A Doe, A Deer




And Heaven and Nature Sing

The last time I shared my progress on this piece AppleJack said it looked like a coffeetable with wonky legs.  Hopefully this time it looks more like a deer.  There is still work to be done.  At least the deer has all four legs and a head.
Music City aka Nashville, like other parts of the country has been experiencing some bitter cold temps and we currently have eight inches on snow on the ground, a record.  Time to hunker down with warm wool socks and stitch. 
Here is a recipe for killer Hot Chocolate recipe I found on Pinterest, very tasty and loaded. 



Polar Express Hot Chocolate
1.5 cups heavy cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
6 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Needlework, cold temps and snow, warm socks and hot chocolate--try to find the best about each season and enjoy it.

  3. WOW talk about hot chocolate ummmm - godiva liquor is the only thing missing! Love your Heaven and Nature. Now this is the weekend for WOOL - knitting, rug hooking or even working on my vintage needlepoint rug so I can be covered up under it. Enjoy and be safe - Mel

  10. I just printed out the hot chocolate recipe. No self-control in our house, so I may have to halve it-lol. Your deer is coming along beautifully.

  16. Gained 10 pounds just reading that hot chocolate recipe - sounds heavenly & would work well in northern Wisconsin too! Your prancing deer is going to be lovely - he all ready looks so graceful and elegant.
