GR&DF what a ding I was yesterday. I wrote a post then instead of posting it I saved it as a draft. I had no idea that I had done that and that the post was languishing in "save" central until the afternoon. Oh well, I guess better late than never. Just when I think I am getting the hang of computing I do some dumb thing like that.
I think I'll start off the post today with some stitching - a new piece and an older piece - The new piece (as you could probably tell from the title) is SoHRH. I finished up the second square - so here's a snap....
This square came together really quickly - now to go onto Square 3 or to square 5?? I have an exchange piece I need to get going on and then I need to get to a Christmas present - so this will go on the back stitching burner for a while. I am doing some grey fill on Garden Path - so no snap of that slow and not too interesting stitching.
The second stitching picture was a request - It is an older Halloween RR I was part of- I really want to work on the open spaces.... but for now here's a snap -
I really enjoyed this RR and wish there where a RR to join in on out in the Stitching world.
_______________
The other day on the way home we stopped off at La Victoria Bakery for a cupcake fix. Not the most authentic baked good they carry - but - when you need one, you need one..... and which one did I pick???
Here is a close up of some that reminded me of something....now what would that be??
All Hostess'y and delicious, but not what I picked....
I think that about wraps up yesterday - no visit to the farmers market - we'll get to one over the weekend. Thank you for stopping by, do come again!!
Take care,
edgar

Miam!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEdgar, if you are serious about the RR, I have been thinking about starting one for myself , and would love to have you join in on stitching! Just let me know. I love the way your's turned out. I like your fishies too!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you picked the one with the cherry. Am I right??
ReplyDeleteLove both your stitchy pieces. I remember that RR piece -- it's just so wonderful! As for the cupcake, they all look good. Did you go for the one that looks all swirly and chocolatey? :D
ReplyDeleteSome times I have duh moments when I just don't know what I was thinking or more probably wasn't thinking at all. I don't know which cupcake you picked, but I'd go for the ones with the chocolate stuff and a drop of red goo on the top. Is it cherry, raspberry (my fav) or strawberry?
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love the eel in that shores block! lol!
ReplyDeleteAnd, your RR is definitely "An Oldie But Goldie". :D Is that meadowlark? What count? I do remember you said you burrowed through several cuts of linen looking for just the right one.
Mnn; cupcakes! We TOTALLY went cupcake shopping last night--I'll not say how many we bought, but it was too many. And, they did not survive breakfast! My favorite was the raspberry cheesecake; and the "Average Joe" (Yellow cake with hocolate ganache icing).
I would have picked the chocolate iwth cherry on top but you picked the chocolate swirl, right?

Love the square, all of those are cute.
ReplyDeleteI would go for the cupcake that looks like is has strawberry cheese cake on the top.
I haven't done a RR in a long time what are you thinking about doing? Bet you could get some stitcher out of your DR.
Man!! Those cupcakes look tempting!! YUMMO.... I REALLY must get back to my "Shores" also...I only have 4 blocks done and am ashamed to say I was going to do a block per month this year...YIKKES.....Maybe you will have inspired me~~ Love the updates, Faye
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Edgar...love that block.
ReplyDeleteThe Halloween piece is so cute.
I made your peanut buttery brownies today. OH MY!! I had to cut them up and give them away to my neighbors QUICKLY before I devoured them all myself.
So delicious. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Great job on the two pieces!
ReplyDeleteI love your Halloween RR piece. Very neat!
ReplyDeleteCupcakes look yummy too.
Hi Edgar, love your RR, I also would love to get into one. It has been several years since I have participated in one.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the chocolate cake with the milk chocolate frosting!!
Roberta
Great fish! I love the HRH designs but don't have any yet..
ReplyDeleteif you find an RR, or if Sharlotte starts one, please let me know, I have always wanted to try one but haven't yet! :)
I would be interested in doing another RR, haven't done one for about 5 years. If we could hold off on starting one till the new year that would be even better :)
ReplyDeleteYum! I would have to have one of each, I'm afraid. I would pick the one with what looks like shaved chocolate but I think you picked the bright, sunshiny, yellow one! Love your shores progress - and the RR is cool.
ReplyDeleteEdgar,
ReplyDeleteBoth of your pieces are gorgeous; I love the colors in both; what fabric and count did you use for both?
The cupcakes look dellliiishh! LOL Not good for me, though, as I am trying to take off a few pounds right now.......!
I would love to try a RR again; was in one several years ago and it did not turn out too well.........someone dropped the ball and I lost my piece of stitching in the shuffle. Oh well....
Your Shores piece looks wonderful Edgar - I love those blue fish! Oh my what delicious looking cupcakes. I would have had to pick one of each!
ReplyDeleteHello, I check your new stuff regularly. Your story-telling style is awesome, keep doing what you're doing!
