Fun Fact: Did you know that coffee can be used to fuel cars? Researchers have actually made biodiesel out of coffee oil. So yeah, it powers you AND potentially your car! 🚗☕️

Happy Monday morning!!! Welcome to Monday Musings! I hope you have all had a wonderful week. As you are reading this, I’m either on my way, or have arrived at the beautiful Gulf coast to eat lots of seafood and maybe find a quilt shop or two!! Hopefully it won’t storm the whole time we’re there. Now, let’s move on to the good stuff!!
Here’s how my story ended for the week of 6/30- 7/6/25:
- Sewing Day with friends, Wednesday! Nope! We cancelled this week.
- Test those designs for my August IB project. DONE!! I like the way it turned out and went ahead and completed my August project. You’ll have to wait until next month to see it, though!
- I received my boxes from Island Batik for the projects for the remainder of the year, so I need to get those photographed and a slide show made for the unboxing video. IN PROGRESS!
- Whatever suits my fancy. DONE!! Washed clothes and packed for vacay!
Plans for the week of 7/7 – 7/13/25:
- Finish Unboxing video/slideshow when I return home later this week.
- Whatever cranks my tractor! Keeping things loose this week!

Hi Brenda, I managed to miss linking up this week, but I’ll do it next week 🙂 Not much going on here. I really hope that you have a great time on vacation and get to enjoy great weather and seafood! Take care.
What fun to get a few days to enjoy seafood, fabric shops and whatever catches your fancy. Enjoy the Gulf scenery. Hope the weather is fantastic. Thank you for hosting us again and for sharing your progress on To Do Tuesday
Oh how fun, Brenda. I wish you safe travels and enjoy all of that yummy seafood. I look forward to hearing if you find any goodies to add to your stash. Hugs.
Thanks Brenda! Enjoy your vacation by the seashore.
So fun to peruse your blog!!! Have a happy vacay!!!
Have a fun and relaxing time on vacay!
Hope the weather is good on the Gulf of America! I’m not sure which part of the Gulf you’re visiting, but I suspect it is not the Texas coast. 😉 Our son and family recently vacayed at Dauphin Island and the weather was perfect. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful vacation and happy shopping!
