Can't believe it is Friday!

This week really has passed me by. Maybe it is the crazy weather here in Arizona. First we are in a freeze warning and the overnights were cold...then it warmed up then we actually had a day of 70. We had some rain and now they say we should have more this weekend. Why would I be surprised; it is winter after all and this is what is winter here. The high country had snow. Speaking of the high country... the end of December Shelly's post began with song lyrics and she asked who knew them and I was the first to comment and I won...yes, a gift certificate to 123 Stitch! What a surprise. I already took a look and found several Mill Hill beaded kits...now to make my selection. Shelly is one of those who is in the high country and gets snow. 
I also ordered the coating for my Russian Leave earrings. I plan to use it on other beaded projects that could be better if stiffer; my Santa earrings for example. Yesterday I began to get the garage straightened out. Amazing what the Holiday Faeries did out there. Trash pick up was today so that made it a good day to bag and toss. Some of the garden debris too. The Brother Alan and I have new plans for the pond. One of these days I will get to show you; that will be when he is back out here in a few months. I am sure looking forward to their return. I know they are eager to be here.
Do any of you follow Jenny's blog? She writes such a lovely blog and designs beautiful things. Her embroidery is so lovely. I always feel relaxed visiting Jenny. Stop over when you have a few minutes. 
Well it seems that the House Faeries are not coming to clean today so it will be my turn. It is always so nice to chat with you. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words. Thank you for your friendship. If the Faeries are at your place please remind them to stop here!

They did not stop here but emailed to say they got stuck in a snow bank and will have to wait until spring to get out. Guess we have to clean ourselves. big hugs

The house faeries have not stopped by here! I wish they would though. Glad you found some things to purchase at 123stitch, my favorite store. The weather is quite crazy, isn't it? Now it's supposed to rain! Hope your weekend is a good one!

Well done on winning Grace, good that you found something you liked. I've shopped with them a few times and they offer a really good service.

Greetings Gracie: I looked at your earrings from the last post they are lovely, I have not done much beading or stitching, the kitchen is torn apart and my sewing room is torn apart, we are putting some of the cabinets from the kitchen in my sewing room.
I do follow Jenny, she has amazing designs and display's them so well for us to view.
Congratulations on the win, I am looking forward to seeing which Mill Hill's you choose.
