Hey there sweet friends! Please let me thank you from my stitchy 'lil heart for keeping in touch, even though I haven't posted more often. Seems I've had a case of the posting blues, meaning I've been following more than posting.
Punchneedle Class...
Was such fun, 'twas more giggling than punching, that's how I roll! Here's a shot of the original class design Jacobean Tree of Life, and my tree trunk with a couple inches of what I like to call ~ my poopie loops ~ lol:)
Baking...
RAK'D a couple well deserving local shop owners, their efforts are so much appreciated:)
Choc Chip Banana Breads, cheerfully wrapped to chase away the winter blues...
Jammer Box...
Comes a time when waiting becomes r.i.d.i.c.u.l.o.u.s. After waiting too long for this to arrive at my local Joann Fabrics, I finally caved and purchased on-line. Holds a complete set of DMC floss. Story goes these were made by Plano © to store fishing lures, Matchbox Cars © and then took on the nickname of Jammer Boxes.
Then one day a very brilliant stitcher discovered these slots nicely hold sideways DMC floss cards. When the manufacturer caught wind of it, they started distributing these boxes as storage solutions. No more lugging around 3 or 4 floss caddys. L.O.V.E.

These happen to be on sale at Joann Fabrics (on-line only) for $10.49 plus s/h, not sure when sale ends, might be today, please don't hesitate if you're at all interested.

Tiramisu Cake, my fave ~ snag a piece before it's gone

I leave you with a treat from The King, something to put a 'lil boogie in the tooshie:)
Tootles, Sue
A post of goodies! That cake sure looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLost my link to your blog for a bit....happy to have found it again!! That cake looks yummy....just celebrated my own 50something birthday......(dread that next BIG number!!)...Happy Birthday! Hope all is well back there in New York.
Cindy in ME
Hey Cin, a very Happy Stitchy Birthday to you! Thx for stopping by:)
DeleteI like that class piece -- it looks pretty! I don't have a craft room either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that DD will let me take over her room when she graduates college. But that of course depends on her getting a place of her own..... Yummy looking cake!!
ReplyDeleteI can smell that banana bread all the way down here!!! You're such a tease to show that to someone on a diet....grrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteHope you had the bestest of birthdays!
Blessings
Punch needle sounds like fun. I bake my banana bread the same way, with chocolate chips.♥ What a cake!
ReplyDeleteLove the storage containers...but I really wish I could snag some cake! Happy Birthday, girl!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Courtney

Tiramisu cake? Oh YUM! I'll send you my address... lol! Happy to hear you enjoyed your punch needle class! It took me a few projects to decide whether I really liked it or not. Thanks for the floss organizing idea! Right now I have it all in numbered zip lock bags... lol!
