I have today off.... I don't mind working Saturdays, but today I am happy to be off work. Spent some time yesterday helping my MOD get an area ready for the sale starting Sunday. Lots of re-wraps and re-organizing bolts of fabric. I feel it this morning in both arms and wrists!
Remember my trip to The Attic...
Love the threads.... to be used in an upcoming With Thy Needle and Thread project. And I just had to have the BBD --- For My Friend. Take a peek at a few of the projects in the book... a couple of cookie recipes too! Then Queen of quite a lot caught my eye by Scarlett House. It will be a nice pillow to add to my daybed.
Now, I do not have a studio, or a "sewing room" but what I do have is our guest bedroom that is always empty until someone comes to visit. So it has become my retreat/sewing room.
A comfy daybed for reading or watching TV. My sewing table folds compactly when not in use . Some of my needlework displayed on the walls, a small but full bookcase for books and shelves to display dolls and this and that. A nice large window that looks out to the front porch area (will have to show that another time...) and the closet with shelves with everything labelled. It is a pleasant place to stitch sew or just read. Mr H gladly hangs and adds shelves as needed. So, although it is not a studio or designated craft room, it is my retreat.
We are having a cold spell here in sunny Arizona. An expected freeze warning for the rest of the weekend has prompted Mr H and I to cover plants, bring others into the lanai or kitchen for warmth. We are hoping we do not loose a pretty and healthy Ficus tree just outside our back yard wall. Last night we put 2 yard spot lights into the branches and covered it the best we could from the bottom as it is a little to high for us to cover from the top. It will be a wait and see game. The day temps are in the high 50 low 60 range still. Well, I think it is time for another cup of coffee and maybe a little stitching...maybe I should take another look through For My Friend..... do you do that, just look again and again at a pretty book? Planning what to stitch first... or in this case which cookie recipe to try? It is just too darn early for all these decisions! First the brewing of my coffee then I can think better. I hope you all have a great day....
