I promise . . no more dog pictures for at least a week! Last night I was stitching and the dogs were sleeping. Cooper had his head right up under my stitching frame, sleeping on his back as he loves to do. I don't know if he was having a dream or what but he kept opening his eyes and all I could see were the whites of the eyes. I could not stop laughing at him. You can blame Cooper if ...
Progress on No Bees
I started No Bees by Birds of a Feather on May 14. My goal was to get the words and one color of the borders stitched and I finished that last night. With the linen drooping in the frame, it looks wonky but it isn't. In this post, I shared a photo of the chart and the floss conversion I had done. Today I think I'll start on Don't Cry Because It's Over. I'm hoping to be able to get that ...
Cross Stitching Without Letters
The cross stitch shop in Granby, MO posted on FB yesterday that they had gotten in some Nurge framers and I wanted one (or two) so I asked Vince if he would mind going over there this morning. I had to agree to eat at the Chinese restaurant in Neosho, which I did . . it's give and take, you know! It's a very small shop but such a nice, well stocked shop and we are so lucky to have it close. I ...
Cooper and Oscar
I'm sorry if you get tired of seeing dog pictures. I say that every time but they crack me up. In the mornings, they play/fight and you'd think they were trying to kill each other but apparently, that's normal. They will go at it for 30 minutes to an hour and I let them do it til they're ready to stop because then, they will curl up and sleep for about 3 hours. Then, it starts all over ...
A Garden Update
We were out Wednesday (I think) and stopped by Lowe's to see if we could find a lilac to put over Rita's grave. We did find one. I didn't start any eggplants this year because I wasn't going to plant any. I'm so limited on garden space and had decided not to plant okra or eggplant this year but Vince wanted eggplant and I'll probably end up planting okra when I take out the garlic. A while back we ...
Chicken Enchiladas
One of my favorite cooking YouTube channels is Rachel Cooks With Love, though most of the time I call it "Rachel Loves to Cook". I've made so many of her recipes and they are all delicious. I told Vince at dinner . . if I could cook only one ethnic food forever, it would be Mexican. If he had his way, it would be Italian. I do cook some Italian but he loves the red sauces and I do not like them at ...
