French Bread Pizza

July 6, 2025

Continuing with my all day cross stitching and zero desire to cook, dinner time was fast approaching. There were several options but French Bread Pizza won out. It was delicious and Vince went on and on about how good it was and how much better it was than pizza we get out. I love Woody's Pizza so I don't think this was nearly as good as their pizza. I bought a loaf of French Bread from ...

Day 3 of Let Freedom Ring

July 6, 2025

I'm not going to show this one every day but I'm enjoying working on it. Maybe I'll show it as I finish each page of the chart. There are 15 pages. I think it's going to be so pretty! Yesterday I had to stop and have a little pep talk with myself! I did fix breakfast - fried eggs, sausage, potatoes and toast. I had planned to open jars for dinner but as it got closer to time to put the ...

Maple Nut Ice Cream

July 5, 2025

Yesterday I was watching YouTube videos while stitching. In fact, it was late last night (or early this morning!) when I saw this one and I was so tempted to stir up this ice cream right then but I waited. :) Farming Pastor's Wife is a YouTube channel I try to always watch. She had great recipes - mostly every day type foods. Yesterday she was making Maple Nut Ice Cream. Not only did it look ...

Week 1 – Let Freedom Ring Progress

July 5, 2025

Here's my plan for getting this monster stitched and framed before July 4, 2026. It's Let Freedom Ring by Lila's Studio. On 40 count linen, it should be 15-1/2" x 12". There are 35,818 stitches. If I stitch 750 stitches each week for 48 weeks, that will give me four weeks to get a frame ordered and get it framed. I'm thinking I'll leave this piece on the wall all year. I may not . . I ...

More Eggplant Salsa

July 4, 2025

Everyone is probably tired of hearing me talking about this eggplant salsa but we really love it. I'm not much of a red sauce fan but I do like this. Yesterday I picked 7 or 8 more eggplants and opened one of the previously canned jars of salsa and fixed it for our dinner. Here's how I did it. I cooked four slices of bacon and put it aside. I used the bacon grease to brown two thinly sliced ...

Independence Day Stitching Start

July 4, 2025

Happy Independence Day!! With the 250th birthday of our great country coming up in 2026, there's been quite a bit of chatter in the cross stitch world about stitching patriotic pieces between now and then. I had written a blog post about it and had shared some of the projects I was thinking about stitching. Many are stitching 13 smalls since the first flag had 13 stripes. I still want to stitch ...
