What I did on my long weekend ...

Last week I took a couple of extra days off work and made a nice long 4 day weekend for myself. With money being tight, our vacations this summer are just hanging out around home. I decided this long weekend was going to me all mine, well at least the days were all mine .. I still had the family around in the evenings .. damm lol

I spend my days reading (Dark Lover), cleaning and organizing my stitching room (why don't I put my threads away when I'm done with them??!!), finishing a couple of Christmas ornaments (yea I do finishing when I have to! lol) and stitching stitching stitching .. it was heaven!

I stitched on Earth Laughs .. omgosh I love how this is coming together .. makes me smile to see all the flowers ..

I worked on Coffin Buzz .. I had to frog the scroll at the bottom right. I hate frogging but frogging over one is just nasty! Unfortunately I didnt' frog this sooner and there is some discoloration .. I'm bummed, but almost done, so I'll finish it and hopefully it won't show up as much as it does now ...

And I finished up this Halloween cutie. This is Black Cat from BBD's Trix or Treat book. I stitched on some orange linen that I had coffee dyed and I used WDW Guacamole in place of WDW Caper. I really like how the green looks against the orange ..

I love productive but relaxed vacations .. don't you? lol I have another 4 day weekend coming up soon .. wonder what I'll get accomplished then?

Thanks everyone for dropping by for a visit, I love reading your comments.

Find your joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for days off ...
