projects started. projects completed. projects eaten?

was working on a secret project. a holiday present for friends. finished in time, of course. my very own stitched version of home sweet home. i'm pretty darn please with the way it came out. there were some moments that i wasn't sure if i would like it, especially the letters. in the end it gets a thumbs up. the MFs seem to like it so that's nice.

pretty amazing. i think i'll make some more for other friends with homes... hmm. if i get started now everything will definitely be done by the holidays... maybe even birthdays or anniversaries? okay, note to self get on that! (ha) 

as ya know i love making the quiches. i've started using sweet potatoes with the broccoli...the first time the sweet p's were on the bottom, which is a good idea. and some on the top, which wasn't such a good idea. 

 when i made it the second time, i did a longer pre-cook with the sweet p's. then put more broccoli on the bottom...added asiago cheese and viola, a better quiche!

and mc61 loves the bacon so this time he got a bacon BACON and cream cheese quiche. holy smokes, doesn't that look gouda!?

do you see that bacon top? yeah. there was so much bacon in this mother, it made up for the fact that the crust got well, crusty.


for starts, i'm working on simple knitted squares, which as mentioned before will be part of a baby blanket. i'm still learning but i wanted to do more than garter stitches or stockinette... so here are my broken slip stitch and moss stitch. the best part about the moss stitch is that i screwed up my row counting and made a big mistake. twice. however, it looks like it's supposed to be that way. funny how that works out!

i completed this. remember my aquarella? well here she is.. k2, p2. basic ribbing. some lucky friend will be receiving this in the mail so surprise, surprise.
