Cupcake Mix Recipe


My add-on project for the next month or so won't be a hand project after all, but a table runner using a Cup Cake Recipe.  Without getting all technical, it uses a patterned charm pack, a solid charm pack, and little papers that show you where to sew and cut.  Pretty mindless, as long as you pay attention to the sewing and cutting lines.

A charm pack, by the way, is stack of 42 5" fabric squares.  People enjoy them because they usually have all the fabrics in a design collection in an inexpensive format.

I'm realizing that I didn't show you the beaded snowman I finished, so it will show up one of these days.  It's pretty boring, actually.

The delayed Kentucky primary election was today and it looks like we will set a record for voter turnout in a primary election in the state.  A few things could have gone better, but overall it was ok.  There were a huge number of the no-excuse absentee ballots requested and returned.  No excuse means just that - a voter could request a ballot without having an excuse like being sick or out of town.

We also had early in-person voting as an option, and people who didn't want to mail absentee ballots could drop them off.  Not much of complain about, but some people missed the news that they wouldn't vote in their usual precinct.  In our two largest precinct there were lines.  But still, excellent turn-out with the coronavirus in the background.
