I Can Smell The Roast Beef!

Business:  Here is a link to Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe  latest gorgeous giveaways

Was all excited about the Rump Roast for dinner tonight.  

It smelled divine while it was cooking.  

It was medium rare....perfectly cooked for us!

But, it was shoe leather!

I hate that when it happens.  

Even the gravy turned out great!

We were going to have beef sandwiches Wednesday for dinner.....shoot that idea.  

I have a really busy week at work since my co-worker is on vacation.  

Now I have to come up with something else....BAH!!

We got a lot of cleaning this weekend.  

I figured I had to do it this weekend while there is still snow and Bob can't go out to the property.  

Got him up on a ladder to clean fans and the tops of the kitchen cabinets.

I washed the decorative baskets and glassware that are displayed up there.  

I also rung out the rag and handed it back to him.  

I got Ed to wipe the baseboards, he has young knees.....his parents do not.  

When we were done, we had a little lunch.  

On the way to the grocery store, we stopped at a new coffee place.  

I had a Magic Mocha, it was a Mocha Latte with the spicy kick of cayenne pepper.  

I think that will be my drink there. 

I did putzed in the sewing room today.  

I got a few things put away.  

I bought some square frames at Hobby Lobby last weekend I thought I could use to re-frame 

La-D-Da's Spring Hare.

I used the frame it was in for something else.  

Of course the frames weren't quite the right size so, I took it off the board, cut it and re-attached it.

My lines aren't exactly the straight.....heavy sigh....I have difficulty with lines and framing.  

Now for the Sarah Braizear update.  

I even ironed it so it would photograph pretty.  

I think this is pretty much the area I worked on this week.  

I wanted a close up of the vase

The center section

I am going to put it aside for a while.  

I want to work on BBD Merrily, Merrily We Welcome Spring.  

I also want to work on an Homespun Elegance There is a Garden I got from her Etsy shop.  

It is a small piece that I picked some Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe thread that looks fabulous.

I will post it next week.  

It isn't on of my stitch 9 challenge list but, I don't care!

I will come back to Sarah but, I need a break.  

She is large and complicated since I'm doing it on 40 count.  

I hoping for a smooth week. 

It will be busy.

I hope I can stay awake in the evening long enough to get a little stitching done.  

Hope you had a great weekend!

Keep on Stitching
