Projects I Worked On

My sunflowers I planted so late are finally starting to bloom. I really liked the look of this one against the blue skies. I like the texture of this one. I don't normally buy the giant kind that tower over me but it was so late in the season we planted this kind. The finches will be so happy as these are their favorite kind.

It has been a while since I did a punch needle project. I wanted to do this one so bad but then I sat and stared at it for two weeks. This week I decided that I would work on it. I ripped it out so many times that I decided I just needed to get over and and just punch and quit trying to make it perfect. So here it is.

First I will show you the back side so you have some idea of what the pattern looks like.

I bought this pattern from The Old Tattered Flag. Called " All Hallows Eve." It was the cutest thing I have ever saw.

Okay, here it the right side.

I think I will rip it out one more time and shorten my stitch length. Anyway I did that one afternoon until I had to go outside and run around the pasture three times just because I was so angry at myself. I put it away and got out my rug hook.

This doesn't look like a big rug but it is, I have hooked and hooked on the back ground. I think this is going to be one of my favorite rugs. I keep finding I am thinking about it and there are days like yesterday when I never had a chance to sit down and work on it. I hope to find time today.

One of the recipes that I tried recently is Fried Chicken and Waffles. Nik kept telling me how good it is and how I needed to fix it. One weekend I finally got around to fixing it. Oh my gosh, it has become my favorite meal. So tonight, Emilie is coming over for dinner as Nik is busy doing something else. Every time I have fixed it it just so happens he is gone but at least Emilie will get to eat with us. I like to cook, but eating is just not really something I enjoy. Weird I know, I eat only because my body demands that I do. But Waffles and Fried Chicken is totally different I really like that and I didn't expect too. When I was a kid and I would have to stop playing to have to come in the house to eat just bugged me. I still feel pretty much the same way. If I didn't have people to cook for I never would and eating I don't think it would be something I would do. It is a good thing Ron is home on weekends because he feeds me. There are so many other things to do and to eat is just such a waste of time. Like sleeping, think of the things you could get done if you didn't have to sleep.

Just rambling along now. It is a beautiful morning. Just a lovely Friday. I hope you have such a nice weekend.
