 Pink Hand - Embroidered Partial Hearts

 

White Lace Crazy Quilt Blocks

  

 

Each block is 10x10 inches

 

I love doing hand embroidery; and I love to fish.

 

Beautiful white lace. Blocks are crazy - log cabin style.

 

+++ I hand embroidered the pink partial hearts on each block; and added the white lace, giving these a very feminine appearance.

 

Ever Cooked Fish Casserole?

That's what is currently giving my oven a work-out.

 

The ingredients are: fish, broccoli, cauliflower, purple onion, carrots, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, etc.

 

 

Done, and partially ingested.  Yummy.

 

 

 

I've Gone CRAZY with HAND Embroidery

Notice the french knots in process.

Off and on, the past couple of months, I decided to sharpen up my embroidery skills.



Went crazy and ordered over 1,500 embroidery floss skeins.(as though I didn't have enough already.)

Being that those skeins will embellish most of  my  many upcoming future designs, the floss will not sit and collect cobwebs.

Most of these I drew freehand. The above piece is part of the teams' SUNNY project.

Notice the handmade yo-yo sun.

I finally embellished a  few crazy blocks that had been sitting around for a while.

There is a small amount of machine embroidery on a some of the blocks.

Can you see the embroidered watermelon in the photo above?? Yes, that IS a watermelon.LOL 

 I really did freehand dras the star and the tulip below.

 Are you able to see the tiny black beads accenting the red zeroes below?

 This flower below will become the center of a pocket in an upcoming project.

 The flower below will have an appliqued POT. This was my first idea for our SUNNY PROJECT, but then I changed my mind. (a girl can change her mind. I was planning to applique a sun above the flowers.)

 I freehand drew ALL of the flowers, and then did HAND EMBROIDERY. (can't you tell?)

 Beaded tulip below.

 The cat and fish. Such a catch. Will the cat have such luck? 

 Another crazy that I finally finished.

Guess what HEALTHY FOODS I cooked for Dinner Yesterday !!!

Last night lil ole me got into the baking mood again. This time it was baked yellow apples, and a Tilapia, Cauliflower casserole.

I tasted one of the raw apples from the bag, and was surprised at how sweet they naturally were.

In an effort to continue to respect my waist, I added very little sugar to these. The cinnamon and allspice made them taste "just right".

I made brown rice to go along with the cauliflower.

Did you notice the green onions and cilantro here? Oh boy!!! Good eating indeed.

Are you able to sight the white fish amongst the white cauliflower?? It's there, I promise.

Fresh frozen RAW Tilapia, still bagged.

The backside of the SAME piece of fish.

I think that mine did, after being cooked, have a strong resemblance to the piece on the bag. (does that mean that I'm a good cook?)

I have seen and purchased fresh Tilapia from the Farmer's Market.(still in the skin, guts, etc) The filets shown here are just easier to deal with if your mind is on quilting, sewing, knitting and crochet, and you just want to get dinner finished as fast as possible.(I would rather be crafting, for the most part)

That's my fish story. I hope that you enjoyed it.
