Happy St. Patrick's Day

I'm a little late today wishing you a happy green day.  We had our corned beef and cabbage last night.  Not sure why I did that instead of waiting for today.  But it was so good.  I knew there were two cuts, flat and point cut. But this year I see that our stores had a "round" cut. OMG it was the best I've ever had and talk about tender.  If you love corned beef you should try this cut if you ever see it at your stores. Ok, that was your cooking lesson for the day. 

Been working on a few things.  I started this on Friday.  I now have them all buttonholed.  Instead of doing the stitching in black I matched it to each color. 

I love my Aurifil threads.  Every color you can imagine for embroidery.  

Pillows are my newest obsession.  I keep buying them and making them.  It takes forever to get the bed ready for sleep at night.  But I love them!!  This one I used Pam Kitty's LOVE fabric and just cut 2 1/2" squares.  Boom, you got yourself a pillow. I love that black fabric.  It is so pretty. I used it on the back too.

This week I bought some daffodils at Trader Joe's. They were still closed. The gal said that they shipped them to Trader's dry.  Or else they would bloom on the way.  I was afraid they would never bloom if I bought them. She said take them home, put them in hot water in your vase and they will bloom.  Dog gone if they didn't!!!  Guess she knew her flowers.  And the good part, they were only $1.69 for a bunch.  I think I bought four bunches. 

I see I haven't really shown much green in honor of St. Patrick's day.  :(  But there's the green vase and that little bitty green basket up there at the top. 

Hope you had a green day!!!!  Off to wait for my Boo and his cute little fiance to arrive.  They should be here soon.

Did I hear you say fiance??? Welll either you've kept this hush hush or I've been asleep at the wheel (probably the second) I have not been with it, but congratulations and I look forward to more things being talked about the wedding as the weeks go by :)
