Wishes Granted?

As I mentioned earlier I bid on three listings this week that I wish I could own but that are likely going to be grabbed up by others. I loved this quilt the moment I saw it, so I bid with my maximum upfront in hopes that I might win it. Alas, I didn't. The bidders swarmed and the quilt ended up selling for $119.88

This gorgeous chest of Madeira thread that I already knew I wouldn't win finally went for a whopping $182.31. In the end I was glad I didn't win it because the thread is actually rayon and not silk like I thought.

Finally, did I win this immaculate-looking sewing machine? I sure did! I had only one challenger, and they dropped out right away, so I got it under my max bid amount. I'll tell you more when it arrives, but one wish out of three is great!

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
