Gentle Readers and Dear Friends thank you so much for the kind comments on the last post. The coffee cake is super easy to make. I got that recipe posted up on Blacksheep Bakes - click HERE to go there. Not much going on here - the weather shifted and it is coolness all over here in the city this morning. You could feel the winds shifting yesterday afternoon. We were sweating bullets and so decided a dip in the cement pound would be just the ticket..... so we trotted on down for a little while. Even with the sun blazing down and the sky blue as a pale aquamarine - the air was dry and the wind was cool and delicious blowing off of Twin Peaks.
On the stitching front I worked some on the Mystery Sampler - and I got the second part in the mail. I had to frog some of it as the count is not the same all the way round with the border flowers. It changes up here and there - I just need to be a bit more careful.... "count twice stitch once."
There you - a shorty post today. Thanks for stopping by, do come again!!
take care,
edgar
You got already the 2nd part!!! Lucky you. I'm still stalking the postman.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your frogging- don't you just hate it!? I may have to try your recipe w/blueberries, got some fresh NC blueberries from my boss yesterday. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Edgar! Yes, I know about the frogging on the Mystery Sampler SAL--been there already! Boy, was it driving me crazy! Haven't stitched on it in a couple of weeks now, but hope to get back on it soon. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had a case of the frogs. I've been having the same problem lately!! Can't wait to see your progress on part two!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the frogs. I thought they may have all migrated to my side of the world, but obviously not. I hope that they don't pay you another visit.
ReplyDeleteHey Edgar don't you ever make working copies to draw all over... I hear it helps with frog invastions... {LOL} Seriously I"m having fun with this Mystery Sampler. I've been a slacker and haven't worked on it in a week and part 2 came in the mail yesterday. I only have half of part 1 done so I guess I'd better get cracking. waves to my fellow stitchers from the NiaH yahoo group stitch-along.
ReplyDeleteThem darn frogs....don't ya hate them....hoping the rest of your piece is frog free xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to your recipe. I have a freezer full of raspberries so I think I might try giving it a go with them.
ReplyDeleteAs for the frogs, well if there's one thing I've learned since starting stitching it's that I don't know how to count, lol!
