Nostalgic Floss – Kitted-Out 2 cross stitch patterns

By

I decided to use up some of my embroidery stash by finding patterns and kitting them out myself. I rather enjoy doing it this way.
Some years back, I inherited several skeins of floss. As I was sorting the floss, I thought there might be some I could use. I noticed something so nostalgic that it made my heart smile. The prices on the floss were 3/10¢, 5¢, 12¢. Ahhh, the good-old-days. 🧵🪡
I looked through my patterns in hopes of finding one I had all the floss required. I found two that I couldn’t choose between, so I kitted them both out.

I immediately liked “Snowball Glass by Maria Brovko” cross stitch pattern when I saw it way back in 2020. The big bonus was it was free.
I think “Flower Winter Bird Cross Stich by nathnolu ” is so charming. It was easy to find the pattern for sale.

Now when the mood hits to cross stitch, I’m ready for it. I wonder how long it’ll take me. Years perhaps or sooner. I never know about me.😁

Wishing you all good moods and happy crafting.

 

Egg-in-a-hole – childhood favorite

By

I had a craving for a favorite childhood breakfast of an egg-in-a-hole. Keto Hawaiian bread has a really good taste to it toasted, so I figured it might be okay to use with this.
I was right, it was good, plus, I realized, that the keto Hawaiian bread, egg and the bit of butter equaled to about 10 carbs. I think that isn’t a bad amount for a nostalgic tasty breakfast.

Wishing you all a happy nostalgic Wednesday.

Wednesday – nailed it

By

It’s 52°F rainy and dreary.
I don’t have anything much to post about, so I thought I’d share a photo that I took way-back in 2008.
I’ve always liked this photo, I don’t know why though, perhaps because it’s simple and rustic looking to me.

 

I wish you all a nice rest of the week.

I’m doing several crafting projects right now. Over the past few days I’ve brought several supplies into my kitchen to have handy. I use the top of my sewing cabinet to hold my supplies until I need them. The supplies have piled up and at first glance look like chaos.

 Wishing you all fun with the WP photo challenge!

What kinds of experiences stir emotions for the past within you?

Baking a cake always makes me feel nostalgic and always makes me miss my Mom.
My Mom was one of the best cook and bakers that I’ve ever known. I’ve so many fond memories of her culinary creations.
Whenever Mom would put a cake in the oven, she’d warn us not to walk heavy, jump, stomp or run through the house because it would make the cake fall.
With a smile in my heart for Mom, I usually ask my family to walk lightly when I have a cake in the oven.

 Wishing you all sweet nostalgic thoughts
& fun with the WP photo challenge!

*Just a note
I’m guessing a store-bought box cake mix wouldn’t be as apt too fall because they’re so mathematically engineered for maximum results.
I suppose a cake made from scratch with plain flour, baking soda or baking powder might have a bigger chance of falling.
