Some Goodies, Some Stitching and, BTW, Go Steelers!

Brrr! It's been sooooo cold here; I turned on the Weather Channel this a.m. and they were telling me that the temp was zero. Brrrr again!

I did venture out to church and when I got home I had the urge to bake up a batch of shortbread cookies. I didn't have enough flour to make the full recipe, so I cut it in half and ended up with 15 cookies.
You only see 13 there? Gee, wonder how that could be..... Just call it quality control! And for those who are counting, now there are 11:

What could be better on a cold Sunday afternoon? A good book (a very good book, in fact), a nice cup of coffee, and a couple of fresh-baked shortbread cookies. Ahhhh, sweet bliss....

Football started around 3pm and football time means stitching time. I pulled Robert's Stocking out of the WIP basket and am happy to say that it is almost finished!

I still don't have the right color of perle coton for his skates; I totally forgot to look for it at the LNS last weekend. I also have the embellishment packet on order at the LNS and it hasn't come in yet. I'm going to give her a call tomorrow about that because it's been since about September that I asked her to order it. Hmmmm.

Here's a closer look at the reindeer and the little checkerboard. The reindeer weren't bad but the checkerboard was a pill to stitch.

And I just gotta say, Go Steelers! I watched both games and I think the Super Bowl is going to be a dandy. Green Bay is hot (metaphorically speaking) and if they play in the Super Bowl like they played today, they'll give Pittsburgh quite the game. It'll be fun.

Wishing everyone a great week -- happy stitching!
