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.

Boy, do I ever agree with you about the time flying by!! It's Friday already?? I love your stitchery and the wreath is fabulous!! I personally think it takes real talent to make a handsome wreath!! :-))
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!
Wow! You have been busy! Love it all!
Lovely stitches and a beautiful wreath! Gorgeous fall weekend... looking forward to seeing pics of your hike and antique adventures!
What a lovely treat to have the lavender inside. Will smell oh so good!
great sachet and wreath! I am terrible at any sort of flower arranging...your looks perfect...I need some more of those hours in the day too...a few to create and a few to sleep...
Sweet little finish and I'm lovin' your wreath.
