Pie

Happy Pie Day!  January 23rd, every year.  I've a friend who avoids them ~ says they just don't appeal to her, never have, never will... imagine the horror!  Where in the world would we be without pie! 

Here's a couple of mine from a previous Pie Day post.

Pineapple Pie, so easy and pantry friendly

  




Tomato Pie, yum...

Anyone wanna share their favorite pie?

Happy Pie Day to ya ~ now go make one, or get one, and share a 'lil sweet with someone ya

2013 First Finish

Hey there friends, here's hoping everyone is finding a little precious time for their handwork this month!  I created this lightly stuffed pocket finish for Carol over at Stitching Dreams for her birthday, worked in her favorite colors of yellow & blue.  The pocket runs along the trim and is a nice size to hold scissors, tape measure, or any small accessory that Carol desires...  maybe even her secret stash cash LOL!  If you'd like to wish her a Happy Birthday you can Google Stitching Dreams, don't forget to feast on her dazzling ornie finishes too!  Blogger won't let me link to her blog.  This was my first pocket project, and I see more of them in my future!
