In the weeks that was

So six weeks of  the  New Year has gone by and this week ended rather much quickly since my working week  began only on Wednesday, thanks to the two days public holiday. Ever curious that I haven't mentioned any stitching or crafting related stuff all these weeks? I did took sometime pondering on some stuff thou, kids, work, crafting and me. I even considered signing a SAL but chicken out at the very last minute to officially SAL with the Wipocalypse , because I couldn't bring myself to list out all my UFOs. So, I thought maybe I'll do it ' unofficially'. It would be a great  accomplishment to see some finishes by year end. I just can't imagined the UFO's I had until I went ransacking, nevertheless, I am happy to report 'unofficially' that I completed my first, the Stitching LHN Needlework RR.

and a quickie,  the one of the two Christmas pieces that I didn't get to finish because of something came up. This is on a teadyed 16 count aida  remnant.
A bit of a progress on Believe, this I intend to get it done before August if not at ASAP! Its long overdue since its was suppose to be done by August last.
Lastly, Love Birds,  a freebie from  here , which is simply an adorable Valentine theme, on belfast white 32 count.
I shall end this week's post with a bake from this afternoon, Pineapple Upside Down Cake. It turned out beautifully, the cake base soft and moist. I took a shortcut with Phillsbury Moist Supreme cake mix, work accordingly with the box instruction. For the pineapple caramel topping :  1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar.
Here's wishing everyone, Happy Valentine's Day  !
