Banana Bread

So how do you spend your Sundays? Well today mine is being spent making banana bread. I'm not just talking about a loaf. I already have 8 loave in the oven and more to make. Why do you ask? Well I bought 60 bananas for the JV football team on Wed. for their dinner on Thurs. Made 90 sandwiches and bought chips. Only to have it pour and the game to be cancelled. I took apart the sandwiches to save the meat and cheese to remake them on Monday (when the game was rescheduled for) but the bananas were ripe and wouldn't make it until Monday so I had to buy 60 new ones and now have all these very ripe ones to use so hence the banana bread.

9-21-07 Love Update

Here is what I have done for the week. I finished the oval border (Felt wonderful when it matched up with no problems) and worked on the green portion of the border. Cross Stitch Crazy had a stitch a thon last week so it really helped me with getting some done.

Love with Capital L

I have picked up Love w/Capital L by Papillon Creations. I am using Vikki Clayton Silks. Dragon's Hoard is for the L and then the inside words. Pansy & Isle Green are for the border.

The 1st picture is from 9-7 and shows a close up of the colors. The 2nd picture is from today. I have worked on the border this week.

Cirque is Finished

I have finally finished Cirque de Cercles by Ink Circles. I worked on this for approx. 6 month. I used 28 ct. Navy Jobelean and Vikki Clayton's Amethyst silk. This was stitched 1 strand of premium over 2. I love this piece and can not wait for the companion piece to be released

USS North Carolina

We took the boys to Wilmington, NC on Friday to tour the battleship. We have been there several times before but always enjoy going. The last time was 2 years before. Brian is really into WWII things to he really likes this kind of thing. Here are a few pictures from the day.
