Happy St. Patty's Day

I usually try to make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's day, but I just didn't get around to getting a corned beef.  So I made some cookies for dessert.  I am going to make cole slaw as the cabbage and maybe sloppy joes.

My Canadian in Cloth to date

First off, it has been a long winter.  The weather hasn't been to cold.  Not much snow.  No...  I have had one form or another of flu, cold, recuperating and then getting sick again.  Right now I have a stomach virus that has been nasty.  Next week is spring.  Hopefully that will take all the sickness with it.  My quilting has suffered through the sickness as I haven't felt like doing much more than watching Netflix on TV (what a good investment that is!) Seriously, I love Netflix.  On Saturday I watched "How to Marry a Millionaire" with Betty Grable, Marylin Monroe and Lauren Bacall.  It was great.  I have been watching a lot of the old British sitcoms too.  It has been making the time pass.
Anyway on to my Canadiana in Cloth.  I am trying to catch up now, I have quite a few more blocks to do before I can start putting it together. I like colourfull blocks so whereas the teacher tends to do her blocks a solid colour I have been trying to introduce a few different colours into my blocks.  This is where I am right now
