wips and wings

Pardon the wrinkles in the following picture, but it's Sunday, which is my lazy day, which means I ain't dragging out the iron. No way. No how.

It's one of my current "works in progress", The Mermaid, an older Carriage House Samplings design, back when she was designing under the name Barrick Samplers.



It's got a lot of filling in that needs to be done on it, good mindless (don't have to count) stitching.

Just a side note...I saw this same chart recently on ebay and it sold for about $35
That's a lot, don't you think?

Even though it's "Lazy Sunday", we did do a little cooking. Not too much because we had a sandwich while we were out having retail therapy this afternoon. We made Ree's wings, along with some baked beans. We liked them, a LOT. My youngest proclaimed them the best wings she'd ever had. So I'd say they're pretty darn tasty then, we'll make them again. Very simple, easy to make.

Ree always makes it easy, doesn't she? Love the Ree, she should write a book. A cookbook!



Thanks so much for stopping by and reading my silly blog. We appreciated hearing your thoughts on whether or not to neuter Astro. We're putting it off for now and just seeing how things go. He is an indoor pup and doesn't roam around outside without supervision, so he's not likely to father any babies without us knowing about it, lol.
Anyway, thanks again. Your nice comments and compliments are very heartwarming :)

Love the WIP! I stitched that but left off the name & it looks kind of bare. I might go back and add it, I don't know. The wings look good!!

I was wondering what you decided to do about Astro's twig & berries. I believe that a person can be a responsible pet owner and not neuter if the pet doesn't roam. You could always hire Astro out for stud! :D We've been asked about Duff, but I'm not sure I want to pimp him out just yet. LOL

I love this Mermaid sampler! I have it, along with all the other Carriage House/Barrick mermaids, to stitch. Some day soon!

Oh those wings look delicious. We love wings with football on Sundays! Thanks for the link to the recipe.

and another thing ~~ DH wishes I would cook like you do! But then what the heck do I need to do that for when he is such a fine cook himself? Kinda silly to have 2 in the kitchen at the same time, right? {{hugs}}
