Another Orange Block

This one isn't completed yet.  I'm thinking this will be the "base" for something MORE.  I have no good ideas as yet, so it will wait for inspiration. Buttons didn't work. LOL. Yes, I do have a great deal of orange in my collection.  It's an amazing color.  Lights up with the addition of greens, golds or bright blues.  And that hot fuchsia is doing a number over in the right bottom corner.  I also noticed a preference (ha) for circles or other round things.

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my 12 by 12 Orange Reveal.  Made me very happy. i even bought two large, sweet carrots when I went to the grocery yesterday.  Not Atkins, but I wanted carrots in my salads this week.

Saturday.  And I am not working.  At work.  I am working here at home.  Tonight is Pizza Night so I have to pre bake the zucchini crust for my pizza.  The fridge is doing it's 24 hour thing with the Alton Brown dough for G's pie.  Worked much better in the mixer last night.  I wonder what I did wrong last time?

My daughter called early this morning to let me know her "very cute and charming" neighborhood is having a Block Garage Sale next weekend.  And my daughter wanted to know if I would like to share her yard (and the sale duties) with her.  If there are two of us, we can each "go shop" the other sales.  I think this is a fantastic opportunity for me to get rid of the large collection of baskets I have stored in the attic and  on top of the kitchen cabinets.  And the assorted knick knacks that one collects between house moves.

I am having serious allergy issues.  My nose is running and my eyes are itching and I am sneezing.  It could be the wood dust from the windows or transferred mold spores.  It could be anything. I am miserable. It doesn't help things to not be able to open those little foil packages the allergy pills come in.  I just had to attack the foil with a kitchen knife.  I am going to take two pills.  The worst that can happen is I will fall asleep and right now that would be better than being awake.  I am carrying a roll of heavy duty paper towels around with me for the runny nose.

Riley is being sort of patient.  He wants his walk.  I want to wait a bit longer.  It's like the OK Corral Stand Off here.  That dog can stare like nobody's business.  I intend to pre bake my zucchini crust and then go walking so the dog will have to stare me down for another hour.  By then the Benadryl should have kicked in.  I'm going to sign off now, wash my hands real good and then squeeze the water out of the grated zucchini and mix it with egg and cheese and get it into the oven.  Each time I make this crust I use a larger pan.  That's how much I like it.

Got to work tomorrow.  Hope I feel better.

  1. I hope you feel better too. I wonder if it isn't mold. My eyes were so bad yesterday that I couldn't stand leaving my glasses on since I wanted to scratch my own eyes out. Everything here is very wet since Irene came through and now the intense sun is making it into that lovely(not)moldy spore stuff that's flying around.

    I'm so happy you recieved such nice comments from some of the 12s on your work. A bit of validation is very good medicine...congrats.

    Shopping at the other tables at a garage sale is such fun sometimes-enjoy.

    LOVE that block but then what's not to love about orange.

  3. I just had a garage sale (it's a lot of work) and made enough money to purchase a lazy boy recliner. I got rid of the basket collection by putting them in a FREE box at the edge of the drive. It moved the baskets onward and drew people in. Once the baskets were gone, I kept adding various items to the box that were not selling. People will take anything that is free.
