Week Three - Summer of Colour

 I've just finished off my next entry for Summer of Colour. I realise that I am super quick and efficient this week, but I have to be as next week I am going away. A very kind friend of mine, Ang from Tracing Rainbows has agreed to pop the linky up for me next Monday so all should be well.
 But without further ado here is Baseball nut with his ribbons of raspberry swirl and pecans. I found this weeks prompt quite hard to plan, possibly because I have never heard of this flavour before being a Brit. I've opted for deep purple and blue threads mixed together for the fly stitch ribbons. The stitch looks a lot like the stitching on a baseball to me so I thought it was really apt. The nuts are in his expression, I was going to add a few pecans to the cream and I still might but I couldn't quite decide where and how I wanted them.

So here are my three ice creams all together. I think they make quite a lovely threesome. My DD keeps giving them all kisses when she sees them which makes me smile no end. People have been asking what I'm planning to do with these guys once I'm done, but I'm going to be horrible and leave you all in suspense a little bit longer.

 Thank you for all the wonderful and supportive comments on my last entry. I hope you all like this weeks just as much.

Summer of Colour Week 2- Mint Choc Chip

Week two is here already and so is my next stitchy creation! I have used the same outline as last weeks (and I will for each week). But this time used a mix of minty green swirls and outlines, and chocolate brown french knots. I am completely in love with him.

I don't know why I felt he needed a shocked face but now I can see him and last weeks entry side by side, I think she may have said something rather rude.
 I'm looking forward to visiting everyone else's blogs again this week, I loved all the comments from week one, so a huge thank you to everyone who popped in to say hi. Can't wait to find out our next colour prompt.

Getting back into it

Hello readers,
Today has been the first day in a long time with any sense of normalcy. It felt so wonderful to be able to make something from scratch and spend a little time sat down with some sewing. Above is a little project I whipped up this afternoon. I have embroidered 2 pillowcases with MR and MRS. On the open ends I have also crocheted a shell edge in a matching purple color. I've had the idea to make these for a little while, and now they are done I've popped them straight on the bed for hubby to find. I hope they make him smile.

I also picked up 2 pints of milk for 25p in the reduced section of our local Asda. So this afternoon I have some homemade cottage cheese dripping away in my kitchen. Tomorrows pudding will be pancakes to use up all that lovely butter milk.

What wonderful creations have you made today?
