I finished the quilt that I was making for a nephew to be, finally! After washing it, I was hanging it on the clothes line, when I saw that one little seam didn't get sewn. So, after the quilt was dry, I grabbed the quilt and gave a quick zig zag stitch to mend the flaw. I really do love my new sewing machine, I must say. I am able to get so many projects done faster with this machine. 
The other day, I made oatmeal raspberry scones. The raspberries came from the backyard garden. I had never made these kind of scones before, but since we've had such a great harvest, so far, I thought I'd experiment. When raspberries bake in an oven, the juices start to flow and the most fantastic smells drift out of the oven. My nephews visited this weekend, and long story short, once they discovered Auntie's scones, they Houdini'd the pastries.
Now, I have more time to develop other projects. School will be starting at the end of the month. So, I am beginning to prepare now. I bought an old waffle iron at the thrift store this weekend. It's great, it makes four rectangular waffles which are a perfect fit for the toaster. The irons can be reversed and the other side is flat- which can be used as a griddle. I went on line and found a recipe for multigrain waffles. I made an experimental batch. They were great. The idea is that on Saturdays, I make a large batch of waffles and freeze them. Then, throughout the week, I can grab a few from the freezer and toast them for breakfast. This will provide a filling, yet, wholesome breakfast that won't take any time to make. Effective time management in the mornings during the school year is crucial. If I start my day in a stress- filled frenzy, the rest of my day will be a mess. So, this is very helpful. I have started another experiment, which I'll detail at another time. Until then~ Toodaloo!
