Last day of 2010
What will you accomplish today? I am trying to decide between starting a small project tonight once the kids go to bed and finishing it at midnight or continuing a project that needs to be finished by March. What will you be stitching today?

Myrtle Grace Motifs needs your help!
Come join their Facebook page and vote on what to call this new little creation. Does she look like a Percy or a Penny? I love MGM's. They create their designs in both counted cross stitch and punch needle. I am especially into this design since my MIL collects Elephants and I've never seen one that I could stitch for her.....only 5 months till her B-day. I am thinking I will get this all kited up and take it to the hospital with me when I visit Bryn in the NICU. I can keep my hands busy while I spend some time with her.
Be sure to check out the Myrtle Grace Motifs Blog......I just found a great recipe for left over watermelon rind. I had no idea! This will be perfect once the watermelon are ready to be picked from the garden next year.

Heart Healthy Recipe by Myrtle Grace Motifs
Erin loves soup – especially this Quick Minestrone Soup. She and her mom used to make this when Erin's dad was away and we’d sit with some big thick oatmeal bread and dip it into the soup and be all warm and cozy! Erin suggests you double the veggies. Makes for great leftovers, is almost better the next day!
Quick Minestrone Soup
1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, sliced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery
1 large can (48 oz) chicken broth
1 cup water
1 or 2 chicken bullion cubes
1 can (15 1/2 oz) dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup medium shell or ditalini pasta, uncooked
1 cup frozen or canned Italian-style green beans
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated.
Combine all ingredients in Dutch oven except parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Cover; simmer for 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender. Grade parmesan cheese and sprinkle over each serving.
