Hodge Podge Post

Sometimes we have what I call "hodge podge" lunch/dinner in our house.  Basically I fish out a bunch of leftovers, slap them together and create a meal.  It's like having a 7-course meal!  I have to admit, sometimes it gets kind of weird.....like a fruit/veggie/flax smoothie, a bite of pad thai, a fried egg, some miso soup, and half a chicken salad sandwich.  I kid you not, this is literally what I ate for lunch today.  It's a good thing I have a husband that is willing to eat leftovers!

Anyway, now that you've seen a glimpse of my diet, here's a "hodge podge" post of the last couple of weeks.

I went to check out the International quilt festival in downtown Houston and had a great time looking and shopping.  I was pretty much the youngest person in there by 20 years.  Here were some of my favorites:

I think I'm starting to realize that I prefer modern quilts over traditional ones.


This is all done by hand....including the quilting.  RIDICULOUS!


Can you believe this is fabric? I can't believe someone created this with itty bitty pieces of fabric!
This one was one of the top prize winning pieces on display.


Seriously?


This was my personal favorite!  It's just awesome.

After viewing the quilts, I hit the market and bought some fabrics for my shop.  You can check out the new fabrics in my fabric album.  I only bought girl blanket fabrics, I promise I'll shop for some more boy fabrics soon!

I also got to attend the 6th birthday of one of my favorite kiddos.  His cool mom got a guy to come dressed as a storm trooper from Star Wars.  The kids loved it....so did I.  It was my job to photograph the kids with the storm trooper, so of course I had to jump in and get my pic too!

    

And finally, our little "family"(a bunch of friends I grew up in NJ who now live in Houston - yes, we call ourselves a "family") bought a package of tickets for Rockets games this season.  We got to go to the first home game of the season and welcomed Jeremy Lin in true Asian style.  There were so many Asians at the game....aSlik commented that he felt like he was back in China.  Unfortunately I didn't bring my real camera and even more unfortunately, the Rockets lost in overtime.  Oh well, maybe next time.

Next time, I'll remember to bring my real camera!
