kitchen has a mocha/latte theme. Of course the cherries are so colorful and the baking pattern in so darn cute. I can certainly see why you can't stop making them...the fabric choices are wonderful. I think I'm glad I don't sew!
