A new discovery and stitching...

However,
the two (new discovery & stitching) have nothing to do with each other...
Gotcha' didn't I?
You were thinking this blog posting was going to be about a new stitching gadget or something, right?

{My New Discovery} Really the word yum doesn't do these justice.  They are yummy, scrumptious and delicious, but my plate wasn't long enough for a longer word....and have you ever tried making a word with nuts?
 Not the easiest thing to do,
so yum it is!

You are thinking this just looks like almonds...

but folks,

 these aren't just ordinary almonds,

they are flavored almonds!

To die for...

 

The dh brought home a bag of raspberry flavored ones on Saturday,

it was gone by Sunday.

I was feeling a little low in Vitamin E and foods rich in antioxidants,

so a trip to the grocery store was in need on Sunday.

I didn't tell the dh what the trip to the store was for,

nor did he tell me there were flavor choices of nuts...

 

There are raspberry, blueberry, strawberry,

hold your breath....

mocha, caramel macchiato and roasted coffee.

So, I spent Sunday stitching and snacking on almonds.  It was a nice mix.
   I made good progress on the Summer Sampler,
 and emptying my bags of almonds, too  :) 

A little peek at the Summer sampler,
tis full of green leafy things,
 all green and growing...

 

While stitching, I was distracted by  pieces of paper spread out around my feet on the floor in front of me,

(future designs and luscious silk flosses that are screaming, stitch me)

and

 urge to try the coffee flavored almonds... 

{sigh}

 

I have this problem when I'm stitching.

I always want to be stitching something other then what I'm stitching...

Anyone else have this problem?

But,

being the disciplined person that I am,

 I told myself that I would treat myself to the coffee flavored almonds

 in celebration of the finish

of the

Summer Sampler. 

 

Now,

 off to eat some almonds...

I figured since I fingered all the ones for the photo shoot,

 I had better eat those, right? 

It wouldn't be right

 putting them back into the bag for the dh to eat
after I touched them....
Nope,
that would not be right.

 

Hope your week isn't too nutty,
