<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Been awhile since I last posted, just too busy in the garden and outside. Trying to keep on top of the weeds, but we've had so much rain it is hard to get into the vegetable garden without sinking. Good excuse anyway. I should make some covers for my knees so my pants don't get so muddy crawling around in the dirt.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Made these Mug Rugs some time ago, but decided I needed something to post.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fronts and backs, a couple are just in time for the Calgary Stampede coming up next week.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of the Calgary Stampede, I have 3 old post cards from my Grandma Pearl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My maternal grandparents were married in Calgary July 1912, and must have returned in September for the first Stampede. Rumors are Grandma raced her horse there but I am not certain of that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember these postcards pinned on a bulletin board in the upstairs bedroom. They were one of the things I wanted when Grandma moved from her house. Kind of faded and one has something on it, but don't know how to clean it, so it can stay that way for now.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I never knew my Grandfather, he died 1939, and my Grandmother always seemed old. She was quite the cowgirl and had her own cattle brand when she was 16 in 1904 before Alberta was even a province. I still have that brand registered to me. I've got those gloves she is wearing and another white beaded leather pair also. Picture taken 1903.</span></div>

I had a bunch of partial balls and just wound them all up, used 3.5mm (3 U.S.) (10 Canadian) knitting needles.

<span style="font-size: large;">I am excited to say I sold my last 8 mug rugs, all to the same person. Now I have an excuse to make more. I have one in the works for a friend turning 60 next week, but for some reason I had a hard time coming up with a design. Now that I am working on it, it seems to be coming together. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I counted the different varieties of frying pans I have recently when I added a red cast iron enamel grill to my hanging rack. I've got 17, that's not counting the 2 or 3 I have in the trailer for camping.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although most aren't technically frying pans that's what I call them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are 4 cast iron ones - an 8 incher with a wooden handle, another 8 inch one, a 10 inch my husband had when he was single 40 years ago, and a nice big 12 inch Ware from my parents, oh and an old 8 inch Wagner Ware round griddle I bought at a garage sale. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The 11 inch red enamel</span> <span style="font-size: large;">grill has a panini press that I've used for steak. Cooks really fast.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was super excited when I found the green 10 inch Le Creuset enamel braiser for $1.00 at another garage sale. Came with a glass lid.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8 inch turquoise Le Creuset at another garage sale.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There's a cast aluminum Danish Ebelskiver pan with 7 round indents for apple pancake balls. Haven't used that one yet, but it looks interesting. I think I found it at the re-cycle take it or leave it in town. Guess I should look up a recipe online.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 different sized nice deep ones for those really big one pot meals that seem to get bigger as they cook. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">An 11 inch square light weight grill that works perfectly for frying bacon. Have to watch the heat though. Got that with points a few years ago at Co-op. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 copper bottomed stainless steel ones that came with my Martha Stewart pot set, 8 and 10 inches.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8RAHGpeKD1UJxlFlOaebXFrmT2qcxg2MRCdV2JJbD9Ea5W8Vl-ZxFzrwxvv4oCacd8RsKcbKGk5k4oDPn_JD_JRWXoe7hT0UUA3ilDpD2eBYXKbHGl6kbYiRDRsum2PVYf_QPEefQhhtG/s1600/P1050511_edited-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8RAHGpeKD1UJxlFlOaebXFrmT2qcxg2MRCdV2JJbD9Ea5W8Vl-ZxFzrwxvv4oCacd8RsKcbKGk5k4oDPn_JD_JRWXoe7hT0UUA3ilDpD2eBYXKbHGl6kbYiRDRsum2PVYf_QPEefQhhtG/s640/P1050511_edited-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A 4 inch steel one that's so old it is blackened and crusty. Never used it but I like the looks of it too, can't remember where I got it, probably a garage sale. I'm curious to know why it has an 8 stamped on the handle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And lastly an 8 inch steel Comal tortilla pan I bought in Yuma Arizona last year, and yes I have used it a few times to make corn tortillas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The stainless stand with holes is for cooking stuffed jalapenos on the BBQ. Used it a few times, works good. My sister-in-law gave it to me for Christmas, thanks Judy B.</span>Birdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14063853523757654633noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548489762417414404.post-66769411364978582512011-11-07T11:12:00.000-07:002011-11-07T11:12:42.612-07:002011 Goodreads Choice Awards<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody>

Managed to get 11 more flowers attached, total is now 101. The trouble is that my arms can't get any longer, so I will have to find a new way to photograph my growing garden. Maybe I'll have to stand on a chair next time.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Not too much new, the garden is almost cleaned up, most of the lawn furniture is put away, now just waiting for snow. We had a tiny bit the other day, but melted almost as soon as it hit the ground. The colder weather is a good excuse to do some sewing anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The other day I made 12 crumb squares.They are 6.5 inches but I see by the picture I did not trim the side of one yet. Good way to use up small scraps, but my scrap box never seems to get any emptier.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">With shorter days, the sun is rising later and has made for some beautiful sun rises. Although sometimes it is difficult to capture. I see it, have to get on a coat, shoes, grab my camera and get to the edge of the yard so I have a clear shot. I headed outside before the sun was up, missed my planned shot but caught the sun just behind the neighbour's farm.</span><br />

Traveled to Salmon Arm, where we spent the night. Bought some cheese at Gort's Gouda and visited a new winery called Ovino, very good white wine. To Kelowna, for another night and lunch at Freddy's Brew Pub.Then off to Penticton for 3 nights, my favourite place out there. My brother and his wife drove out and met us in Penticton. We spent the next couple of days doing wine tastings at some of the many wineries there now. Found good deals on fruit and vegetables also and brought back a couple boxes of goodies.<br />
<br />
I remember the first time we went to the wine festival in Penticton over 20 years ago, there were little wineries selling wine out of their garages, now most of them have built fancy tasting rooms. The wines aren't much better but the prices are getting ridiculous. We pick and choose our favourites who haven't inflated their prices too much.<br />
<br />
I got 5 hexies done on the road, and 8 added to the top when we got home. The total is 75 now.<br />

Just north of Keremeos there was a bear along the side of the road eating chokecherries. Lots of cars were stopped and people wee taking pictures. We got out and took some too, but there was one woman who walked right up to tree, before we told her to be careful, she was too close.<br />

Realized I didn't put any lace or tatting on it, but did lots of embroidery. Tried ribbon embroidery with some I had on hand, liked it so much I got some real silk ribbon on E-Bay. It is so light it should be much easier to work with. </span><br />

<br />
<b>Banana Muffins (makes 12 muffins)<br />
</b><br />
3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)<br />
1/2 cup white sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup, but I don’t like them too sweet)<br />
1 slightly beaten egg<br />
1/3 cup melted margarine or butter<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 1/2 cups flour<br />
Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 degrees F oven for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy!<br />
*These are much more flavourful the next day, and they freeze very nicely too!<br />
*Also, if you like walnuts, you can throw a handful of those in there as well for some added flavour and texture, or try adding chocolate chips, or better yet, BOTH! Yum <img alt=":-D" class="wp-smiley" src="http://www.catcancook.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't this a pretty little plate. I found it in my china cabinet while looking for a plate to photograph my muffin on. Forgot I even had it, must have bought it at a garage sale.</span><br />

With having the grand kids from Winnipeg and Calgary coming for a visit, gardening, camping and just generally being busy with summer, I haven't sewn much. I did do 3 more embroidered centres. I used patterns from Diana Lampe's book Embroider A Garden, that I borrowed from he library. Liked the book so much I bought a used one from Better World Books, through Biblio.com. Although a different title (Embroidery From the Garden), I am sure it will provide lots of inspiration. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of Better World Books, the shipping rate was so low, $1.97 to Canada, I almost can't believe it. Check them out at BetterWorldBooks.com. </span><br />

Oh well, maybe I just put them away somewhere and will have to search them out.</span>Birdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14063853523757654633noreply@blogger.com1
