PIF's arrive

The other two PIF's have arrived safe and sound - Here are some snaps ....

for Karen.......


...and for Lisa.

Do you see a theme here?? All the charts where parts of Alphabet Zoo - such a great stitch. I will need to do this whole alphabet piece at some point.

I do thank you all for the kind comments about the ABC piece. I also think we all agree that baby Pidges are less than beautiful!! Don't we learn lots from each other Mary gave a name to the pidgelettes - Squabs - now who would have guessed. I have had squab on a plate and it was way more delicious and better looking than either pidgelette in my window box!!

Berit wanted to know about the stuffed shells - yes - it is a la Florentine - I actually sort of made up this recipe as I couldn't find a single one that I liked but I could find parts of recipes that appealed to me - so I just combined them together for the final product. The basic recipe is one from the Frugal Gourmet I got a long time ago. I have changed it up quite a bit since then with other additions to its present form.

A little Mystery Stitching and more Christmas Stitching last night. We have a three day weekend coming up so I hope to finish up the mystery Sampler to show it off next Monday. Now that I have put that in writing it probably wont happen!! :)

There have been quiet a few flickers but nothing remarkable and lots of repeats. I do love watching a good movie again and again. I know it makes Rico insane and I have heard more than once "Haven't you seen that before???" He gets the raspberry and I re-watch the flick!!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!! I really appreciate the time you spend here!!

Take care,
edgar

  3. Love the PIF's, too! What thread did you use?

    I have several old, classic movies in my collection and when I can't find anything on the boob-tube (which is often!) I put in an old movie. My DH has his big screen downstairs in his "man cave" so I watch my movies upstairs. He'll come up to see what I'm watching and when he sees it's a "repeat" movie he always says, "Not that one again?" Then he laughs and goes back down to his "cave" :) What can I say...I love my old movies...even if I've seen them a million times :)

  5. The pyn keepes that you sent as PIF's are beautiful. I love that color.
    Congrats on the finish of the ABC sampler. It is indeed beautiful.
    Small haul but very nice ones at your weekend travels. I thought of you a few times this past week as I was in a couple of antique/junk stores and saw some blue plates. Perhaps you could give me an idea of what it is you are looking for as I saw several very inexpensive possibilities.

  7. Aww, don't razz Rico. I can't stand watching Joe's movies over and over again. It's always some outdated 70's Western that I can't stand. Now I could watch Dr. Zhivago, Forrest Gump or Out of Africa a hundred times!
