I heard from my Winter Wonderland swap partner last week that her parcel had arrived. These are 2 of the things i sent.
A wallhanging from
Kaaran's First Friday Freebies. The other is a mug rug with an embroidered snowman.
I was recently inspired to drag out a kit i've had for quite a number of years & trace it out. This is the kit
No problems you say? Well it is a tad had to trace when this happens
Bella thought i'd turned the light box on for her to sleep on. :) But i did manage to get it all traced.
Meanwhile i've been working on this
& this,
Last weekend was our annual retreat. As usual the food was to rave about & the company fun & fabulous. Thanks ladies for the great weekend. Took the camera but was to lazy to take photo's. :( I did work on this
but discovered a little problem with the iron on bits so all i could do was sew the pieces together for the bag. Next i added the borders to
Michelle's stitchery which i'd finished last week.
It just needs the backing & binding now. I made a bag whilst out there. Love the size of it.
Made from charm squares & it's huge.
A while ago on Better Homes & Gardens Fast Ed made Labne Cheese. Today i have finally gotten around to trying it out.
Just 3 ingredients into the bowl.
All whisked together & into the fridge for 1/2 an hour.
Ready to hang to drain overnight. Now i'm off to make Limoncello & a nice batch of Pea & Ham soup in the slow cooker.
Happy Stitching,
You're so talented, and keeping very busy with these things. I've never heard of Labne cheese OR Limoncella along with ham and pea soup! Such delicacies!
