This morning, Patrick was golfing and I was sleeping in. Then I finally got out the door to walk. Only made it 3 laps before the rain started to pour. Just as I got into the house the water was fast and strong coming down. I would have been even more soaked than I was.
I needed to go to the grocery store for some things to make dessert. Mom said she needed me to come to the Bazaar so she could give me the quilt top that was done. So, I headed down the street to the Bazaar. They were doing okay with the sales when I got there. It wasn't really busy, but it was getting some interest. They sold a few plates and a few of the wreaths we made. I will ask mom tomorrow when her and Georgie come over. I bought a couple cinnamon rolls that one of the gals was selling. Then I headed to Safeway. I didn't have much luck with coupons. That didn't make me happy. lol I picked up a lot of stuff and then come home. Patrick helped me unload.
I wanted to bake a cake from scratch. I did pretty good, till I forgot to put the eggs in the batter. So, I added the eggs and mixed it up. Then I told Patrick not to worry about the pan and just go ahead and oil/flour it. Of course, he had to do that since I was putting the dough in the pans when he asked if I added the eggs. OMG! I didn't! So, fixing that issue and then trying to get them in pans, well that's another issue. Of course, when they were cooked and coming out, I couldn't get them out of the pan. So, of course they broke apart and I will have to repair them when I put the frosting on. UGH!! After we had such a hard time, Patrick reminded me that I could have put parchment paper down on the pans first. REALLY! Now you tell me! Okay, in honesty, I haven't baked a cake in a long time using the round tins. The 13x8" pans work great for me. But this was a cake that was rounds, so of course, I had to make it right. We put them in the frig downstairs for tonight. I will work on the frosting tomorrow; there are like 3 kinds to this one. Lord help me, that I can fix it and it doesn't look like a cow pie. I will let you know tomorrow.
I got the patter back that I was looking for that I bought for QOV. Now I have it, I'm going to get a couple kits ready for it. It's a simple pattern that will us up our big eagle fabric we have. Even the flag pattern fabrics will work. It works great for fat quarters too. So, when I get to the point of fat quarters, I will use them.
I was trying to measure the quilt for batting and backing. Miss Sophie decides she wants to play with it. She was climbing under it and playing. So, I had to measure somewhere where she wouldn't get to it.
It turned out, my days was more of "oops" than anything else, so I wasn't in the mood for Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
