Happy Easter...

I am stopping by to tell you all Happy Easter...



Take a look what my mom did with my nephews. I just love it. My sister, Ajka, blogged about it here. She made a lot more Easter crafts and baking.
My Easter decor is a simple vase of daffodils.:(
I am overwhelmed with deadlines for papers, projects and three exams next week. Oh well, life can't be all fun and sewing, right? Even though, that is what I dream about every night. :)
Couple nights ago I work on more of my scrappy log cabin blocks. Here you can see the progress.




I took another look on my list of unfinished projects and on the calendar. I am not sure really how much I can actually get done. I have to ask Jacquie if finished quilt tops sandwich awaiting quilting will count. :)
I guess, I just need to be more optimistic...

Happy Easter!

I probably won't be here until after.

P.S.: I almost forgot, check out this giveaway for the chance to win 30 fat quarters.

The two cornish hens...

I hope all of you had a great holidays in case you celebrated. We don't really celebrate it, but since we live in the U.S. we get kind of sucked in. I don't mind Thanksgiving because I really like the purpose of the holiday- eating- no I am just kidding. I think it is important to stop at least once a year, look back and give thanks. In Slovakia, we kind of do this on the New Years Eve (Silvester).



We all get a turkey at work from my two bosses. Last year I asked for two cornish hens instead. We are not too crazy about turkey at my house, so I felt like it would be a waste. In the past, I gave our turkey to the friends. I got my two cornish hens this year as well. The two cornish hens are perfect for us. Years ago, I found a simple and very tasteful recipe somewhere online (sorry don't have a link, it was seriously about 5-6 years ago). The whole recipe is very simple. It is cornish hen with sage and lemon. You melt the butter with dried sage and spread it with your hands all over the hen, also in between skin and meat. You stuffed cornish hen with more dried sage (you can also use fresh sage) and lemon. Bake and that's it!
For the side I used stuffing recipe from years ago too, but very similar to this except the brandy. It was just two of us since I was sick like a dog, but we had a nice day.



I had a lot of crafting plans for this prolonged weekend, but this time it was never ending flu that got in my way. I did some sewing anyway, but not even close to what I had planned.
I decided that since it is only about two weeks until I go home, I really need to focus on everything else that needs to get done. For some unexplained reason I am extremally stressed out about the whole thing. I need to put myself together somehow. Sigh.....



Also, I just recently joined a number 3 group of Sew Craft Blog. I like the idea of meeting new blogers. You can find links to the blogs in my group on the sidebar.

P.S.: On the pictures:

Two pillows to match the quilt - in works.
Will post more later.
