Newest Arrival

Today my August Doll Quilt arrived. My partner missed part of the street in my address when she send the first quilt. So it never arrived here and she generously offered to make another one.
Which arrived some time during the weekend - I jsut found the notice card to pick it up this afternoon (hence then "in the dark" pictures). Well I like it very much, freash summery colours for a dark time.

And hehe yes there are some nerds - I blame Dawn, she send some of them when the DQ-Swap started, and I sort of like them a great deal. They just taste like nothing I get here. Ehh I just need to figure out how to open the box.

Ohh and of course I had a wonderful time at home ... doing a photo shooting with the (can I still call it) birhtday kid in the garden - ehh yes before the serious work began, there is no earth on the quilt:

And now the reason why I constantly complain about the lack of mountains in the area I live in at the moment

... aye that was something I should have done trying out the "Kool-Aid" unsweetened soft drink mix today. I do NOT blame Dawn who send it to me representing "real US sweet things". I entierly blame myself and my looks like "Ahoi-Brause" probably gets prepared the same way.

Anyone of you whoe doesn't know "Kool-Aid" it's basicly citric acid (the stuff you use to descale pots and the shower) .. ehhm anyway to get to the point. 

 

I innocently poured the content of the package into a glass filled it up with water and took a sip, just expecting it to be a little sour and sweet and probably strawberry/cherry/raspberry tasty-ish judging from the colour. That was one terribly big huge mistake. 

So after I went through that experience I first drank a lot more plain water just to get some sort of feeling back. And then I look on the package, and ohh yes on the back there it says:
Serv 1/8 package (0.9g) (makes 8 fl oz) Servings 8

Aye I better should have red that strange American decieving wrapping before I tried it out and not just assumed  ... 

 

Deciding that I needed some positive experience after that sour shock I went into town and raided the library. I have enough CDs, DVDs and books for the next few weeks and only 7 days before I have to bring them back.

busy busy evenings

Ladies Night was yesterdays distraction - that was one yummmm reason not to touch the sewing needle. Today it was a work reason - shortly before I was ready to go home we got a new pile of things that just had to be done by end of the day ... so of course I stayed.
