Goofin' Off And a Bit of a Buckle

So it seems my mind has been buckling a bit lately. Now before you jump to any conclusions, let's just say there is more than one meaning of the word buckle.  Although the way I use the word doesn't really apply to any of the meanings I found on dictionary.com.  The slump on my mind had a slightly different definition.  But before I get too far into that, let's catch up on some projects.

I was finally able to get a picture of my finished Captain America quilt flimsy (quilt top for you non-quilters).  My boys were kind enough to let me borrow their handsome arms to hold it up for me...at least, as well as they could for a larger quilt top.  They are the best!

I think Mr. Goofin' Off and I will be happy to get this one on our bed soon.  Our current quilts are really beginning to fall apart.  Why is it that we quilters always make quilts for everyone else first?

Mr. Chef Freddie's Favorites quilt blocks are coming along.  I've begun assembling the first set of blocks.

I have also begun sewing the sub-units together for Blocks 2.  The block shapes themselves are the same, it's just that the blue fabric for Block 2 will be a different color.

I was able to sneak in about 400 stitches of Mickey and Pirate Friends cross stitch since my last update, so below is the latest.

Now back to buckle.  What thoughts have been buckling around me?  Am I having problems getting myself buckled into the new car?  Nope, not that kind of buckle, although losing a few pounds might help me with that.  Um, have I been having a hard time buckling down and getting things done? Nope...well, maybe with some of the housework, but that's not what's been on my mind. I don't worry about that as often as I should. How about things buckling under pressure?  Have I been buckling under the pressure of all the upcoming weddings and such? Nope. Those have been fun to look forward to. I could go on and on, but none of those are even close to the buckle I've been drooling about.

How about this kind of buckle? This kind of buckle was not mentioned on the dictionary.com website I checked out about the meaning of buckle. But it's been on my mind since we had this back in March...actually, I think over the course of the week we had three of these in March.

We had these at the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival back in March.  It was our absolute favorite of all the kiosks.  Mmm....

It came back to my memory as we were booking a whale watching tour for this weekend.  Did I mention we're going on a whale watching tour with my family?  We are sooo excited.  Anyway, when booking the tour the website said we could pre-order their famous blueberry buckle.  Now upon hearing the word "buckle" my mind went directly back to that baby up above.  Mmm...

Mr. Goofin' Off, of course, has ordered it for us, so it should be waiting for us when we board the boat in the morning.  Will it compare to what we had in March?  I am skeptical, but I will keep my mind open.  I'll let you know when we get back.

I know what I'm doing this weekend. What are you buckling down and doing for the weekend? Have a great one my friends...and I do think of you as friends whether or not I have met you in person.
