dinner and "afterdinner"

there was winter salad (common lamb's lettuce, avocado, boiled egg and roasted sunflower seeds) for dinner, o it was wonderful and all loved it with a simple balsamic dressing. there will be more tomorrow and the day after too.
it got better from then on, i have been sitting with the machine a bit the past few days and my hands have been digging through the bag with fabric scraps, finding the larger ones to come up with a random order of sewing them together. slowly but steadily there are longish "striped stripes" appearing, not really knowing what i'm ending up with likely a middle size quilted blanket... it's super rewarding to use up those wonderful big scraps and sometimes i through a piece of some newer fabric from my stack in the mix. i'm sure i will be able to tell you a bit more sometime in the future...
