TGIF?

unlike when i was working, friday doesn't mean much anymore...without many diversions, the days just melt together punctuated only by weather changes...and whatever strikes my fancy!  this week it was cross stitch....

a bit more stitching on this...a pattern from modern folk embroidery....could be done for christmas...and this freebie from DMC website....

this will be a wall piece and i've got just the french general fabric for it...those reindeer get me every time!  also this week, my car had a sleepover at the garage for a few fixes.  *** and thanks to mary berry for this delish chicken wing recipe.  something i enjoy occasionally but forbidden until she demonstrated this recipe with almost no sodium ingredients--a bit of worcestershire that i pared down--and a few spices, maple syrup.  the maple syrup makes them a bit sticky but they are so very good!  

wings are ridiculously expensive right now but found a marked down package and grabbed them.

still recovering from vacation and a never-ending cold that just won't completely resolve.  not cardiac related, but annoying and keeping me in the doldrums without energy or ambition.  wacky see-saw weather affecting regular sleep habits not helpful either.  i did work on the october mini plus pulled fabric and patterns for november and december.  this weekend after chores, it's hand quilting on the christmas gift. ***  off to get more caffeine to rev up the engine...it's a fitness day!

  2. Happy Stitching.
    I think all food became incredibly expensive.

  3. Being old retired people, I get the days just blending together. At least I have church to let me know when a new week is starting. :)
    Two lovely stitchery projects. They put me in the mood for the holidays.
    The wings look and sound very good.
    Hope your cold finally leaves you alone. I caught one the day after getting home from our trip and it still lingers, though I finally started feeling human this week.

  5. The maple glaze would be good on other cuts of chicken, I think. For me the weeks seem to melt away. I keep track of the days because my husband asks me frequently.
