Friday Finish!


It seems the weeks go by too fast, I am just starting with all my plans for the week and the next thing I know, it is friday. I need more hours in the day;)

This week I worked on the stitchery from Kathy's One Stitch Club. This is an older one and I finally got around to making some. I wanted to try it as a lavender sachet that people could use in their drawers, so I made a few but this is the only one I finished today, took a while to get the cording around the edge. My hands seem to have stiffened and with the nerves, they just don't work like they used to, so work is a bit slower these days.

I wish I could have gotten a better photo, but flash really brightens  up colors, it is a bit prim but also bright since I want it as a gift for linens, but I think it would be fun in prim too. I didn't go by the exact stitches, I am lazy and kept it simple;)


Since I had to go to the store to get cording, I grabbed some things to make a wreath. The fall things are all on sale and I had a 20% coupon. I had an old twig wreath, so I got one swag and tied it down to the wreath with twine so it doesn't show, added a few decorative picks and instant wreath for my door.


This weekend is going to be nice and I have lots of plans. Tomorrow will be stopping at the upper areas to see foliage, a river walk in Ct. and if I have the energy, a short hike to a cliff for views of Ct. I may crash after the river walk, not sure how long it is and the town is also a mecca for antique stores, so I may be tempted to check out the stores;) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Time flies around here too. I do think your stitchery is pretty and fancy enough. Results don't lie.

Debbie, your lavender sachet is quite lovely. We find time flies by, too, and i often wonder if it's an age thing or just a sign of how busy we are. Enjoy your weekend outing.

Lovely sachet and refurbishing of your old wreath Debbie.

A windstorm hit my area, but I'm about 1 1/2 hours away and quieter here. Major outages and trees down, ah October storms.

Grey and cloudy, off to sew for the day!
