Evening Mug 5
OK…so the numbers don’t quite jive. This is the first evening mug, but the fifth mug. Oh well!I LOVE the home-y-ness of this mug, which I’ve had about 10 years or so. Bought what was nearly a decade’s supply of Sleepytime tea to get the mug with it. It reads on the back “Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea.” Hear, hear!
And I promise I’ll get back to quilting. Probably after the week, since it is National Over-eaters Celebration. And I promised Eli to make him a pillowcase. And I’m making (gag, but …) holiday placemats. And I ran out of red thread and had to order more. Bummer. So I’ll work on the autumn ones, now that autumn is almost over (but I didn’t get the needed remaining fabric until today). And to complete this scene of domesticity, after 22 years with the world’s ugliest Christmas tree skirt—which I made in 1983 of pre-quilted cotton-poly fabric–I may even finally use some of that decade-old Christmas fabric in my stash and make a new tree skirt………
Then when the kids are blessedly in school for three weeks before the next onslaught, I’ll start on my Tableaux quilt…more on that anon.
And happy mashed potatoes and gravy to all!
