Happy Friday

DS's coming home from college for the weekend so I've been busy baking cookies today. I also made some bread in the bread maching that I'll slice and freeze in small packets for him to take back to school.

I get to join some of my buddies for a stitching day tomorrow so I'm baking rosemary foccacia for that. Yum! The house smells good. Unfortunately, it's warm and humid so it was hot in the kitchen.

On the stitching front, I started (finally, I've had it in my stash for a long time) LK's Harvest Blessings. Maybe I'll even have it stitched and framed for next Thanksgiving. I also worked some more on my bap. Since I liked the BC Sow Kind Seeds so much, I thought I should start one for myself since I already have the threads pulled for the other one for the exchange.

I have a couple of finishes too...the church from the Town Square freebies (Trilogy) and LHN's Joy to the World ornament. Both were just about finished wips. It sure feels good to finish some!

Stitching, etc.

I finished a model and mailed out a model this week so I got to return to my personal stitching.

I finished LHN's Winter Band Sampler. Such a pretty design! I almost forgot...I also stitched a Sanman freebie called Love, Love, Love for a heart sal for a stitching group I'm in.

I worked a bit on my bap (Village Square Sampler by Samplers Remembered) and started a Celtic themed piece that I've been meaning to start since we lived in Dublin, OH. (We moved away from there almost 10 years ago.)

It's still unusually cold for our area and my walking buddy and I have enjoyed our invigorating am walks. Brrrrr!

TGIF

It's been a busy week but I have a slow day and an empty house today. That's nice every once in a while.

DS is on his way back to college. I'm thinking the respectful thing to do would to wait at least a day before converting it into my craft room....but I may take a few things up there today. ;-)

It's been unseasonable "cold" here this week. (I'm from the Midwest so this doesn't really qualify to be called cold but, oh well.) The am walks have been nice and I've enjoyed turning on my oven and making comfort food. Today it's already starting to warm up. Seize the moment, right?

I've been working on 3 things this week, a chocolate themed block for a block exchange (designer Casey B--can never spell her last name), my bap sampler, and LHN Winter Band Sampler. I'm "into" cardinals lately and this one just called to me. I may even finish and frame it before it's had time to properly "ripen".

Until next time..........
