A Stitchy Valentine Vignette

Happy Thursday !
I set up this Valentine vignette in the living room ..Two cross stitched monthly pieces ..a couple thrift store books with red covers..a dried hydrangea from our garden and a wooden love sign.

Last year I made this chalkboard with crocheted flowers for Valentines day decor.. My daughter wanted it for her house so it hangs in her hallway ..

I also made these crochet rose heart pillows..I still have one its on our bed..but surprisingly 2 of them have ended up at my daughters house too :)

My progress on the giant granny square blanket ..a few more rows and the border..and sewing in all the ends..

Yesterday after more snow the night before..

Today the sun is shining .. this was the sunrise this morning !
Have a wonderful weekend!

Grannies, Stitching, Soup ,Snow and Cold !

Good Sunday morning ! Hope you are having a great weekend !
I am still working on the Granny Square blanket , Probably 1/3 of the way finished .. Still loving it !

The other blanket is the Puffy Flower blanket I made last year ..

I completed this ornament for January .. Little House Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks , started a facebook group and Vonna suggested to stitch an ornament for each of the 12 months , so at the end of the year you will have 12 ornaments from LHN or CCN.. Couldn't resist that :)

My progress on Silent Night , hope to get some stitching in today for #santasundayxs on Instagram !

I have supervisors for Dog Lessons..

Yesterday I made the Pioneer Woman's tortilla soup .. I make it ALOT .. I do a couple things different.. When I cook the chicken I use 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper and 1 tsp. chili powder with a little garlic salt for the spices..( This chicken is also really good just sliced on top of rice with colby jack on top ) Also.. instead of big peppers I use a whole bag of the mini sweet peppers chopped..and I add a quart size bag of frozen zucchini from our garden ..I omit the black beans ( just don't like them ) sometimes we also add corn ,either frozen or fresh. Great way to get lots of vegetables in :) I fry the corn tortillas for the top.. and you have to have fresh cilantro .. This soup is amazing !! If I ahve alot left over , I put it into single serving size plastic containers ..It is great to take one of them out for lunch :)

Since I now live in Antarctica...( just kidding , Chicago suburbs) We had more snow last night and tomorrow it will be -6 for the high ...-24 overnight !!! Wonder if they will close the schools again ..
