Almost 7:00 p.m. and I'm just ready to start stitching. Got the ground beef canned, sheets washed and lunch cooked, cleaned up and leftovers in the freezer. The biggest project was getting the ground beef canned. I love canning and would do it every day but . . don't need that much canned food. We use so many jars of canned ground beef and I was very hesitant to try it. About nine ...
Baked Ziti
Before I get to the recipe link, this was made in the Ninja Combi. This is the model I have. This is an affiliate link. If you want to buy one, don't feel like you have to get it through the link but, if you do, I earn a very small commission. There are other models. I LOVE this little appliance. It has so many features and everything I've tried has worked like a champ. I love it more today than I ...
Progress Report – Thy Love Divine
This could be the next to last progress report for this project. There will be one more - maybe two more but the end is near. I absolutely loved making these rice stitches! I did get one more set of the orange balls/flowers stitched. As far as I can see with this piece in the hoop, there are 18 sets of flowers left to be stitched. That's about 576 stitches left to stitch. I may be able ...
Oscar & Cooper
These two boys - I can't even remember what it was like before Oscar and Cooper. They crack me up. Oscar is so serious and it seems like he thinks and re-thinks everything. Vince feels bad for him and is always saying "Oscar has the weight of the world on his shoulders!" I think he kinda has sad eyes and the only thing he really thinks about is food! I bet there's a book or study somewhere about ...
Monday – We’re Crazy!
You all know I cut my finger a couple of weeks ago and had to have stitches. I got the stitches out this past Wednesday but the nurse told me to not keep it soaking in water for another week (as in . . washing dishes). When I got the stitches out Wednesday, it still looked pretty bad and was really sore. By Friday, it was hardly sore at all unless I bumped it but still looked not so great. ...
More Progress on Thy Love Divine
I'm more optimistic that I might finish this project by my target date - June 15. I've gotten a lot done the last two days. Isn't that pretty? I'll be paying more attention to charts that have rice stitches from now on. They are fun to make! I'm wanting this middle row and the partial blocks on the top and bottom to be a bit lighter in color but there aren't many light colors in this ...
