I know, I know, Valentine's day was over a week ago but I'm still playing catch up. I like to still write the posts even if I don't get them up until a little later. Ryan and I don't really do cards or gifts for each other except for maybe something small. I got Ryan TWO bags of starburst jellybeans - I probably should have gotten him an extra toothbrush too lol. And for me, he stopped on his way home at Downtown Produce ( a local meats and produce place) and got us two thick steaks, some huge sea scallops and giant potatoes to bake. When I got home, he had this delicious dinner waiting for me:
After dinner, we watched some more TV - we've been watching the TV series Merlin on Netflix. While we were watching the show, Ryan was playing on the computer but I was sewing. I had to get ready to go to the Alpha Phi regional conference and I figured "what better way to get in the spirit than to make an awesome tote bag to take with me?". Buying a new Alpha Phi tote would have probably cost me at least $30 but instead I spent about $10 to get an awesome tote that is exactly what I wanted and has pockets for all my stuff, plus a zipper closure!
I am a part time quilter, full time engineer and hope to one day become a full time quilter. Feel free to read along as I explore quilting, cooking and anything else that strikes my fancy.
