thursday on my work table.....

Since the Chickasha Christmas retreat has been cancelled I thought I would  do a Christmas Stitching Journal for those of you who might of signed up for the retreat.  Even though this was not the project we would of made.......the photo above is just the start of the project but when I get more of it finished I will have a date and photo. I would like some feedback on if you would like this to be a full day stitch class with lunch or just a night class ....... The only thing with the night class and this is just my opinion, you really don't get much of it done.......the dates would not be until the first week in December because of everything I have going on in October and Nov.  If you would just leave me a comment and let me know if you are interested and if you would like a full day class or night it will help me decide.......thank you.

below photos are of other besides class.......

this is what I have been staring at this week............

 

Happy thursday........

new labels and ribbon........

I always love ordering personalized ribbons and labels.   I have been out of labels for a while......as far as ribbon goes I like to add a little whenever I send out anything to someone who has ordered from me.....always a little more personal..........

 

have a great monday.......

Christmas Retreat in Chickasha cancelled.........

I got word yesterday from the gal who has the Chickasha Retreat House that she has had to cancel the Christmas Retreat Nov. 7-9......so sorry !

 

I will have some dates for classes in Waco and here but for now you can take the Save a Date off your calendar........

 

Happy weekend.......

this is reality.........

And yes this is reality in my world right now...............it's a big ole fat MESS!

My husband never comes in this room because he's afraid something will bite him or he will fall over on the piles I have sitting on the floor............oh well......I can't even believe I ever let it get this way but I am going in a million directions right now.....with Fall classes coming up and doing a couple out of town things I have my plate full......it seems like I need everything that is out and if it's nice and tidy and put back in it's place I won't get much accomplished.  So that is my excuse.

here is a couple things on my worktable.......

Hope your having a great week and creating something fun............

 

Happy Wednesday!

Happy weekend..........

These just make me smile.......I love looking at them when I go into my dining room and open the door of the china cabinet ..........Have a great Holiday weekend!

.......never say never..........

You know the ole saying "NEVER SAY NEVER"......it will bite you in the butt everytime!   Everyone knows that "RECLiNER" is a term associated with elderly people, man caves, etc. you know what I mean.....well at one time or another I said I would never have a recliner chair........ha ha ha.( that was when I was younger and not wiser)  When we get older we change our minds and it's all about the comfort and easy relaxing....this summer when I decided to do a little redecorating I thought maybe I might need some new chairs, not even thinking about recliners..... my friend and I went to the Dallas Gift Market this summer (she is doing a little redecorating too  )so we wanted to check out a few furniture showrooms..........you guessed it we both fell for these white leather recliner/swivel/rockers.....and we knew the husbands would be thrilled with our decisions ........they are really comfortable and we are enjoying them already!  So just make sure you never say never because.................

 

Have a great day out there................ 

Save the Date.........

Christmas Camp in Chickasha Oklahoma Nov. 7-10 put on by 1110 chicks at the Chickasha Craft House.........details coming soon!

Jessie Corley Friendship Quilt......

Well I am just about finished with this fun projects from the Talented Jessie Corley.  She calls it her Friendship Quilt....I used all but one of her stamped pieces.....I also added a few of my own pieces which you can do whatever you want........I haven't decided how I will finish it off around the sides and back but for now the hand piecing is finished and knowing that I can always add more along the way. Thank You Jessie for making this such a fun relaxing project......

 

hope you all have a great week...........
