Hi, Friends.
Is it my imagination or do the weekend days pass more quickly than the weekdays? Or perhaps I try to fit in more on the weekends?
There
were a lot of domestic duties that had to be fulfilled last weekend; a trip to the
farmers market, bakery, clothes shopping for an upcoming wedding and major league baseball
games to watch. Maybe that last activity can’t be classified as domestic but it
is a necessity this time of year.
I enjoyed time sewing up my Gene’s Flying Stars.
I’m
using a layer cake of Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille for Moda Fabrics. I’ve
had this for a while, and it makes me smile.
I’ll
have to put these aside (not back in the box) for a few weeks.
In
the hoop is May’s Calendar Crates by Stitching with the Housewives.
This is the monthly cross stitch piece that is placed on the board next to the garage entrance.
I have to stitch and fully finish May, June and July. All other months are stitched and fully finished.
I
also baked some of the best cake-like cookies we’ve ever had, and you KNOW I
love good cookies. They are sour cream cookies with buttercream frosting.
You
can find the recipe here at Preppy Kitchen.
As
we were sitting in the downstairs family room, watching baseball of course, we
noticed a rather large bird at the feeder. He was actually eating off the
ground underneath the feeder.
I suppose he thinks it is safe since Thanksgiving is still seven months away.
I’m
also very happy to report that I didn’t kill the hydrangeas.
I hope their blooms will be as impressive as their leaves.
Spring
is finally sprouting here in the mountains.
Speaking
of spring, hubby and I are off this weekend in the Airstream to get her de-winterized
and cleaned up for the camping season.
I’ll
be away for the next five weekends on some trip or other. I’ll do my best to
share the journey. This most likely means that there will be more cross
stitch and less sewing to show, but you never know.
I sure hope you are having a great week so far.
Best Wishes!
