An Early Day

I had a great afternoon - I puttered around in my sewing room and I made this cute block for the Sow-Along hosted by Randy at Barrister's Block. This cute block is called Union Square and although there are a lot of 1.5" pieces it wasn't too difficult to put together. I also worked on my 9-patch pink Project Linus quilt. I have finally trimmed it and added the label and machine stitched the binding to the front. Tonight I think I will take it easy and hand stitch the binding to the back. I don't think I will get it all done but we will see how far I get with it. I really do need to get some quilts out of my sewing room!

This morning I woke up at 4 am and was out of bed by 4:30 - what up with that?? I got busy pretty quickly and started baking while it was still fairly cool in the house. Yesterday, I had prepared the dough to make buns today and I baked one batch of 8. I also made a dozen banana/oatmeal muffins while I was at it. Earlier this afternoon I noticed that there were only 3 buns and 4 muffins left - someone must have been hungry - so I started another batch of dough for more buns. I will bake them tomorrow morning before I go to work.

I also spent a lovely morning out in the garden and transplanted lettuce, bok choy and tomatoes and I also planted beans. I thought I would be doing that yesterday, but instead I weeded the front flower beds and started planting flowers. I didn't get that task quite finished yesterday so I finished planting the flowers today. Once I got all that done it was way to hot for me outside and I needed to get in the house to cool down. Yes...we already have our air conditioning running...I just cannot take the heat at all! There is still a lot of planting that needs to be done but I figure it will happen over the next week.
