I had a lovely, productive Monday off ... I love extra long weekends! First of all, I made scones from scratch. Here they are ready to go in the oven . . .
They are a bit of work! But I made additions and adjustments to the basic recipe I have on file and they were worth the effort. Cranberry Orange Pecan & Cardamon Scones. Delish.
I short baked ten of them (it made twelve) and froze those, so I could bring one into work, pop it into the oven, and have it with my afternoon tea at my desk. Again ... delish!
Then I got busy in the Nook. I had everything prepped and just had to sew, trim, and sew a bit more. And now look what I have . . .
I got them all done, plus my bonus three! Yay! I've been playing around with different settings, trying to determine if I want to finish it exactly as the class sample is finished (well, plus the extra row). I still really haven't decided. But I've got time ... and the fabric. *wink*
In the evenings I've continued to work on my Snow Sampler. Look what I did:
I *finished* it! LOL! I believe I'm going to back this with batting and frame it. It would look cute on my snowflake mat with a jaunty little snowman figurine, or a white snowflake candle (or both!), don't you think?!
Yeah, I think so too! ♥ I'm also thinking I probably should have participated in The Winter Blues blog hop!
That's it for me. Today's my Friday and Todd and I are headed south to a missions conference this weekend, but I'll be back with some slow stitching to share on Sunday. Have a great weekend!
:)
