On another subject, last night we went out to dinner with friends. It was the first time we had been out to dinner in about two months: a big change for us..and probably has contributed to my losing some weight. The food was outstanding, albeit not quite what we expected when we ordered the whole red snapper - LOL. This fellow does not look particularly cheerful, but neither would I in his situation.
It's soup weather, so I got busy late this morning. Don't ask me what kind of soup; it's SOUP. You know --
6 cups of water, a bone, can of tomatoes, onions, celery, garlic, cannellini beans, lentils, a hunk of parmesean cheese, salt, bay leaf, fennel seeds, oregano, thyme, and basil - both fresh and dried.
I don't measure, except for the water. I throw everything into the pressure cooker I have had since 1963 and after 20 minutes, it's soup. Stone soup? It's never the same twice - but this particular batch is better than usual. Don't you love the basil leaves? I'd consider a career as a food stylist if I weren't so sloppy.
Enough of a break. Back to stitching. Now that it is after 2:am, I have my second wind. Oh, dear.

Congrats on the loss of weight! I was up late last night too since I told myself that I would not go to bed without finishing the hand applique goal I set out. . . I did it but I'm tired too!!! Still goals are good!!!
The glance the snapper gave me makes me more determined not to eat what can look at me.
A small piece from an ox leg cannot.
You mean I have to stop eating out to lose weight? That is no fun. I hope you post some photos of the show.
Good tip for making a sleeve!
that soup looks yummy. Do get some rest!!!!
I'd love to see a full shot of the piece you are adding the sleeve to. The fabric looks fab!
Me again! I did not recognize what you were speaking about in reference to the Walker hanging system so I just looked it up. Indeed, during the last year I was in a small show that used the type system. It was not good! I have several things in frames I don't think they ever hung straight. In addition, the device is just too visible. Very distracting. I hope people making the decisions in regards to what type walls they will have to display art will choose something more traditional and more visually appealing. I do thank you for mentioning this product as I had no idea it was a Trend.
