Busy Summer Start

The last week has been very busy.  My first unscheduled week at home, my first summer not having to work, my first summer preparing to return to school with a new class that I actually want to teach and my first summer preparing the house for a little Lilley.

The quilt is almost ready for binding, just a little more quilting left to do.  The "hard" quilting is done, now it's just long lines.  I have decided that this time around I am going to bind the quilt the "right" way, machining the binding onto the quilt, then hand stitching it together. 

With my newfound time a lot has been accomplished, the quilt being one of the biggest, but also preparing quite a bit of the meal for the Fourth, baking bread, lots of laundry and cleaning, and a trip to have blood drawn for my glucose screen.  There are so many recipes that I want to try, so much school work that I need to get done, and I am realizing how quickly my summer is coming to a close.

Today's baking endeavors include chocolate chocolate chip zucchini bread made with local zucchini and mock Olive Garden breadsticks.  Not to mention eggplant parm also made from local produce.
