Great Lunch Cold Day

We managed, while we were in Fort Worth the first time, to get over to Joe T. Garcia's with Mom for lunch.  I just love their food, and it's extra good on a cold winter day.

Kit From Pigeon Forge

There is only one stitching shop in Pigeon Forge; it's a fairly nice one, but it's not really well stocked wiht threads and items that are out of the cross stitch mainstream.  I did find this needlepoint kit.  Unfortunately, it didn't come with the canvas.

Crazy January Start Sixteen - Blackstone Fantasy Garden

I've been wanting to start this for quite a while and had it kitted up, so.... it's started now.  I just need to add it to the rotation.

Crazy January Start Fifteen - C Is For Charlotte

This is the beginning of a really big blackwork sampler.  It's started now, so it's half done, right?

Early Morning Breakfast

 When we finally left Fort Worth the first time, we left early in the morning.  On the way out of town, we had breakfast at IHOP with Mom!  Breakfast was good and the waitress was very attentive.  On top of that, it wasn't even crowded.  Overall, a good start to an overly long day of driving.

Thank You Olga

My language teacher gave me a neat bread server and some candy for Christmas.  Thank you Olga!

Crazy January Start Fourteen - Milk Chocolate Cappucino Truffle

This is another ornament with colors of my choice.  I'm looking at ornaments because they're small and easy to complete.  Needless to say, my UFO pile is getting rather large.
