Slipped from our grasp




Victory was stripped from the Vixens at today's BBQ Cook Off. These are the ribs that brought us down. But the truth is the food was amazing so we were all winners. The gourmet stuffed burgers just could not compete with these "fall off the bone" ribs. The sun broke out just before everyone arrived at lunch time so it was a perfect day despite having to concede victory. The truth is, unless we ban ribs from the menu, I doubt we will ever beat this team ;)

On some hooking news, I have planned my next project. A fresh new piece of linen and a sharpie at the kitchen table


(You didn't think I would show you the whole thing this early, did ya?). Now I'm sorting through my stash and color planning a bit. It's so much fun when you are starting a new project and exploring through piles of uncut wool :)

So far the week ahead looks fairly quiet. I do have to work one night but I'm toying with the idea of taking Fridays off as much as possible this summer. Checking the long range forecast so maybe it will be a short week.

    I'm glad it was all in fun and that they fed you good.
    What fun.

  7. It looks so yummy. I like the sneak peek at your new project. I can't wait to see it. I think that is a good idea. I know with R. taking every other Friday off it has been so nice for him. He loves it when it is his four day week.
    Summer is a good time.
