Before I show pictures I have to say that I didn’t get as
much stitching done and I’m going to blame it on my
husband. On Saturday when I was just
sitting down to stitch DH came home from the golf course (yes in 90 degree
heat) and asked I mean announced that he was taking me to the movies to
see RIPD. (Which was really cute, I liked it.) Anyway after the movie we had to
eat and then walk off some of the food so we stopped at B&N and I picked up
a little light reading.
Long story short… not a whole lot of
stitching got done that day. Then came Sunday, well after he had again gone to
play golf and got back home I was obligated to cook dinner since he wasn’t forcing
me to go out to eat. While the oven was already on cooking dinner, I decided to
take a bag of Amish Friendship Bread batter out of the freezer and make a few
loaves. These are what I call Pina
Colada because it is flavored with Coconut cream pudding, shredded coconut, and
pineapple extract.
As you can see it is really good.
As a result of all the interruption by DH I was only able to
stitch another row and a half on the wedding/anniversary sampler which from now
on will be SO,SN (Something Old, Something New).
As for the Wipocalypse part of this post, there was no progress
on any of my current wips. I stitched a design for my up-coming needle book
exchange (which I can’t show), I stitched the third part
of the LHN Hometown Holiday Series “Caroling
Quartet” I stitched LHN “Needleworker”
and you’ve already seen these pictures.
So there you have it, if
it hadn’t been for DH forcing me to do other things I would have had
much more to show. So while he is at work and the laundry is in the washer and
dryer I’ll sit and make some more wonderful little xxs. Thanks for stopping byJ

Although not a lot of stitching got done it still sounds like you have had a nice weekend :) x
Minnie, you are too funny. Those husband's are catch-all(s). I'm blaming my DH for not letting me get a Christmas in July stitch done…LOL. I had to finish the stingray. I'm still pushing to get a small done though. Rat's… DD birthday is soon too.
Your Amish Friendship Bread looks and sounds good too. Wish I could have joined ya.
Keep working those stitches and send DH to the golf course. LOL.
Well, you may not have stitched a whole lot but you did have fun. Good for you!
Despite not getting to work on something, your weekend was enjoyable. Mmmmm that coconut loaf looks delicious.
Sounds like a fun weekend, and you did get a little stitching done
Sounds like you had a great weekend even if you didn't stitch as much as you wanted :) Cakes look yummy!! :P
Oh those husbands! If it wasn't for mine I'd spend all my days stitching in my pajamas!
Sounds like a great weekend:-). Your wip's are looking good.
As always enjoyed your post so much. Loved this years JCS Halloween issue. So many great projects
It is good to blame the hubby! I do it whenever I can! LOL!
Always need a good scape goat! Although it sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! Happy to hear about RIPD. We are thinking of going to see it.
How funny that you blame everything on DH! The bread looks yummy!
Well, someone has to be responsible when we don't find the time for stitching, lol. But I'm sure you had a fantastic time with your husband.
You may not have done a lot of stitching but I sure enjoyed looking at & dreaming about eating that Pina Colada bread : )
Your weekends sounds wonderfully relaxing and though you didn't get much stitching in what you have is still lovely.
My mama burned me out on Amish Friendship bread-I just can't eat, but your additions sound really good.
Sounds like you had a great weekend with your husband and I love your reading material!
Well, it sound like you had almost as much fun over the weekend as you would have had stitching. And that's all that matters.
What a lot of wonderful "distractions" for you. I love unplanned getaways. A quick lunch or dinner out. A little unplanned shopping. Just out to explore some not so traveled roads. They're all pleasant getaways. Love them!
Hello Minnie love your stitching, the Wedding Sampler is going to be beautiful and I love the LHN Needleworker. I think I might need to get that one for myself?? LOL I think it's great that you and DH got to have such a nice time with each other.
