All of my holiday shopping is done! Yay! We had a "giving tree" at church, and I picked a little 9 year old girl this year. One of the things she put down was coloring books. Here I am at Walmart, and I am shocked at how much coloring books are these days. Granted, they were thicker and fancier than the ones I got when I was a kid. But $9? Sheesh.
I made toffee! I had seen a video on how to do it, along with a recipe and it looked so easy. So I made it on Monday. I knew something was wrong when all I could smell was burnt sugar. I tossed that one in the bin and looked up another recipe. It was even easier, and it came out great. I need to get on with my cookies, but today is bread day, so I'll just embroider.
I am doing this one for a friend of mine who loves sunflowers. I really should have been almost done, but with the holidays and the illness, and some days feeling really lazy, I haven't made a lot of progress. Luckily she is cool with however long it takes me. In exchange I'll have a couple of free haircuts, so win win!
Well, I better get to work on it! Have a great week everyone!
Love, 365
Amazing embroidery. Only 2 hair cuts worth?! You short change yourself.
ReplyDeleteYou might be right! I'll see what we can negotiate. :-)
DeleteWe used to make toffee when we were kids. I loved it but it was a tooth breaker. And homemade fudge.... Oh boy
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery is beautiful. Clever girl!
I do love embroidery. I used to embroider many years ago, and only a year ago decided it was time to drag it all out and have another go. It's relaxing.
ReplyDeleteMy toffee is not too hard....except for the first batch I made that I had to throw out. Not only was it like rocks, it was completely burned. The smell of burnt sugar hung around for nearly a week.
