I LIKE Thursday

 

 

Today I’m thinking that it will be fun to spend several hours with good friends, stitching, sharing, enjoying. 

I was right. I have  stitching/quilting friends who are so creative. Today they gifted all of us Galentine’s Day gifts. 

A pencil and a big paper clip, clipped to a card that says, “you're a real gem” from Linette. And a double sided packet that had raspberry tea in one side….

And a Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Raspberry square on the other side from Aggie. 

Mr. Busy had a prescription to pick up yesterday, and came back home with a pot of tulips. A dark raspberry color. There could be a theme happening here. 

Mr. Busy and I made potato soup yesterday following a Pioneer Woman recipe I found on the web. 

Pioneer Woman

I thought, earlier in the week, that I should stitch something Valentine-y. But I knew I’d never finish it in time. So I started on  Shamrock Sampler from Melissa at Pinker n Punkin Quilting

Today I finished the stitching and will fully finish it soon, as a small bowl filler.

I used a scrap of Aida that was in my stash. Don’t mind the notch out of the rectangle. It will be fine. Melisa uses Aida 14ct mostly. This scrap was 18ct. It’s just a bit smaller. I used DMC 368 for the alphabet and DMC 367 for the shamrocks. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.
