Day Trippin'

Hello Friends!  DH and I took a day trip to Salisbury today.  I wanted to visit Spring Robin and take Sergei along for framing.  I did a little research and found a few other things to do while we were there.

Spring Robin Cross Stitch was wonderful and Robin was so nice and helpful.  Her prices on framing are very reasonable and she has lots of choices in moldings.   There was a wonderful mural across the street from her shop.


Spring Robin also has a large selection of charts and supplies.  I managed to pick up just a few things to add to my stash.  :o)


While we were there we took a driving tour of the Historic National Cemetery and the Confederate Prison site.  We also took a tour of the Dr. Josephus Hall House.
It was really nice for the two of us to get out of town and do something together without feeling rushed to get back home.  I highly recommend a visit to this wonderful old city that is full of southern history.  I took lots of pictures inside the Hall house as well a few of the cemetery and the prison site.  You can find them in my webshots album in the folder titled Salisbury 2012 if you would like to see them.

Cold and Icy

Image
Hello friends!  It has been cold and icy here this weekend.  Work closed early Friday and the ice was so bad yesterday we didn't even open.  I took advantage of the extra time and did the finishing on my With Thy Needle Friendship samplers. Victorian Motto cluny lace trim for this one. Chenille - again from Victorian Motto. I completed the stitching on this "Bluebird Serenade" and finished it up too.  I tried a new technique for me with the ric rac - I wove two different shades of pink together. See how different it looks?  Love it! And here they are, so happy together! I also spent some time with my sewing machine and made up these mug mats for Valentine's Day.  This is the January Label Crew project by Sweetwater. I had several scraps left over and since I am not one to waste such pretty bits... I used them to make these sweet fabric valentines.  :o)   A winner has been selected....

I Stitched!

Something about this series really appeals to me. I just love the look of chalkboards but they are so messy. This way I get the chalkboard but not the mess! I have an idea for my finish using this little chalkboard I found at Wal-Mart. I think with a bit of Briwax and some ribbon it will be cute. I just hope it turns out like the picture in my head. Stay tuned!
