I was able to finish the wall hanging, which turned out to not be a hanging after all. I ended up making a mat for my table since I really don't have a place to put up a themed item on my walls.
I have to say I was pretty surprised when it was all done. I just finished it tonight and love it. My favorite are the flowers, so cute. There is certainly room for improvement but for my first try at something like this, I think it is okay.
Although this took me a little longer than expected, I really tried not to obsess since that is what usually causes me to lose interest.
Now on to the next one. I am going to switch gears and try my hand at a new dish I think this weekend. I have been going through some of my cook books to see what catches my eye, or stomach. In my house, trying a new meal item is tricky. Steve and Elijah, (husband and son) are a little picky, well a lot picky.
Right now they both have decided sweets are bad so baking is out unless I want to eat it all, Yes, but No! I made homemade buttermilk biscuits over the weekend, 5 got eaten (3 by me, not on the same day) and then they sat. I froze them in hopes that they will be good for another day. It takes the fun out of cooking when it isn't as appreciated as much as it was creating.
So this weekend I am going for a main dish. It has been cold lately so something hearty but not heavy. Will let you know how that turns out.
until next time...
