Tah-Dah!! MLQ is Finished!

Finally a picture of my completed My Lady's Quaker! I still can't believe I finished it!

I know it doesn't look straight in the picture but it is. I still have it attached to the stretcher bars. Now that I have taken the final picture I can remove it. Like I mentioned DH is going to make a frame for me with glass. I will show a picture when it is all framed and ready to hang. I think I may hang it here in my craft room. I still haven't painted it but may be able to soon.
 Today is Mardi Gras and I am making Dirty Rice with Smoked Sausage for dinner tonight. I made this last year for the first time and my family said it was good and ate it. I use Turkey Smoked Sausage to cut down on the fat a little.  I bought a small King Cake this weekend so that will be for dessert.
 I remember when I was in New Orleans (not at Mardi Gras time) and first saw the name "dirty rice". I was like Ewwww lol  Not a very appealing name but I get it now. The kind I saw there had chicken gizzards in it which does make it look "dirty". The recipe I am making has no gizzards and that is just fine with me!

 I am almost done stitching for one exchange then I will start the other. I am also trying to decide if I want to start "Little House Neighborhood" by LHN now or work on another of my WIPS. I did sign up for a challenge with BeckySC in which I have until December 31st to finish the LHN so maybe I should start it.

I hope you all had a great weekend and got lot's of stitching time in!

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments & for stopping by :)
