- Stop at the Thimble Box in New Ulm today
- Sew more noodles together
I haven't been to the Thimble Box in years, but I have to drive through New Ulm today so will see if they are open. I am heading to Danube MN to pick up half a beef. Remember my friend Sally? She and I split a beef. It is all packaged up and froze, ready to go in our freezers.
I have had much "Mason time", but can't remember to take the camera out. I did catch him while he was eating.
Eating his favorite food, macaroni and cheese. And while I was home I got out a pan for Shamus to take a bath.
He doesn't look very big--but that pan is a 10 inch cake pan. He is about the size of a pigeon, but very long wings and tail. All the papers at the bottom of his cage are wet, he was splashing away.
And for everyone who wrote me offering their scraps--thank you! Yes, I love picking through scraps! My friend Henrietta would like me to make a postage stamp quilt. Uhh--No way!

What is it about mac & cheese and kids? My grandchildren like the microwave kind.
I always get a kick out of seeing birds taking baths in puddles after a good rain. Maybe I can think more kindly about the potholes in my street if I think of them as bird baths.
I have a copy paper box of scraps that need to be cut into usable squares. Might be a good project this winter if I can stay off the computer or keep my nose out of a book long enough.
Oh your freezer must be huge! I remember the walk in Lucy and Ethel go when they 'saved money' getting a whole cow. How much space will your half a cow take up?
I had fun reading your goals for today - you sound really organized.
But the real reason I thought to leave is note is you are the first blog where the photo is of feet - I did that for my photo too!
: )
Big stamps! I am thinking an Irish Chain out of 30's fabrics is in my future if I live long enough.
Love the Shamus picture! And of course, stopping at a quilt shop would be necessary!! lol
love the pic of Shamus.....
Shamus looks as if he's having a good time! I always enjoy watching birds fluttering around in our birdbath.
I decided long ago that I'd like to do a postage stamp quilt, so have been saving 1 1/2" squares for a while. Now and then I pare a few together but that's one of those quilts you have to decide to take your time on. It would drive me crazy to do it all at once!
