Have I turned into a 1 (or 2) at a time girl? I pulled out Eve's Garden because of the fabric count was easy on my eyes, but now I can't stop working on it. First Elizabeth Burrows was a start and stitch until finished project, now its looking like the same with Eve's Garden.

Last weekend Dad and I went to a behind the scenes tour at the Midway, open only for museum members. It was a lot of fun, starting out with coffee and pastries since we had to get there so early. We were able to see 6 areas normally closed off to the public - fire room, engine room, arresting gear room, aft bake shop, damage control central, and I can't remember the last area.

We still had some paid parking time after the tour, so walked around a bit.

Stitching has been a bit slow for a few days. The cooking gods decided it was time for a blood sacrifice to ensure my food is delicious. I just wish it wasn't the thumb on my right hand. Not a knife this time, just a cheapo mandoline since my good ones are in storage.
Dinner the night this happened (Wed) was seared pork chops with sauteed apples and a Calvados pan sauce.
I love your Eve's Garden! I so need to start mine! Fun pics of the tour on the Midway too! Looks like a lot of fun. Bummer about your thumb. Ouch!

What a neat tour to take, especially with your father.
ReplyDeletePretty stitches.

ReplyDeleteI've made that blood sacrifice before too, it's not fun.
Loving Eve's Garden - hoping your cut gets better soon so you can resume! Enjoy the time with your DD. Looks like a great adventure time.
ReplyDeleteGreat post love your stitching and photos, hugs.
ReplyDeleteNeat tour! They even made a restaurant on the fan tail--whew! You must get a picture of "The Kiss' statue--would love to see it! My husband just used our Mandoline last week for the first time and took off the tip of his finger! It was a mess, but not serious. It is practically healed now. But I am not too eager to use it... Hugs!
