Hello friends,
Hope you all are
enjoying Sunday in your corner of the world.
I had a great weekend –
we went grocery shopping, had family over for dinner and I cooked so many new recipes.
I know its Hermit weekend and I was supposed to stitch as much as I can. However,
I love cooking and hosting guests so doesn’t feel bad if cooking cuts my
stitching time once in a while ..lol
I stitched my House of
Margaret Mystery SAL piece during IHSW. We are on week 7 and the last part will
be released next Friday. In my introduction post to this project, I wrongly
mentioned that the SAL will last 17 weeks.
Here is a before pic
Here is an after pic.
As you can see, the SAL
is not a mystery anymore..haha. We see Alex, Marty, Melman (from the movie
Madagascar) in the picture above. However I’m still guessing who the grey
animal is, at first I thought it’s an elephant, because of the big ears in the
pattern. DH says it’s a donkey. I don’t remember a popular elephant or a donkey
from the movie. So, it looks like it’s going to be Gloria with long ears.
I’m hoping to finish
this project next Friday when the last part is released. A happy dance is long
overdue.
I will leave you with a
picture of Black bean quesadillas I made for lunch yesterday. They turned out
delicious. If you are interested the recipe, it is from http://thekitchensinkblog.com/.
Instead of using canned
beans and store bought chipotle sauce, I cooked the beans myself and made chipotle
sauce with Indian chilly.
Glad you still got in some time to stitch.

ReplyDeleteGreat stitching - looks like a fun one with blocks of bright colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the not-so-mystery sampler!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun project - and you will have a finish soon :)
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of your quesadilla lunch, I'm sure they were just as delicious as they look.
That's terrific progress on the sampler. And lunch looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I can see the Madagascar characters coming up!! Looks really good and fun to stitch :)
ReplyDeleteI've not see the movie but I'm assuming Gloria is a hippo since it's gray. Looks like hubby is getting his fill of black beans now. So many wonderful ways to cook them up.
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching!! Fourth one is Gloria the hippo with small ears but rest everything big ...lol
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your fun sampler, Barbie seems to approve too...
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your stitching dear and really this dish looks so tempting.
