So! The stroganoff was excellent, and a recipe from this book. If you like stroganoff, certainly give it a try!

Now, I have to show you my back-tack 3 project! I am bad with rules and timelines, but my partner Beki of Artsy Crafty Babe should get it in time. I also received an amazing package from my partner Tami of Lemon Tree Tales. It deserves and will get its very own post this weekend.

I went with a pattern they chose from Australian Good Housekeeping, and added pink to the black and white:

To sneakily add in her initial, I embroidered the eyes in "b" shapes

the legs are held on by buttons covered with pink and white seersucker, and the arms held on by plain pink buttons. The center of the bunny's flower necklet is also a button. I sewed on a vintage lace applique to break up the black on the bunny's back.

I won't show you the extras I sent, as I don't want to spoil it if Beki hasn't gotten the package yet!

In other news, there has been a fair amount of movie watching over here, as I like "company" while I work on crafty things. Yesterday I watched Tristan & Isolde. I highly recommend it to all romantic period movie lovers out there. Much like the more recent King Arthur, it tries to be "authentic" historically. They clearly spent a lot of money on it, and the acting and writing are both very good and not at all cheesy for the most part. Thumbs up.

Also-- has anyone seen this new BBC America series Hex? After watching the 2-hour series debut, I feel another guilty pleasure coming on...and thank goodness, as my original guilty-pleasure witchy show Charmed has gone downhill over the past few years, and I believe ends altogether this year?
