Mouse Stitchery and Cravings


Started this cute mousey couple of days ago while resting up a bit from a very sore and painful upper back muscles & neck. A good friend of mine and spiritual sister is also stitching from this same pattern (Aunt Martha's no.3820). In fact she was the one who motivated me to work on mine, she's doing hers on tea towels. Even though we do not live close by, we keep updating each other on our embroidery progress thru modern technology ;-). So bless to have a stitching friend! 
I'm stitching mine on my lap quilt project, may have to post my progress. As usual I have a few embroidery and english paper piecing projects going at once. Hoping to make considerable progress this summer on some of them, will definitely post updates as I work on them.

Now changing subject... the other day I had this intense desire for a burger, it had to taste as I was imagine it, LOL.   We jumped in the car to the nearest grocery store and grab ingredients, as soon as we got back I got busy in the kitchen.

Mmmmm, it was good! Just as I imagined it was going to taste. My choice of burger is a simple kind, with basic toppings, and this time with whole grain bread. Normally cheese-burgers don't get my attention, unless we are talking about a mushroom & swiss cheese burger ;-), but most of the time a simple well made burger is all it takes to take care of the cravings. Well, that's all for now, till next time! PS: Now I'm craving for another one!

Stitched Blooms

This pretty blooms were hand embroidered by my daughter for my kitchen. Love all the happy bright colors in it! Especially fond of how the orchids and the poppy turned out. 
It's been so hot these days that we've stayed indoors. On most days, salads have been our lunch choice... so refreshing! 
Be well! Until next time!

Making A Mild Comeback ;-)

After being away for sometime, and giving the future of this blog some thought, I decided to comeback and keep posting as time permits. Made some changes. My oldest's needleworks will be making a debut on a more regular basis, and some of her work will be available on my Etsy shop.
Here is a little peek of what I've been up to so far, in the bits of time we are able to sneak some stitching time.

Working slowly on Lucy the gardening bear, using Sulky Petites 12wt thread.
May this brief post finds you well! Until next time!
