Pinwheels....

That's a few of them. Just some fat quarter and muslin. I love muslin, by the way. Just gives quilts that "old time" look to me. I'm sure after a while, I'll get tired of it, but it's also good for the practice I sure do need. I've got about 12 of them done so far and I would like to rotate them with some nine patches, but then there's the math to consider.....LOL The finished pinwheels came out 10.5 inches...sooo....ok...not ready for math today. I'll have to sit down and think it through. I didn't sleep well again last night. I seem to do most of my "thinkin" at night. Been that way for about 10 years. Lack of sleep causes many problems most people don't consider. It's not only the tired feeling all the time, but also it causes weight gain.....ugh.....the dreaded weight gain. I was, over the years on a lot of meds for this, and I do mean a LOT of meds. They helped me sleep, but it's just not the same kind of sleep and they also cause weight gain, and unclear head during the day...more of the same issues as not sleeping. So....what I do now is, every three or four nights, I take a couple of OTC non aspirin sleep pills. They do the trick and although I don't feel fabulous the next morning, I do feel better.


I was sooooo domestic yesterday. I even made homemade, and by homemade I mean bread machine, raisin oat bread. It's a pretty heavy bread, but my daughter loves it for breakfast and it was still warm in the machine this morning. Sometimes it takes so little to make 'em happy. Garry does not eat bread. He just doesn't care for most breads. The one bread he does like is Johnny Cake...ya know...sweet cornbread. I also make a single layer white cake, chocolate frosting of course. I have the bread machine going again today, making some dough for rolls for dinner tonight. Company coming....fried chicken, mashed taters, gravy, salad and a veggie...undecided what veggie..... and speaking of weight gain....ahahhahhahaaaa...... Ok...I was raised by southern people. Frying is what I learned, but actually I cheat. I fry it in good oil just until it's "purty" and then I move it to baking racks and bake it till it's done. Most of the grease bakes out into the pan and then I don't feel quite so bad about fixing it. And...I don't do it often. Well....time for some sewing...a few more pinwheels and then the math part......
Have a fabulous Friday....Yipppeeeee......Friday!!!!!!!!
