~*Friday Finishes*~

Hello dear Friends! Another Fall Friday has rolled around! The weather here has been wonderful... great for long walks to enjoy the seasonal changes. The leaves on the trees have begun changing, the squirrels have been busy chattering away and gathering their winter bounty, and the evenings have been getting darker sooner ~ for some reason, I really like that. Our supper menu has begun to change to... just this week, we have had hearty chili and comforting chicken and dumplings... just to name a few.

For ~*Friday Finishes*~ there are bunches of wonderful Fall goodies to share...

From Carole, an awesome quilter & crafter... are several dandy ditties! (When you visit her picturetrail, you can see them all in her Fall Offerings album.) Each is so very sweet!





From Ronda (no blog) is an awesome needle punch. I really like the color variation in the Jack's face. It looks wonderfully scrappy & old. Love it!


Ronda shared an invention with me too. You may find this useful & handy as well. I've shared my vintage spool holder and my primly-handmade spool holder with you before, but this is very unique & many of you may have the supplies to build it already in your craft room. Ronda has wrapped her floss around old spools. She then put the spools on knitting needles that have been 'stuck' through the weave of a basket she found at the thrift shop for only .49. Handy indeed!


Thanks to both ladies for stitching, punching, and sharing! Keep up the wonderful crafting!

Wishing you all many warm smiles... I'm headed over to FINISH wallpaper removal at the studio.

  1. What a great idea to hold your thread for punchneedle. I suck at punchneedle myself, but someday I will get the hang of it and I like this idea for holding the thread!

  10. Fantastic idea! I will do that with my Pearled Cotton that I embroider with. There is too much floss in a skein to put on a floss holder card. This will work really well. Thank you!
