OMG and Scrap Happy Just Past Saturday

June flew by for me as things around here opened up it seems like life got back to somewhat normal which meant that not a lot of sewing got done for me.  Plus it has been super hot and I don't have a/c so sewing takes a bit of a back seat.

My OMG goal for June was to deconstruct one of my cake blocks as I hit my ribbon with a hot iron and it melted--visions of the Wizard of Oz popped into my mind.  I did meet that particular goal; however, I did not get the borders on the quilt top.  I think I figured out what I am going to do for the borders so that counts in my book as a win.

I love pink and was so happy to see it appear in June for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and then I didn't get hardly anything done.  One pink flower and one pink basket and that is it!

I don't know if I will ever get back to France so I decided to bring it to me and try my hand at making some Cannele de Bordeaux.  Last year we made some in the Buttercream & Olive Oil class I took but I never tried to make them at home.  I decided to use a recipe from Jill Colonna in the her book Teatime in Paris!.  Jill has a wonderful blog with lots of recipes and she can be found at Mad About Macrarons. 

On my forth attempt I think I finally got my technique worked out.  Boy are they yummy although my husband can't figure out what the big deal is, lol!  I should have taken photos of my failed attempts but you know how that goes.

Yummy goodness is all I can say! 

Because it has been one of those months, and the last day of June, I am linking up with everyone at OMG-Elm Street Quilts and Scrap Happy Saturday.

OMG June Goal--No Big Surprise

It shouldn't be a big surprise that my June goal is to fix my chocolate cake since I melted the ribbon trim with the iron.  I hope to get those borders on too especially while I am aware that I really need to be careful operating heavy equipment. 

Linking up with everyone at Elm Street Quilts for the June goal setting. 

Cheers!
