a few low days

I've spent the last several days in a lethargic state due to a small medication adjustment. I'm very sensitive and it takes me a bit of time to get going again. I'm back today to as close to normal as I'm going to get.
One thing that got me quite excited to day was that I got my orange zigzag quilt back from the machine quilter. I love the pattern she used for the edge to edge quilting! Now I just have to cut and sew the binding which I haven't chosen yet.

Anytime I come across something new (to me), I like to share. Recently, I read an article about the cancer causing chemicals that are present on the lining of microwave popcorn bags. A suggestion for an alternative was to buy bulk popcorn kernels, add a small bit of olive oil, perhaps some salt, and put it into a regular brown bag to pop in the microwave. I had my doubts, as I could picture the bag opening and the popcorn going everywhere, but it did not and it popped perfectly. I simply folded the bag over a few times. I used to have a hot air popper but haven't found another one. This is a pretty good alternative, and it is cheaper than the store bought version too.

I'm almost finished my little truck hanging, but in the meantime I have finished knitting these yoga socks and tried them out a few times. They work very well. Now my husband wants  a pair.

Last but not least, is this quilted bag that I purchased from
Wanda at Exuberant Color.I love it. She also very generously stuffed it with
some Kaffe Fassett fabric bits that I can use in my Cobblestones blocks.
Quilters and artists are so generous!
