I’ve been baking and cooking since eight this morning and I’m finally done. I made a lemon bundt cake, a chocolate bundt cake, gingersnap cookies and rice krispie squares. After those were done and packed up for Texada I cooked up a batch of rhubarb; sadly not from my garden but it came from somebody’s.

While I waited for things to bake I did dishes (in preparation for the next batch), sorted the recycle, and cleaned out the plant pots on the deck. I think I’ll fill some of the empty pots with petunias and snapdragons but that will wait for another day. I also fixed a wind chime that had broken during one of our winter storms.

I had to go out for rice krispies and marshmallows so I stopped at the fabric shop on the way. I ordered a pattern for a class that I’m taking later this month and it had arrived. I had a “frequent customer” discount card so it only cost me $1.10. I should have left immediately but we got talking and I told Deb of another pattern I was doing and we decided on some fabric. It will be a reverse appliqué project and the background will be the Paris skyline. I did a reverse appliqué once before and didn’t like it (I think Kathryn picked it off the wall last summer) but maybe this time I’ll be better at it!

I’m off now to sit and relax – possibly nap before an early bedtime. I’ll head over to Texada tomorrow morning. I’m not sure how long I’ll stay but likely until Monday.
