My tired eyes

It's my fault! I stayed up till 2:30 this morning reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society that is on the best seller list. I'm not one to run out and buy a book because it's on such a list. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like it but since a wonderful friend recommended it, I figured I'd give it a try. After I got into it, I couldn't put it down. The author has a unique way to tell a story.


Today is a beautiful, sunny day here in Delaware so we were up and out early...we did a little model home viewing. We have done this for years even though we are not in the market for a new home. I love to see what's new and how the homes are decorated and it was an excuse to get out! On the way home, we did a little grocery shopping. I bought an acorn squash and am going to try a new recipe that uses canned apple pie filling when baking the squash....maybe, I said maybe, I can even get hubby to eat squash!




I have been working on the Sunbonnet Sue. I have the block and some of a border around it done. Check out the picture. I'm not sure what I will do after adding this border. I may add more. I'll wait and see and do some experimenting with the fabric since I am only using vintage "attic treasure' fabrics for the front. I would like to make the hanging bigger - If left as is, it will be about 18x18. Will have to see.
