After I made a little blender breakfast, I headed right into my craft room to get some sewing done. I didn’t dare turn on the TV or computer for fear that I would lose precious sewing time. I also had plans to watch the SuperBowl in the afternoon, even though I don’t really like or understand the rules of football. I watch it just about every year and mostly just to see guys getting tackled. I like contact sports, I guess.

…and I don’t really care about Valentines Day, but for some reason, I do like hearts. Oh wait. I love chocolate and that’s very Valentines Day-ish. Other than that…I’d rather stay home and watch movies, edit photos or blog. Last time I got my hair cut, the hairdresser asked me, “How do you wear your hair when you go out?”. I was stumped because I couldn’t remember the last time I went out anywhere where it mattered, unless Quilting Bee counts. Nah. They don’t care. OR DO THEY?

YES! It was Saturday…I had no plans except to sleep in (check!) make some more blocks (check!) and make some kind of treat. I made some parsnip soup a couple of days ago – I can hear my sister gagging from here – but it was delicious! I made a little rice and soup for dinner and then vegan gingerbread cookies for dessert.
I followed his video recipe, and I must admit, I was a little leery. There’s hardly any ingredients in the recipe and 1/2 a cup of maple syrup? How is this going to work? Also, you only bake them for 5 minutes. I wasn’t expecting it to work, but I was very, very wrong.

I am making progress! And some success! These squares are actually 10 inches by 10 inches – I checked and double checked. Hooray! I can cut paper and fabric into 10 inch squares. I can’t remember feeling prouder. I haven’t stuck with my 2 squares per day, but I will get back on track. I had to watch the HBO show tonight about the Rangers and Flyers. I love seeing the teams get prepared and seeing how they interact with each other when they’re not playing hockey. But not to worry, even though I did laugh at the Ranger’s coach a couple of times – I don’t think he meant to be funny, but he was – Sean Avery didn’t come across as being any different than the way he plays hockey, or when he’s making tacky comments on the news. And I’ll leave it at that. Not. Nice.
