OPERATION BEIGE QUILT, A BEE STING, AND A CLASSIC {MY WEEKEND RECAP}

My weekend recap begins like this:

I asked Not-So-Little-Person what he wanted to do

& surprise, surprise,

he wanted to go to the pool! Again.

That was fine by me because

my other option was to stay

home and help Hubby trim the bushes that I had been

complaining about.

So off to the pool we went.

While we were there,

Not-So-Little-Person comes up to me and CALMLY says

"I think I bee just stung me."

Then he holds up his finger that is now swollen to the size of his BIG toe.

Nothing that a little first aid & Benadryl couldn't fix.

When we got home, guess who was still working in the yard?

After working in the yard for about 4 hours,

Hubby came in tired as an ox...maybe a little heat exhaustion as well.

See...I made the right choice.

Fortunately for me, they were exhausted and they passed out early.

Score...uninterrupted sewing time!

Here is the classic part of the post.

Last week Ree of Pioneer Woman posted a Sixteen Candles Quiz/Giveaway on her blog.

(yep, I took the quiz and scored 100%!)

So I love this movie! 

Not to mention that I was going to marry Jake Ryan!

Sorry Hubby, but it was 1984 & I was going to marry

Jake Ryan...or Tom Cruise...or John Stamos!

When I sat down to start sewing,

I noticed that

Sixteen Candles was going to be starting in 15 minutes.

Amen!

Then I noticed that The Breakfast Club was going to be 

coming on after that!

Double Amen!

Finally I got my sewing grove on

and did some serious chain piecing:

only stopping

at the critical parts in the movie 

when  Jake Ryan came on the screen!

or to refill my Diet Pepsi.

I even did more cutting:

Cautiously so I wouldn't cut too many squares again

or my finger!

Thanks to the bee sting, heat exhaustion, and Sixteen Candles,

I was able to get all  156 blocks made.

All I have to do is commit to the final block placement

and I will be ready to sew those bad boys together.
