Today I finished an item that will go into the giveaway box, I hope you like it. It is a design by Primitive Blessings and I made it into a candle mat. I decided to use wool for the noses and gave it a touch of antique spray but kept it lighter than usual on some. I just noticed that the site is gone, pending renewal, sure hope Tiffany hasn't quit designing.
Another item I finished was a stitchery I made, a few years ago. I used a darker tea stained fabric, then stitched it with a wool lana. I was not pleased with how it came out, hard to see the design in one way, but once I made it into a pillow, I liked it better. What do you think, should I add this to the box, would you like it? I reproduced it from an old fraktur and hope to do more new patterns in the future.

I have been getting things done around the house and cooking. I want to find things I can eat and make ahead of time and this time I tried a banana/pineapple cake and added my cookies with butter as a crumble topping. It wasn't bad and it was really good with strawberry ice cream on top, lol. In the summer or when I am sick, I treat myself to Bryers strawberry, it is all natural and a little sugar once in a while, won't kill me. Now I need to think of ways to moisten the cake and make it more of a snack cake that I can take on trips or a treat when we kayak. I am thinking this would be a nice cake to make strawberry shortcake with.

Debbie,
What gorgeoua stitching on those pieces. But then you are known for your beautiful work. Such a gifted artist!
I would love to have my name thrown into the pot for the giveaway. What a treasure trove of goodies seem to be piing up for the box.
take care,
trisha
both your stitcheries would be very nice in your surprise giveaway.
Love all your stitchery! I haven't tried the Lana wool yet, kind of a newbie to that, but I love Valdani so far. Sorry to hear your vacation didn't work out as planned. A few years ago we took the girls up North tent camping and it rained every day that week, high temp was 62 degrees! This was in Northern Michigan in August! We made the best of it, but I do remember coming home a day early because I was sick of being damp. Hope you and your husband are feeling better now.
Catching up with you now. Too bad about your vacation....and you were robbed???? That is awful. Plus that little boy is adorable!!!!
You have been very busy.
Now I will try to keep up.
Your Fraktur design pillow is lovely, I'd be thrilled to get it and love the candle mat, cute noses! Your cake looks delicious, with or without strawberry ice cream! Deb
As always you have the most wonderful stitches. The cake looks so good :)
The piece with the birds, is that a Kathy Schmitz design?
I was going to comment about how much I liked your stitching, but got distracted by the cake. Yum!
Love your stitching. This is something that's on my to-do list to learn. Your cake looks yummy.
