Taking time for myself. That is what
May is all about. I have definitely been taking care of myself since my knee surgery. I went to physical therapy which was okay while doing it but then last night my knee was really aching and it was hard to sleep. I know it is going to take time and I am trying to be patient.
Because May brings my wedding anniversary, 36 years yesterday, I decided to take time to make some very rich dessert from a new cookbook I bought last month. It is called Pots De Creme. You can also get this recipe from
The Pioneer Woman Cooks. It was really quick and easy and I didn't have to be on my knee to long. My husband loved it.
The one thing I have taken the time to do on the internet is check my Bingo card. I have sewed on some vintage black buttons while I would ice my knee on the spaces that have been called so far.
I have finally replied to all your get well comments which I so appreciate. It warms my heart. So now I am finally feeling like doing some hand work. I think I will work on my
Harrington and Hannah BOM. If you haven't seen it yet, the new block is now available.
So now I leave you with this beautiful Iris photo because when you are recuperating from surgery you really do have time to smell the flowers!
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Praying for a speedy recovery, Carrie, and for good night's sleep.
Happy Anniversary! My 36th anniversary is coming up in Sept.
Ok lots on your blog so here goes-glad your feeling better, I love PW and just got her 2nd cookbook, Im sewing orange buttons on my bingo card, and that iris is gorgeous!
Happy Anniversary!!! Hope you heal quickly!!
Happy Anniversary, Carrie!!!! Love Ree's recipes - never tried them but the book is just gorgeous, isn't it? I've been following her blog since she was unknown, lol! Therapy will sure make you ache, but you do as they tell you, you'll recover much quicker...but do keep the ice handy. I'm praying for your recovery, hon. That's a lovely iris!
So sorry about your knee. I hope you recover quickly. The iris is GORGEOUS! They're in my top 5 of favorite flowers.
Oh Carrie, I missed your last post about your knee surgery! Praying that you heal very quickly so you can get back to gardening and your sewing room!
Happy Anniversary!!! That iris is gorgeous!!!
That chocolate dessert looks so good Carrie. Happy Anniversary!
Sorry to hear about the aching, it is difficult to be patient.
I love that cookbook. Have you seen her blog http://thepioneerwoman.com/.
My daughter gets lots of recipes from this blog http://joythebaker.com/
Recovering from back surgery and knee injury + daughter who loves making desserts = too much me.
Happy Anniversary to you and your DH! 36 years, wonderful!!!
A beautiful Iris!
Take care and heal swiftly.
Happy Anniversary Carrie!
Sorry to hear about your knee.
I wish you a Speedy Recovery!
Happy Anniversary and best wishes on your knee/recovery. The irises are beautiful aren't they. I love when they bloom. I wish they would bloom more often. And I wish I had done the bingo with you girls.
I purchased that cookbook also. I really like it, especially all the photos in the recipes.
Happy Anniversary!
Gorgeous Iris photo!
You and Abby both had knee surgery! :o) I love cookbooks and trying new things. Gorgeous iris. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Wishing you a fast recovery; but always time to smell the flowers. Get well soon.
Hope your anniversary was every bit as sweet as wonderful as that dessert.

Pretty iris Miss Carrie. Mine are in bloom as well. How's that knee doing? I thought of you this morning hoping it's better.
Oh, that iris is just lovely! I have the Pioneer Woman's first cookbook-- it is so fabulous when one wants some decadent comfort food. But it sure isn't so great for the waistline! ;P
