Our 20th wedding anniversary is the 21st. :) We are planning a large trip to a warm beach when the weather gets cold here. :) That will be our large present to each other. But I wanted to do something fun for him. I thought and thought. Then decided to do this:
I'm generally pleased with it. :) I prewashed all the dupioni. Made it Very soft to the touch. Really lovely hand. All of it is satin stitched applique except for the "Stuttgart" in the center. I used my embroidery machine for that. I already gave it to him since he won't be here on Wed. (He has to go out of town for work.) He was Very tickled with it. :) He was also very surprised. I told him this way there's one throw pillow on the bed that's not so "girly." lol
Been in the kitchen a lot lately. Apple butter, peach jam, pickled peppers. (not quite a peck, but close.) Red sauce from scratch to go with the eggplant from the garden. I've just about filled the deep freezer. I have eggplant parmesan, mashed eggplant with peas, ratatoullie, pesto, red sauce, and dried tomatoes in the freezer. Oh, and applesauce. About a gallon and a half of applesauce. The johnathon apples are in season right now, can you tell???? Lately, if I get out of the kitchen, it's a good day. LOL
