So besides stitching on exchanges I've been doing some finishing ... and loving it!!! It's nice to have these out of the finish drawer ... I stitched Celebrate Freedom (Bent Creek Snapper) last year. I finished it into a hanging pillow. The backing fabric is the fabric it's sitting on. I just love how it turned out!
My next finish is a pinkeep. Faye stitched these for me last year in the Fair and Square 4th of July exchange .. adorable!
And last is my scissor fob. This is the Lizzie*Kate Spring fob. Karen had stitched the design for the Lizzie*Kate exchange and finished it into a floss tag ... now I have a matching floss tag and scissor fob :)
No more blogging for me this week ... Terry and I will be heading out of town for a long weekend away to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary ... yep 35 years!!! can't hardly believe it's been that long :) Our anniversary is actually the 14th (Monday) but we're going to go play Friday through Sunday ... I'm really looking forward to getting away.
Melita stitched this for me 2 years ago in the Fair and Square exchange ... I had fun playing with all the beads ...

Great finsihes. Love that flag fabric. Carnitas Take one bone in pork sholder place in dutch oven pour beef broth till it comes half way up to meat add cumin, chili powder,tomatoe paste a tablespoon or two, add 1 onion quarted a couple cloves garlic. Let simmer for 3-4 hours till it is tender the bone will start to pull away from the meat.
Take out from water put on cutting board shred and then roughly chop. Carnitas means littel meats, after you shred place on cookie sheet, sprinkle with kosher salt and cook in oven turning occasionly till somewhat crispy, not burnt :)
Fantastic finishing Michele! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Anniversary for Monday!
