I was busy this weekend beading.
I finished the Pod Ornament. These are a take off of the beaded stars and quicker to do. This is 3 sided and stuffed. Some are making them with 4 sides and stuffing them very puffy. Some make them with only 2 sides and not stuffed. I will be making these for Christmas and they will be 3 sides stuffed.
I have started another one and it will have 4 colors, a totally different pattern. So very glad that my hand seems to be back to almost normal, but normal enough to be able to bead.
Sunday was a day with sprinkles falling and the sun shining. The temp reached 85 so the door and sliders did not remain open for very long. All in all it was a nice day..... I did mention a shark...
I went to Macy's on Saturday morning for a gift and as I passed the small appliance area heading to the exit I spotted this vacuum. I have mentioned that my Bissell (7years old and still working perfectly) was feeling heavy to push. It was difficult to turn from rug to floor and the filters could not be washed but needed to be replaced every few months. This 11 pound stick vac moves easily and switches with a click from rug to floor and empties easily. The filters are washable. It swam around the house with little effort. Did I mention it was on sale, then I got another 10% off and a free Starbuck coffee? Did I mention that our Macy's has a tiny Café Starbucks as you enter the home section from the outside doors? All in all I am pleased with my errand. It will live in the garage but as it is new to the house I wanted it to feel welcome so in the kitchen it will be for a few days.
The Dove kids have been leaving the nest and sitting around in the garden and as soon as a parent returns with food back to the nest they go. Any day they will be ready to go off on their own.
Are you counting?? Do you know how many days are left? there are 8, yes only 8 days until the Brother Alan and Lisa are arriving. I am ready and waiting. I am sure you will hear from him when he is here.... especially since I have The Alan List ready! That about covers my pass days....glad you stopped by today. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
