Great description of music . . .

Music washes away from the soul
the dust of everyday life. - Berthold Auerbach

Causes one a reflective moment . . .

Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

- T. S. Eliot

Horses . . .

 I'm not a fan or horses but my daughter requested one for a friend and I actually enjoyed tackling the fabric and dealing with a horse print, too. It is another one on my pending completion pile and I hope to put it on the road to 'doneness' soon.

Finishing up quilts . . .

 Yesterday, I went through my quilt tops and made plans to finally get them all finished before I begin any new projects. I tend to enjoy the designing stage more than the finishing aspects. This print is one of my favorites and I've made two or three quilts using it. The colors are so bright and varied that you can use a variety of borders and it will emphasize a different aspect of the print depending on the chosen color.

How Dinner Came to be . . .

 Since we found a great Asian market that carries all the ingredients we need for special recipes, we decided to have a weekend of Chinese food. Last night, it was Spicy Chicken Thighs, Sweet Potatoes with Soy Sauce/Ginger, with Jasmine Rice. I've discovered, over the years, that cooking Asian food is relatively simple if you get all your ingredients chopped, diced, and at hand before you start cooking. Nothing worse than to watch your meat or vegetables overcook while you quickly locate a forgotten item and try to chop it quickly. As you can see, I plan ahead these days.
