Well, woke up about 730am and was AWAKE. So, I fed the girls and started a set of bacon cause I was thinking breakfast burritos. Can I say again how much I luv doing bacon on the george foreman? Seriously...its great. I made coffee and got my eggs going when mel walked in sleepy-eyed. He'd been escaping the Obsidian Snuggle Attack and was most pleased to be handed a breakfast burrito and a cup of coffeee. I made my burrito and then we watched a show on The Real Gangs of New York, its amazing what they don't teach you in history class, seriously. Then I got into grubbies and started in on cleaning up the house. I managed to get everything done, including vacuuming and straightening 2 rooms that were disastors in about 1.5 hours. Yeah! Richard also helped by getting a few things out to the shop for me, including finally putting the boot on the trailer. It works great.
The Henkle Horde descended, with Meg follwoing and we spent the afternoon watching movies, and me having issues with fabric. I had to iron almost 10 yards of silk..ugh, I really, really hate ironing. But we did manage to get shalwar and a tunic cut out for me. I plan on finishing sewing those this afternoon and getting my middle coat cut out. I have the house clean except some touchup in the kitchen and bathrooms so I should have plenty of time. Mel got home and the plan was to watch Beowulf and Grendel at meg and walricks (though she and I had seen most of it already that day). Movie was good, I finally almost finished my blue dress that most of you have seen hanging in the craft room almost finished. I just need to piece in a small piece of trim and its done! Yeah! Next will be the green dress, it needs trim.
Oh, and for those that requested it, ( The Cheese Recipe )
