I've gotten the next two pages of the Dance of the Graces done. But now, alas, I'm going to have to put this aside for the time being. I've got some Christmas gifts that are calling for my attention.

I've got two breadclothes, some pillow cases and towels that need to be stitched up. First up is this breadcloth. It's a Rico design. It's supposed to be a table cloth done on 11 count....but I'm doing it on 25 Count Laguna. I will be doing a second one with the same design, but in reverse. The color I'm using is DMC 503. So far, I'm liking how it's turning out.

Tiny Treasures 2 Pumpkin Exhange
Monday, October 4, 2010
We celebrated DD's 23rd birthday over the weekend (although officially her birthday isn't until tomorrow). She wanted to go to an Italian Restraunt (Maggiano's) for her birthday dinner. So we decided to make a Luncheon out of it. Good thing we did too....Ended up being a three-course dinner that took 3 hours! There was sooooooo much food left that we brought home enough for three full meals for us for later this week! But I have to hand it to her....she KNOWS how to pick her restraunts! The food was FANTASTIC! Not diet friendly by ANY means...but GOOD!
I also had made her an Irish Bread Pudding (at her request) for her "birthday" cake. .... Now I had NEVER made this before, but after scouring the internet finally settled on "Gilliand's Irish Bread Pudding" Recipe. DD loved the pudding. Said it was "almost" as good as what you can get at Les Dune Verna (which is an Irish Restraunt in Glendale, AZ).
Today, I'm making pumpkin puree in preparation for Thanksgiving. Every year I make my Pumpkin pie completely from scratch. Heaven forbid if I should use a canned pumpkin for my Pumpkin Pie! DD can tell...and she will have a coniption! LOL Believe me, I've tried to be lazy upon occasion and used canned and she can tell...how? I don't know...but she can! So.....as soon as
If I have time, I'll also be making Apple Chips later today. Yum!!
