Random 5 Friday....

Friday again!! I'm Linking with A Rural Journal... for Randon 5 Friday...

1. So do you think of Friday as the end of the week....or the beginning of the Weekend?

 2. This week...has been a busy 'social life' week....is it just me...or do you have weeks that you never seem to get together with people...then other weeks... it never stops?

  3. I took my car in for an oil change this week... I had an appointment at 2:00 pm.... I'm usually waiting 40 minutes...Two and a half hours later.... they had finally finished....would of you been impatient? I'm getting better at taking it as it comes...

4.  Driving the car home....by the time I got home the car was sputtering...something was wrong...
To make a long story short...they had washed the engine and got water in spots it shouldn't of been and the car needed new spark plugs and spark plug wires....

5. Went shopping and out for lunch with my sister this week....
We had a beautiful time. I even bought some beautiful clothes!

T-Shirt Quilt...

A few years back I had heard about the T-Shirt Quilt....
I thought they would make nice keepsakes.
My grandma had made me a quilt out of scraps of clothing.... when my granddaughter saw it and I told her about the different cloths and what they use to be...she asked if I would make her a quilt like that....
I thought the t-shirt quilt would be a great memory quilt for the boys...
I was given some 'special shirts' to make one up

I looked online to see the "how to's.... and proceeded to cut the T'shirts apart. 

I ironed on a light weight interfacing to keep the knit from stretching...

We went with an informal pattern...so the squares were laid out and scraps of t-shirt were used to fill in missing holes in the quilt. Then all the pieces were sewn together.

The 'quilt' was wanted for more of a throw so a lightweight cordury backing was used without any batting.

Matching binding was sewing on.

And here is it the finished T-shirt Quilt finished

Miscellany Monday

Another Monday Morning.... and I'm linking with carissa at lowercase letters

Friday night I picked up these tulips...

Little by little you could almost watch...

Slowly open... On Sunday...they looked like this!

Do you paint you fingernails??
I find my hands are in so much hot water it's not worth it...
but I had a few minutes this weekend so I took the time to paint them up...

Baked up some Eatmore bars...

Melt 1/4 cup butter, 1 bag of marshmellows, 1 Pkg of chocolate chips,
When melted add 1 tsp. vanilla..

Stir in 1 cup peanuts, 3 cups of Rice Krispies...
Put into at 9 x 12 pan (spray it with cooking oil)
Cool in fridge.

You will probably want to EATMORE of them!
Hope your week goes well!!

I am linking with Nancy at A Rural Journal

1. Over all the weather has been beautiful this week.
A few cool windy days...but I am enjoying the spring weather so much!!

 

2. Did some sewing this week... tried making a Tulle skirt for a little girl..

3. I have this old lamp...I found in a Antique Shop....
...its one of those purchases...you're glad you made!

 4. I tried a new Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe this week...
It is delicious...
It has oatmeal, chocolate chips and toffee bits it in...the bad thing is it is hard to stop eating them...

5. I found out this week...that the Rutherford Museum Tea House has shut down....
It is so sad...it was such a beautiful place to visit and have a delicious lunch!!
We will miss it
