So to take my mind off things I figure I'd stitch

Will I made it it was a interesting visit where do I start I showed up 40 minutes early I was seen 30 minutes late lol the reception was like I told them your here I told her don't worry I'm fine I had my wonderful stitch case with me so the nurse finally came got me said I'm sorry they was doing training on the machine he said he was like hey we got a body we need to tend to and went out to get prep me so i thought they needed to go thru my leg but they could take pics with their ct machine which sounded good at first then the tech goes we will lower your heart which could cause electrical shocks from my pacemaker lower rates better pics the nurse in the room was for safety so they didnt go to low the nurse goes he's kinda low we shouldn't give nitro it will drop him to low the tech goes so we cant give him nitro i told the nurse call my heart doctor he knows my heart best so luckly he did my doctor on phone. No nitro don't lower tech so we cant lower for better pics they hang up little times passes tech so we cant lower omg lol nurse no his numbers averaging 75 just take the pics at this level so that's all done with I'm home been 2 months so I stopped off got some fried chicken hahaha I don't eat it but once in a great while 2 weeks I get to get the cd of the visit

Our driveway look’s naked…we pulled all but a few zinnias out today, I cut some to bring in the house..the rest will probably be gone by the end of the week, the hot/dry weather wasn’t their friend…

(With Orange Cream Cheese Frosting)
Another recipe that I think would be great for the holidays, or anytime, company or not.

Easy Orange Breakfast Pull Apart Loaf

INGREDIENTS
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons orange zest about 2 oranges, depending on size
2 cans refrigerated biscuits preferably Grands
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) melted

CREAM CHEESE-ORANGE GLAZE
4 oz. cream cheese softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted
2 tablespoons orange juice

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine the sugar and orange zest, until thoroughly combined. Separate biscuits and dip each biscuit in melted butter, then coat in the sugar mixture. Place biscuits standing up in a 9 x 5-inch or 10 x 5-inch loaf pan.
Repeat until all of the biscuits are in the pan, squeezing in as many as will fit. If they don’t all fit save extra biscuits for another use. Place loaf pan on baking sheet to prevent any butter from bubbling out of pan onto oven.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
Allow to cool 5 minutes in pan before removing.
Combine softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, mixing until smooth, then add orange juice. Drizzle over loaf while biscuits are warm.
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

TIPS
To fit all 16 Grands biscuits, use a 10 x 5-inch loaf pan.
This recipe is very forgiving, use fewer biscuits for a smaller loaf pan or halve the recipe and use just one can of biscuits.
You can also separate your biscuit layers before dipping in butter and rolling in your sugar mixture for smaller ‘pull apart’ servings.
Substitute any canned biscuits for Grands if that’s what you have; they won’t bake up as tall as Grands but will be just as good.
You can also make this in a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan and serve as a breakfast ring.
You may have some sugar and melted butter left over. You can drizzle remaining sugar and butter over top of biscuits before baking, but make sure you place your loaf pan on a baking sheet to prevent butter from bubbling over top of pan to save on clean up.
When zesting oranges (as with any citrus) use only colored peel not the white pith which is bitter.

Good Tuesday morning everyone. Still having that wonderful streak of warm weather. Today is Bryan's eye doctor appointment. After that he's doing car cosmetics and I'm off to Jo Ann for knitting supplies. Thank you for the advice Kathy and Hayjax. I think it will be fun to learn something new. Hope you all have a good Tuesday.

Hello everyone! It's the beginning of the month, and a holiday weekend (Labor Day) for those of us here in the U.S..

As we always do at the beginning of the month, let's post our current WIPs and recent finishes. I've only been on the board a few times in recent weeks -- I'm sure I've missed some WIPs and finishes that have been posted, so am looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

I'll post mine sometime later today (waiting for better lighting and time to unroll it from the scroll frame).

Take best care,
MaryV

I have decided it time for our vacation. That way I can get my mind off of my stepfather.
So have decided we can go to the mountains. Also, we can see the leaves change to fall colors. Blueeyes said she will be being milk bones. All pets are welcome. I will be being the pears. All right so who is with me and Blueeyes on this vacation.
This a pretend vacation. I know he got a 50 50 chance that he will not make it.

Finally starting hand quilting this wall hanging. I hope it gets easier. I liked the hand appliquéing part. I starting machine quilting it and didn’t like it. I just picked that out.
