Flying Goose and Fried Things

 Well, I made my first flying goose this week.

I actually made 12. And let me tell you, these flying geese make me happy!

No, I didn't go hunting or cook a crazy dish.

The flying goose is a technique we learned in quilting class this past week.

It's a trick in quilting. It looks like you made triangles but really it's all squares! Tricky, tricky.

Yeah- flying goose. Pretty cool. 

Here is my first block. There are four flying geese in this pic and they all match great.

I'm so proud.

But I'm even prouder of my pinwheel! 

It matched up, it matched up...did I mentioned it matched up!!! :)

This quilting thing is my new love, besides Chad, chocolate, Georgia, chocolate...

Anyway, I'm really enjoying it. I love the class and the 45 min. drive doesn't even phase me.

In other news, food news, I have gotten really, like really, good at frying stuff.

Chicken is my specialty. 

Tonight I made Chicken Fried Steak from The Pioneer Woman.

This is her picture from her website but mine looked just like it!

It was delicious. :) Click here for the recipe.

And this morning for breakfast, I made my grandma's drop donuts.

Basically fried dough with powdered sugar icing on top. Totally healthy!

Hey, my arteries might not like my new frying talent but my stomach does. (And Chad's too!)

Check out my newest purchase for our house.

This awesome basket. From where, you ask? IKEA!

I made my first trek through Ikea this past weekend.

My life has been changed. 

so. many. ideas. 

My mind was blown.

But happy to say, after miles of walking through Ikea I only walked out with this awesome basket.

I plan to put my quilt in this basket once it's finished.

Here is my cute, fluffy, in desperate need of a haircut, running partner!

Georgia loves running with me now. 

In fact, she now knows when I put on my shoes it means "run" and begins her happy prance and the annoying trick of getting her leash, then dropping it my lap.

We learned last week Georgia does have a limit. We tried to run 4 miles last week but she was done at 3.5- poor pooch!

She is really the best though, fluffy hair and all.

Well folks, that's about it with the Pac's.

Hockey season has started. Oh you didn't know? Well, it has and I now have one very happy husband, who looks extra cute in his Dallas Stars jersey. :)

Over and out, y'all!
