Some Downtime Needlework
Pin It
The new job has been going well but taking up more of my time than I first thought it would. It is a high-paced job that requires a major amount of energy and attention to detail. When I walk through the door at the end of the day, the only thought that runs through my mind is a cup of tea and the sofa.
While recuperating on the sofa, I wanted something mindless to work on to help ease the stress from my mind and body. Having many needlework kits that have been sitting in my craft stash, I chose one that I have been eyeing for a while .... a cute rooster table runner. After the embroidery is finished, I will add a backing and binding. Just something simple that gives me pleasure at the end of the day.
Although my sewing machine has been calling my name and the five fat quarter scarf has been sitting in the basket waiting to be finished, it will have to wait until I have a day off. I will return my friend, I will return.
Please remember to give your loved ones a hug!

Thrifty Thursday
Pin It
It's time once again for Thrifty Thursday!
Love this little box I found....although my Mom and I are fighting over it right now!
Cute little rug hooking made from fabric scraps. I am such a sucker for vintage linens.
Little box - $3.00 and the rug hooking .25 cents! Love that it is garage sale season!

Changes
Pin It
There has been some changes on the old homestead. Changes that were not expected nor welcomed....however, the Lord holds our hand through the difficult times and He will give us the strength to get through these trials that we are experiencing.
With that being said, I started a new job yesterday so I will have less time to enjoy what I like to do....crafting, baking, sewing, knitting but hopefully it will be only for a short time and things will return to normal. So during this transition, I ask for patience from you. It has been five years since I worked out in the real world and getting use to having less time each day at home will be a shocking change to say the least.
So tonight I will relax with some eye-candy compliments from the local library. I need to de-stress and get some creative juices flowing. Finding the time to create will be a challenge and I usually face a challenge head on but this time, this time it has taken the winds out of my sails.
So don't think I am gone.....I am just a little misplaced and need to find my way once again.
