Thank you Michele for this super-fabulous-one-of-a-kind-upcycled-denim-sunshiney-pin-cushion. I absolutely LOVE it! You also get a prize for world's tiniest, most adorable handwriting. You caught me just in time, by next week I might not have been able to read it the way things are going with my close-range vision!
Check out Michele's blog. She's on a roll lately with all things tiny and inspiring. That girl is gonna put me in progressive lenses any day now.
Tomorrow is a retreat day for the VMQG gals and a few other friends who will join us. The day before retreats, I am a multi-tasking fiend. So far I've made (since waking up this morning): spinach lasagne, turkey shepherd's pie, fresh salsa, two salad dressings, Southwest quinoa salad, garlic bread and a delicious latte (for immediate consumption - everything else is for tomorrow). Yesterday was baking day: orange Nanaimo bars (we're close enough to Hallowe'en for those), brownies and butterscotch oat cookies (recipe here, thanks e they are divine!).
No one is going hungry on my watch.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. The autumn sun is shining!!

I knew I'd be missing out on sewing and socializing by staying home from tomorrow's retreat, but now I know exactly what delicious food I'm missing too! It's tough, but I'll just have to live vicariously through those of you who are getting together tomorrow. Have a great time!
super cute pinnie! and after reading what we're getting tomorrow, I just might pass on dinner and breakfast! Can't wait to try it all - and I'll have some for you, too Holly!
The pin cushion is adorable and I would totally recommend laser eye surgery over progressives for your oh so very old eyes...NOT!! (old that is - I hold to the recommendation, LES is the bomb)
And I have one little question...Is November 4th close enough to Halloween to qualify for orange nanaimo bars? They sound too yummy!!!
Great pillow...have fun on the retreat. Your menu sounds great!
Have fun at your retreat, I hope you'll not be too exhausted to enjoy yourself!
