I have been fairly busy stitching my Patriotic Bunny. I am motivated to finish it for July 4th.
Isn't he looking adorable. I don't have two of the colors recommended, but I am happy with the substitutions that I have made. One of them is the lightest pink on the ears. It is supposed to be a pale salmon, but I think the pink works just fine. There aren't any craft stores open here yet and it is way too expensive to ship just a couple of floss skeins.
I have also added a few stitches to October Morning.
I was baking again last week. This time I made Lemon Pound Cake Muffins.
They are delicious. The remind me of the Lemon Pound Cake at Starbucks. If you are noticing a muffin trend with my baking, it is because I can easily share with my mom and MIL.
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching. I will continue to work on my bunny and try to finish those green stitches on October Morning.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh I can't wait to see your bunny finished! I think the pink is perfect and yes ordering a few skeins online seems ridiculous. Those lemon muffins look so good, I plan on baking some soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteyour muffins look so good to me this morning
ReplyDeleteThe bunny is so cute! The muffins sound delicious - I was just thinking yesterday about making pound cake!
ReplyDeletePatriotic Bunny pink substitution looks great. Certainly no one would be aware unless you mentioned. Our craft stores opened three days which is where I purchased floss for snowman ornament. Wore mask & washed hands afterwards. Yum....lemon anything!
ReplyDeleteCathie: That Bunny is adorable, I think sometimes when we make changes to designs it is for the better, salmon just does not sound like the right color.
ReplyDeleteThe more you work on October Morning the more I like it, the grass color reminds me of the color of grass by the fence of our neighbor, it as just planted.
Thank-you for the muffin recipe, I get a lemon bread as a treat once a week at Starbucks.
All our craft stores are now open.
It is so sweet that you can share with your mother.

Beautiful stitching, love that bunny!
ReplyDeleteYour bunny is coming right along and so is October Morning! I substitute floss colors all the time, too - I have a big basket of embroidery floss and want to use it instead of buy more! Those muffins look yummy - thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteBoth your projects are progressing well. The light pink looks good. I'm always substituting colours. Those muffins look delicious I've made a note of the recipe so will give them a go.
ReplyDeleteYour bunny is adorable! The October embroidery looks really nice too! The Lemon Pound Cake Muffins look so yummy. Thank you for sharing link to the recipe. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe bunny is very sweet and your October Morning is looking lovely. I am looking forward to seeing the finished church nestled among those autumn trees. My those lemon muffins look delish....I wouldn't mind one right now, actually.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute bunny. Those muffins look delicious!
ReplyDeletehe is really adorable, I am almost over my 'huff' when the floss bled, maybe this week I'll be doing a cross stitch project - my emotions ran really high!!
ReplyDeleteOh those muffins look so good - and the cross stitching is coming along!!
