~*Friday Finishes*~

Hello Dear Friends! BBBbbbbrrrr is it cold! We are experiencing record breaking cold temps here in Kansas right now. It is so cold that school has been canceled for 2 days. Well, yesterday it was actually canceled for snow ~ but today it is because of the cold. We are expecting to warm up by the beginning of next week... to the 20s anyway. I'm sure that will feel like a heatwave to us by then. It is 0 degrees right now... with a windchill of -20. So BBBbbbbrrrrrr...

I've been trying to work on my rug & sampler, but with the kiddo home there are several, yet loving, interruptions. I'll be sharing progress pictures of both soon.

For now though... here are a few ~*Fabulous Friday Finishes*~...

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Charlene has punched up ~*Hearts Pair 1857*~... and is offering it on Ebay... her seller id is redlockscreations
. Charlene explained to me that she is working on trying to get more of an 'antique look' on her backgrounds. Well, I think she is doing just that. She has used several different tones while punching the background & it looks sweetly, wonderful.


Barbara has been preparing for Valentine's Day as well. She is the first to share her finish of the latest ~*Valentine Freebie*~. She has stitched up a darling lil' cupboard hanger!


Thank you ladies... for playing with the freebies & sharing! They are both just beautiful!

Wishing you all warm smiles... happy stitches too...

Betty

  4. We are getting the cold temperatures, too. If the wind would just quit blowing it wouldn't be so bad. Hope you and Trinity have a day filled with fun!

  7. Betty dear,
    I love those pretty finishes you shared. I know what you mean about the cold and snow!! Same here just a little ways aways. Hope you get warmer soon too. We don't go to school now on Fridays, so when have a snow day they will make them up on Fridays. And we didn't go to school yesterday or today either. So if it permits they will be in school all of next week.
    Stay bundled up, and warm!!
    Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day!

  9. Love your work. Your Etsy shop is awesome. I just can't sit down in front of a television without a needlework in my hand. I'm working on a sampler wall to hang behind my at the moment. Of coars we need to remove a poorly located window before I can hang it all. :o)
