Two More Leaves


Today I was able to finish top-stitching two more leaves on my "Leaves" table runner.

For today's effort, I stitched the reddish-orange one,

and the green one.

Tomorrow I should have time to top-stitch the purple one, and then it will be ready to sandwich and quilt. Looks like I might actually finish this so that I can have a fall table runner on my table.
Also today, I went back to swimming, as I intended to do. That means I've done two days of exercise so far this week. If you recall, I get a "C" grade in exercise for going twice in a week. Three times earns me a "B", and four times earns me an "A". Of course, nobody cares but me.
Tomorrow I'm going to spend some quality time with my dentist while he does a crown prep. Oh boy. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. Really. I can hardly stand it. But you know how it is...your wallet gets so heavy carrying around all that cash. Every once in a while it's kind of a relief to get a new crown so you can lighten your load a little. Can I get an Amen on that? Really? Nobody?
Mike just got home. I have a pot roast cooking away in the Dutch oven. Tonight we're having Spanish Daube, which Mike has declared as his favorite pot roast of all time. It's pretty simple to make, and when you serve it up with some crusty bread for dunking, it makes a great meal on a rainy evening. If that recipe looks good to you, just know that I always use a chuck roast. I tried it once with the cut called for in the recipe, and it was far too tough. The chuck roast is better.
So that's about all from me. I'll bet you're envious of my trip to the dentist tomorrow, aren't you? Believe me, the envy will be all mine.
