Salad...yummy

Leah makes great salads so I asked her the other day what she put in hers. Base is spinach, then onion, radish, carrot, feta cheese, chicken, plus Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette. I tried my hand at it this week and here is the result. It was fabulous. I used her little trick of buying a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Thanks Leah!

Tall cool drink...ahhhhh
Today I was able to walk around Wells Lake twice. Afterwards, it was so hot, I went straight to Sonic and got a Cherry Dt. Dr. Pepper with a lemon. So refreshing!

Cat with vase

I have been working on a quilt with muted shades of golds, browns, greens, and blues. You can see a small bit of some of the blocks on my design board. To balance things out (yin/yang) I decided I would use shades of pinks and purples in my next quilt. And instead of piecing squares together, I would use an applique technique (cut a background fabric and sew shapes on top). So, I cut out the cat and vase you see here with my rotary cutter. I'm into precision (rulers rule) so doing it this way was new for me, but I'm glad I got outside of my usual approach. I'm pleased with it so far.
