Friday Finishes!


This week I finished two things, a stitchery block and the newest ornament of the month.

The ornament is offered by Attic Heirlooms and you can get it for free each month. This month was a candle and I kept it simple, but I may add something to it, later on. Maybe when Christmas buttons come back, I can find something fun to add to them.


The stitchery is a free pattern set, offered by Theodora Cleave. I really love working on these, the designs are fun and they just make me happy when I work on them. There are seven garden blocks, so once I am done, then I will decide a layout for them.

This week I have been looking at vacation places. We had planned on a vacation to celebrate our 40th anniversary, now I just want to get away and relax so trying to find something on the water, allows dogs and doesn't cost a fortune. I also like a nice kitchen and bed, I am not into dirty places;) So, at this rate, I may not find anything or if I do, it will be booked for that week. I have found some but it seems they never answer my emails, not too sure how good home away is?

    Darling little candle ornament! And I love that stitchery. Good luck finding a place - most are so expensive. 40 years, wow, congratulations!

    I hope your holiday works out. Finding place that allows dogs can be tricky ... and the last place we went, I slept in my van with the dog while the rest were in the hotel. Congrats on the finishes. They are sweet.

    Are you going to use the wool ornaments for decorating your tree or do you have something else in mind?
    Forty years is an accomplishment. You deserve a little get-away.

    We have used both Home Away and VRBO and found both of them to be quite good.
