Sugar in addition to spice in addition to everything nice. It's been going through my caput alongside all the canning in addition to cooking...and the stitching. Yesterday I made my agency across the give of the Pumpkin Pie embroidery block.
The tendril on the pumpkin is done inwards a tiny chain stitch, in addition to this is apace becoming my most dreaded matter to come across on the stitching legend. It isn't a hard stitch, but it is like shooting fish in a barrel in addition to it takes virtually forEVER to brand whatsoever progress. It took me 2 sittings to complete upwards that tendril.
The Sundress quilt has a lot of tiny chain stitching equally well, in addition to i wonders why Meg Hawkey seems hence intent on using it. Of course, I could ever switch to a stalk stitch, which is quicker to do, in addition to gives essentially the same effect. On the other hand, it would endure a piddling similar cheating, in addition to hence I proceed next the instructions. I'm non a individual who colors exterior the lines much. (You tin blame my many years studying classical piano. One does non accept liberties alongside Bach or Chopin.)
So I've moved my hoop to the lower left, in addition to the give one-half is generally done. I aspect to complete this upwards field we're at the beach...especially directly that the tiny chain sew is finished.
After that, I got to operate making the Carrot Cake Jam. It's hence good. Of all the jams in addition to jellies I've made hence far, this i is my favorite. It's hence skillful spread on a toasted piece of homemade sourdough slathered inwards butta. Yeah...now I actually experience inwards the mood for but about bread. Yesterday's yield was nine half-pints, which should endure plenty to larn us through the year.
This is the recipe I'm using:
The master copy recipe was tweaked but a little. When I made this the outset time, the recipe called for 1-3/4 cups of canned crushed pineapple. When I measured out 1-3/4 cups, at that topographic point was but a piddling chip left inwards the can, in addition to hence I but dumped that into the mix too. Also, I added 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice for a full of 1/4 cup. While I was waiting for that to orbit in addition to process, I had plenty fourth dimension to position together the Lemon Cheesecake Mousse(s). We'll accept those alongside us for dessert field we're away. They're hence overnice a light...not calorie-free on calories, hear you, but they are small.
From at that topographic point I made a quick trip to the grocery store in addition to and hence dorsum abode again. The tomatoes cause got been harvested. There are likely close 3 pounds there, but they haven't been weighed. Some are a piddling on the greenish side, but I didn't desire them falling on the solid soil field nosotros are gone. There are yet plenty to a greater extent than coming.
Since I aspect to complete upwards my embroidery piece, I traced out the side past times side quilt store names for the Shop Hop quilt, in addition to I'll larn a start on this earlier nosotros larn back.
While I was putting away my calorie-free box, I happened to glance at the clock it was already past times 5:00 p.m. It was a busy day, in addition to the fourth dimension flew by.
This morn I require to H2O the annuals, in addition to and hence we'll larn our clothes packed upwards in addition to accept off fairly early. We tin banking concern check into the RV commons at noon, in addition to hence we'll endeavor to larn at that topographic point close then. All the nutrient jibe hence nicely inwards the novel RV. I'm afraid clothes mightiness endure a piddling trickier. There is plenty of cupboard space, but less drawer infinite inwards the bath in addition to the bedroom. Every RV has its piddling challenges, in addition to it takes a piddling exercise in addition to experimentation to honor the best agency to incorporate things.
We're taking the laptop. It has a permanent abode inwards the novel RV, in addition to hence I'll ever cause got it along when nosotros travel. The enquiry is ever whether we'll cause got wi-fi or jail cellular telephone telephone coverage, in addition to hence I don't know yet whether I'll weblog field we're gone. It's equally much a mystery to me equally it is to you. Either way, I'll endure dorsum hither on Sabbatum to say y'all what happened. The air has turned smoky again. We're hoping for improve air character on the coast.
