~ JUST ANOTHER DAY ~

Hi All,

Thanks to you who shared your favorite pie on my last post, just silly pie fun.  To those of you working on BBD Anniversaries, I'm swooning over each and every one of them, gorgeous!

This rarely happens... might even be my first time ~ I've been in a stitchy funky dunk since the holidays, but to keep busy I managed this small, will need to primp it for sure, then decide what to do with it.  Another blogger recently mentioned she never tires of flowers in urns, I happily agree with her.
Glory Bee ~ JCS 2010 Ornie
Belgian linen 32 ~ my own colors

Today is kinda my day, another (grrrrrrr) birthday, so I treated myself, enough to enjoy and maybe help with 'da funk!
 Sassy's Fabbys ~ Golden Promise 32
 Andover silk slub ~ Berry Red
Zweigart ~ Country Mocha 32 
Days Gone By 36
PTP ~ Moonglow 32
Lakeside Linens ~ Vintage Autumn Gold 32
Red Osnaburg
Belle Soie ~ Paprika
Gast ~ Flax

If I weren't sooooooo overwhelmed with exactly how I could have possibly reached my ?0's, I'd share my age~lol!  Tonight will be a quiet dinner with best friend a/k/a DH Steve:)

Thanks so much for taking the time to pop in, enjoy the rest of your week and Sweet Stitchin to You...

Tootles, Sue

~ TODAY IS... ~

... National Pie Day, yep - Sunday January 23rd, playoff day, and I almost missed it, shame on me.

Pie is very... well... popular, that's a fact.  Don't think so?  Log into your local library website, enter keyword *pie* and see what happens. 

Honestly, this was the last book I read, just last month, a good story and very sweet:)


This is one of my many pie books, was on my Christmas wish list in 1992, golly, how pitiful that I still remember such a trivial thing!  Bet Martha wished she knew then, what she knows now:)  Yep, I'm pie helpless:)


If you're like me you bake pies, give pies, buy pies, eat pies, freeze pies, hide pies, offer pies in bribery, curse pie calories, collect pie cookbooks,  read pie novels, visit all places pie and ~S W O O N~ LOVE PIE!  Seriously, isn't life worth enjoying a pie once in a while?


Here's a couple of mine from previous posts, Tomato and Pineapple... 
 

My forever favorite is my Dad's Grape Pie made with Finger Lakes grapes and loaded with sugar, my next favorite is my Aunt Barbie's Chocolate Cream Pie, it's the real kind-not from pudding mix, bleeeech!

What's your hot diggity dog favorite pie?  The one that makes you weak in the knees, your temples pulse,
your glands salivate, the one that makes you drive for miles just for a sliver and gives you the BIG YUM.....

Pie have taken a real beating over the years, health-wise.  So come on, don't be shy, you know you wanna profess your pie preference ~ leave your comment, blog about it, share a pie with someone you love, just PROCLAIM YOUR PIE!

Then, we'll have a 'lil quiz about which blogger favors which pie, sound good?  LOL!

Tootles,  Sue ;=)
