A finish from last weekend.... and more!

This is "Summer Sachet" from Blackbird Designs "A Stitchers Journey" book. 
I stitched it last Saturday (the 2nd) and finished it on Sunday a.m. I had planned to post it all week, but never got around to it. I used a little oval box and no, I didn't "paint" it, I liked it this color. Since it's for me, that's good, right? ;-) It was a quick stitch & an easy finish. I have other pieces from the book picked out to stitch & hope to pull the threads later today. It's small, but at least it's a finish & I like it! :-)


We spent Friday & Saturday in NC.  We went to Rockingham to the Drag Races yesterday.  It was COLD!  The high was only in the 50's, it was windy & very cloudy & misted rain a little bit (and it felt like the 30's!).  It wouldn't have been so bad had we been prepared for the weather, but it was supposed to be in the 80's!  And today is supposed to be around 90 and it's maybe 60.


Anyway, we've never been to the drag races, so it was a new experience and I have to say, it was FUN!  It was also loud & smelly - all the burning rubber, but it was still fun.  We will, however, find a different location to spend the night.  We stayed at a B&B that looked great online - NOT!  It was really terribly rundown and the breakfast was not even edible at all.  UGH!  Other than that though - it was a good time & nice to get away, even if it was only 48 hours.  :-)



And here are some "Huswifes" I made last week as well.  I'm slow at getting things posted.  These are like the one I won in Mermuo's drawing.  They were fun to make & will make great gifts I think.  The pattern is from one of the books in a previous post.  I enjoyed making them & have plans to make more. 


Thanks for stopping by - have a great week ahead & happy stitching!

Title : Vibram Fivefingers KSO EVO W, Women's Fitness, Grey (Grey/Pink), 6-6.5 UK (37 EU) ASIN : B00DYXNW8C Description : MINIMALIST RUNNING / BAREFOOT RUNNING The typical human foot is an anatomical masterpiece of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. To keep our feet healthy, like the rest of our bodies, they need to be stimulated and exercised regularly. Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but can also weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more susceptible to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, it is equally important to stimulate and exercise our feet in a more natural state on a regular basis.
