~*Friday Finishes*~

Hello Dear Friends & Happy Friday!  I do hope this post finds you doing well.  I've been busy creating in the shop... and in the living room in the evening.  *grin* hooking, sewing, and stitching...  I finished up a couple more velvet pears.  These are made with a cotton velvet... and I do just love 'em!  One was taken down to our booth at Ellie Lou's... and the other is here in the shop...

 These are about 11" tall (give or take)... and made from inspiration from a pattern by Sassafras Hill Primitives.  They are rag filled... and trimmed with vintage skeleton keys.

And some wonderful finishes from other dear friends...

This is a freebie finish from Carla that was posted on Facebook.... so sweet & it is about turkey time!
 This dandy is from Dora, the sweet that sent me yummy fudge *smile*... her finish of ~*Helga Watts*~...
Dora used Garden Gate Sampler Thread (by The Gentle Art) that I used on the model.  She stitched on 36 count Legacy from Picture This Plus.  In the corners, she added four mismatched antique buttons... and did a blanket stitch around the edges.  

Both finishes are just DARLING!  Thank you so much, Ladies, for stitching and sharing!  I love to see & share finishes!!!

With Veteran's Day this Sunday... we may head into Emporia for the parade tomorrow morning.  Did you know Emporia is the founding city for Veteran's Day.  It is kind of a big deal ~ as is very well should be! ~ and the whole town is a buzz with activity celebrating our veterans.  Thank you for serving!  Afterwards, I plan to be in the shop with the open sign out... swing by & see me!

Wishing you warm smiles...

Betty
