~*Re~Cap, Re~Do, and an Olde Freebie*~

Hello Dear Friends! I hope you had a great weekend! We did... and it was so full! On Saturday, Tony & I went to Overland Park to pick up a boat motor for the minimax boat he has built. (pictures of that soon) While there, we visited the old downtown Santa Fe area for some shopping... antiques and the quilt shop. The day wasn't over yet! We then drove west about 2 1/2 hours to Alma for a car show... and more antique shopping. That alone was a full, fun day! But on Sunday... I did the re~do of our bedroom... painting the ceiling, walls, closet, and floor. (yes, it too had the 40+ year old carpet in it) Monday is still part of our 'weekend' because of Tony's work schedule... he works 4, 10 our days with Saturday, Sunday & Monday off. So...yesterday, I finished putting everything but the dust bunnies back into our room... and then we took the boat out in the evening so the kids could give knee boarding a go. Let me just say... that I dropped into bed at 10pm and woke up this morning feeling like I had a hang over. It was a full weekend!!

I didn't get pictures of the few lil' goodies I purchased from the antique shops or quilt store... and I didn't' get pictures of the car show... but here are some snaps taken from my phone yesterday of our bedroom. Please ignore the image of me in the mirror...smile...





We have a large area rug covering most of the floor... but this floor too is just the plywood sub-floor painted with porch paint. Someday we do hope to get new carpeting in all our bedrooms. But we need to save our pennies first to do it.

I mentioned an olde freebie in the title... where here it is...
~*Olde Hallow's Eve*~ freebie

64 by 60 stitches

A few years ago, I belonged to an online group called Stacy Nash Groupies. This group has been closed and no longer exists. But during the time the group was active, I was asked to donate a freebie. This is it. Ann of A Hole In The Basket Primitives recently stitched it up, but couldn't locate the designer information. I searched my old files and found it... and thought I would share it with all of you too. Here is Ann's finish...
Thank you for sharing your finish, Ann! It is wonderful!

Ann has another beautiful finish that I will be sharing on Friday too. It too is lovely!

Well... I need to get busy with some house cleaning... and maybe pick up my needle... so time to run. I hope you all have a blessed day!

Wishing you warm smiles...

Betty
