Yesterday the mail brought a gorgeous PIF from Su. I joined her PIF last fall - it was my first ever PIF and it was just great. You get a year to stitch and mail the PIF's and you get a PIF. What could be better than sharing your stitching with others. One of the real pleasures of all this stuff is making something nice, decorative or just fun for another stitcher. We rarely meet in person and these little things are just nice hugs across the miles!! Well, I wont go on any longer - her is a snap of my PIF...
Su sent a beautifully stitched and finished pin cushion I love the blanket stitching around the edges - and it looks super with my other stitchity treasures!! Thank you so much Su for doing the PIF and letting me take part.
On the way home we stopped at the store and I picked up some small canning jars. I am determined to put up some cherry jam and even some peach preserves. Two of my favorite bread-spreads!! I also love Damson Plum and may try my hand at that after I try the cherry. My Granny put Damson Plum up every year and I always remember when we would visit them in Holly Hill, FL, there would be her preserves on the table. The things you remember...... we will see how this turns out - :)
Last night after getting home I made a batch of peanut butter cookies....
They are Rico's favorite cookie - I like them also and these turned out pretty good. I have a few for lunch today, yummy!
Stitching last night was once again focused in gifts/exchanges so there are no snaps of any of that, yet.
The flicker last night was "Heaven Can Wait" - 1943 - starring Don Ameche, Gene Tierney, Majorie Main, Charles Coburn and Spring Byington. A really very good movie - basic story is of an old playboy type review his life with Satan to see if he is eligible to enter Hell. A beautiful print by Criterion. If you have the chance I would recommend the flick as it is really very good and directed by Ernest Lubitsch.
I also finished re-reading "Half Blood Prince" - such a great series, I totally enjoyed it once again. I have read that there will be changes from the story in the movie, well that always happens - I can't wait to see the newest HP Flicker - "Half Blood Prince." I have heard both good a bad things about this movie - but I like to make up my own mind.
Thank you all for the comments - I always enjoy them!!! Have a great day!!
Take care,
edgar

Hi Edgar,
ReplyDeleteThe stitched pincushion from Su is wonderful. How lucky you are! I am a new blogger and am not familiar with the acronym PIF. Can you explain?
The cookies look yummy, too. Haven't made PB in years! I will have to remedy that!
Su's cushion project is lovely, but those peanut butter cookies look amazing. Yum CJ ok;-)

To look at those cookies and see "Heaven can Wait" by Lubitsch that is really heaven!!!! I started by seeing the version with Warren Beaty, but have to say that a film made by Lubitsch makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteAh!!! I wouldn't mind a cookie right now!!! Still 4 h of work to go!!!!
I'm so happy that one of my very first desings is in S.Francisco now"!Enjoy this lovely Sue's gift.
