A - Z of Bullion Embroidery by Country Bumpkin. Do you know of any others good bullion embroidery books I might refer them to that's still being published?

But what about purchasing one of those tiny bright lights and giving it a home in there? :)<br /><br />Those tomatoes look gorgeous. Buying them from your neighbor is a great example of "buying local", and I would do exactly the same.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-4792155598999218052012-08-26T09:39:39.522-04:002012-08-26T09:39:39.522-04:00I'm so glad to read your thoughts again, Bunny...I'm so glad to read your thoughts again, Bunny. My heart ached for you as I thought about the mess with which you've had to cope since the pipe burst. Gracious! Question about the tomatoes: What do you mean by, "...until they are caramelized..."? With the house repair, sewing of the bag, and the freezing of the tomatoes, you are one BUSY lady!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-14104469327025381632012-08-26T06:50:00.624-04:002012-08-26T06:50:00.624-04:00True confessions: I did not grow these gorgeous to...True confessions: I did not grow these gorgeous tomatoes. DH and I decided that our Amish neighbor's vegetables, which he sells and relies on to make his living, are far superior to what we have ever been able to produce. So this is the first year we have forgone our veggie garden. I get my produce from Mr. Kiem and it is always gorgeous and wonderfully priced. I don't know his secrets but even in this horrible drought we are having up here, his veggies are gorgeous. We are really glad about that decision and have tried to concentrate more on the landscaping. This drought has done a number on that too!

Your tomatoes look wonderful and I too love tomatoes roasted in the oven with onion and garlic (I make a pasta dish out of them).<br /><br />Enjoy your first project following the restoration of your room.pdiddlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231666147175522583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-21219500877013345072012-08-25T22:41:34.668-04:002012-08-25T22:41:34.668-04:00I got way behind in blog reading and just caught u...I got way behind in blog reading and just caught up with you. I'm so sorry about your flooding. What a long process it is to restore things and get your space back. I hope it goes smoothly for you!<br />The handbag should be a good project to work on during this time. It looks like it's going to be really nice.Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-22250646444630828712012-08-25T22:04:59.637-04:002012-08-25T22:04:59.637-04:00That bag will be just gorgeous, but I do have my d...That bag will be just gorgeous, but I do have my doubts about the lining. But if you think it's the perfect lining, then what can you do? You just have to go for it! <br /><br />I only have one tomato plant and have frozen some after peeling and stewing a bit. The roasting sounds intriguing, I think I may give your method a try. I'm so tired of canning, it just isn't right to be boiling so much water during the hottest days of the year!Cynthia Gilbrethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124840580430749378noreply@blogger.com
