Progress has been made on the landscape as you can see...
There has been some stitching on the trees and in the grass area. Right now I'm working on over-stitching the flowers.
And....just for fun....this is what appeared in my sewing room doorway earlier...
Sourdough popovers! Yum!
Thank you! Feta cheese is a favorite!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe
It's a favourite here too....love feta cheese (well, there's not too many cheeses I don't like!).
DeleteYour picture is really coming along so well; I love that curving green swath along the grass;)))
ReplyDeleteHot and humid here--staying inside with AC on...Hugs from Home Base Julierose
Not so hot here today - a nice little break from the heat we did have, but it would be nice if it was just a tad warmer. I'm toying with changing the grass somewhat - will have to decide that in the next day or two I think.
DeleteOh, I love the flowers! And those popovers look tasty! Mmmmm...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, those popovers were yummy! Good thing the nature of sourdough is that you have to keep using it, so I'm sure these will be on the menu quite regularly (yay!). Spent the afternoon stitching on the flowers and I think there's at least another afternoon before they'll be done.
DeleteIt's certainly nice to have baked goods just show up! They look very good.
ReplyDeleteAnd your artwork's moving right along,too.
Funny how often things like that appear in my sewing room doorway - either that, or a taste on the end of a fork.
DeleteLove what you ate doing with the church.
ReplyDeleteWell, I DO have good subject matter to work from (thank you!).
DeleteHi Maryanne Thankyou for sharing your salad recipe with us and wow your landscape looks awesome,you really are so clever,beautiful work my friend xx
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome for the recipe - let me know if you try it. The landscape has a ways to go yet!
DeleteOh wow, she stitches and some delicious baking treats magically appear at the door....how fabulous! You are spoilt with that Resident Chef of yours, Mary Anne. Your landscape is looking great. Love those flowers.
ReplyDeleteYep, I have the best of worlds! And I do know I'm very spoiled (but I make sure he knows I'm grateful).
DeleteThat salad recipe sounds like a good one. Landscape coming along. looks nice. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteIt was good, for sure. I think this one will be on the menu quite often over the summer.
