I also made Rice Krispies treats in the traditional Mardi Gras colors, purple, gold and green. I used Peeps for the marshmallow and pressed the layers into a loaf pan, a super quick and fun microwave confection that the kids thought were pretty neat, although the colors weren't as bright as I'd hoped. They tasted good, too, slightly different from the traditional recipe, but just as good. I'll make some other colors for Easter, I suspect, when we will also have our annual Peeps war, where the Peeps joust in the microwave with toothpick swords.
Not much more sewing has gotten done, but I found a button in my button jar that I was able to use to finally finish my February purse, just in the nick of time!
My goals for March include sewing two items of clothing, not yet cut out, several Solstice quilt blocks (I am two weeks behind already!), and my March purse. It is even possible that I will get a little housework done this month, despite the real and equal possibility that I won't. I had a strange dream last night, about a fried fish that came back to life as a beautiful blue and red koi, and my basement full to the ceiling with trash bags of items I was ready to discard. Perhaps my dream self thinks it is time for a few changes around here!
Happy Fat Tuesday! Enjoy it while you can! :)
