KEPT THE NEEDLES BUSY--

 Had another busy week with the needles--working on all kinds of projects--

Of --course-- I pretty much start each day off with counted cross stitching--and got a second Christmas cross stitch done--

a little Gingerbread house--design done by Melisa--thanks Melisa!!

For sewing--

I got two more of last year's blocks made into wall hangings from Melisa's BOM--this one is either July or August one and--

is the other month---Thanks Melisa!!

As this months was not done in time--I did display this one-

also by Melisa-it was an extra one she gave us last year--and I think it is so funny that Diann of Little Penquin Quilts also hung this one up this month!!

And a new block by Melisa was embroidered this month--

I just love that little 'chick' at the bottom---and then I even got it made into a pillow--

So spring and summer looking--thanks again Melisa!!

And one Christmas 'ufo' got finished this past week--

I believe that this one is from Joy a year or so ago!!

And a couple more baby sweaters got finished--here is one of them--

I did have a couple 'outing' this past week or so--

One was to the local library where I discovered a sale room and all books were only a $1--I came home with these two--

I need to get back there and look some more!!

Then a friend and I went out one day this week for lunch and we stopped at a Thrift store and these items told me they wanted to come and live with me--

First this store was all decked out for Christmas--they had about 6 trees all decorated and one whole  aisle full of christmas stuff--

I only got 2 Christmas items--

this cute little scene for 99 cents--

This red wool plaid Cardinal--49 cents

For Fall I got a couple things--

these were 49 cents each--

And I found some pretty glass pieced--all clear color--

this is heavy glass and soooo pretty and about--5" high--and it was $2.99--

and this little glass containers-- my new sugar spoons fit in it nicely-- this was only 59 cents--

and this pretty glass etched plate--would make a cute 'cookie' plate--this one was 99 cents--

And yesterday a friend and I went to Publix and when we got done we popped into Bealls and this came home with me--

Yep--another hat--I do have a blank area on my wall with the hats--so this is where I plan to hang this one--just have to decide if I am putting a ribbon on it or leaving it as is??????

I am still working on a couple other Christmas projects--but not finished yet--so you will have to wait on those--

KEEP ENJOYING NATURE AND KEEP WANTING TO DO MORE AND MORE PROJECTS--LET THOSE SQUIRRELS TALK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HUGS, DI
