Did you hear about the woman that died from eating cauliflower?

“Yes, but she was highly allergic and didn’t know it.  You’re not allergic.”

What about her husband.  He wasn’t allergic.

“No, he wasn’t allergic.  He drove his wife to the hospital and after he dropped her off and parked the car, he stepped in front of a bus”

What about their daughter?

“Fell in the pool and drowned.”

And, her mother in law?  She ate the cauliflower.

“Heart attack when she heard about the accident.”

And, her three brothers?  They all died after the cauliflower.

“Unfortunate fire at the funeral home.  Now eat your cauliflower”

Okay, seriously, this conversation did happen at my dinner table last night.  I love my kid’s sense of humor.  I’m still laughing at that.  She just came in and read the title of this post over my shoulder and said “you know that isn’t true, right?”

Unfortunately, just as we were going to bed last night, Rob asked me for a different set of vege than I’ve been feeding lately…and it didn’t include either cauliflower, broccoli, or brussels sprouts.

As it is spoken, so it is done.

Who else got up this morning and made a few of Bonnie’s Clue three before work?

I knew I was in trouble when I saw the clue this morning.

Okay, so Rob got up to fix the coffee, I rolled over in bed and fired up the iphone and read the clue before I ever got up. 

Does that sound anxious?

All my turquoise is cut in two inch strips.  Most of it anyway.

I did manage to find a few bits and pieces and a little yardage, so I’m going to be fine, but I’m leaning a fraction more blue than green in the turquoise.

My other option was to pick one of the pieces of yardage and use it throughout, but I don’t think I want to do that.  I think I’d rather use up all these scraps and put the yardage in something else.

Now, what I can’t figure is why I’m still having to sliver trim.  I’ve checked my seam allowance twice and checked my cutting twice and I’ve made sure I’m using my easy angle ruler right, but everything is just a hair bigger than it needs to be. 

I spent all of family time last night with a cutting board and a rotary cutter on my lap, while I sat on the sofa and watched TV and made sure no dogs came and sniffed anywhere near that rotating razor blade.

But, that finished up clue 2, so I was completely ready this morning. 

Be well, have a great Friday.  What do you plan on working on this weekend?  I need to finish the borders on that baby quilt and if I’m going to do ANY christmas sewing, I have to do it NOW. 

I’m paying Sydney to rake the leaves in the back yard and put them in my flower beds.  Child labor laws be damned!
