I just happened to notice Jennifer's fabulous chef with her curls and amazing hat when I was writing this.  I thought you'd like to see French knot curls in action (with some woven picots added in I think).

Three Darling --and Finished-- Birds

Ruth Schmuff shows off three ways to finish "Emma's Darling Bird" which was a mystery class at Bedecked and Beaddazzled last year. The design is from Kimberly.

If you have a fourth way to finish this cutie in your mind's eye, you can order the guide and canvas from Ruth's shop. Bet Ruth will kit it out for you if you ask nicely, too!

TOTALLY Off Topic (and Strange)

I like to read all sorts of blogs and sometimes I discover something classic. 
http://www.midcenturymenu.com/2016/02/beef-fudge1967-a-vintage-recipe-test/

As a mid-century modern baby, I grew up with oddities like this on the table.  I thought I didn't like cheese until I was in college because I'd never eaten anything except Velveeta but labor-saving and economic food were a staple in many family meals in the 1950-60s. (The time my mother mixed lime Jello, cottage cheese, apple sauce and 7-Up is a classic story in my family. It's the only item my mother never served as leftovers, it was so horrible.)

I think this explains a lot about me.  LOL

Enjoy this totally off-topic item.  And if you make it, don't tell anyone I told you about it!
