I started the week off busy and productive. Monday I did some things around the house and made a mushroom filled dinner. Yep, they were on sale at the grocery store and I picked up 2 packages before I even thought of what to do with them. So I jumped head first into cream of mushroom soup and stuffed mushrooms. I never realized how easy it is to make cream of mushroom soup and how much better it tastes then from the can. Poor Joel is not a fan of soup or mushrooms but he powered through. I didn't make him take any for lunch the next day because I am nice like that. Here are some pictures of my work, my oh so tasty work.

Last week at sewing we had a visitor and an additional student. The visitor was the woman that started the quilting group. Her name is Ruth and she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I learned so much from her in the few minutes I spoke with her. Her husband was one of Joel's favourite professors but they are now living on Statia. We also had Lauren come to learn a thing or two because she had a week off work. Her mother-in-law got her started on a quilt before she came so she came to hang out with us and get a little help. When sewing was all said and done Lauren came back to my place for lunch and to sit around the pool and teach me a little about blogging. I have not had time to work on any of the things she showed me yet but maybe by the end of the week. I had fun anyways and it looked a little like this. The picture is a little sun drenched but if you can see we have our matching macbooks and we are hard at work. 



Also this week I went and watched Joel play indoor soccer. It looked like it was so much fun I might even join in next time. Plus I like running on flat surfaces so that will be my only chance. Today I signed up for my Scuba certification class so I should be certified by the end of the month. I have my books so I will be doing some studying along with Joel this time. And last but not least..... my fabric came in today!!!! I was sooo excited! I still haven't seen it but I will be at sewing bright and early tomorrow so I can get started on my quilt. I know, little things amuse me but I have never bought fabric for anything before. 

I am off to go cook dinner because I ran out of gas down here so I will head up and get it all done before the crowd comes home. Don't tell Joel but it is a surprise dinner, Sloppy Joe's! He doesn't get a lot of meat so I am sure he will be thrilled. I hope everyone has a fantastic week and if any of you see Amy Harris (Enns) give her a birthday hug for me!
