My NeW fOuNd LoVe...

Here we are once again...the weekend!
It seems the weekend comes sooner and sooner. It just seems like it was Monday and here we are now Saturday. Boy time flies when your having fun...hehe

I finally painted my frame for my very first stitchery. Boy am I pleased with how it turned out :) I distressed the frame but it does not show up all that well in the picture. I coffee died it and baked in the oven for a prim perfection.
Tabitha loved it so much that she has decided to try stitching on her own. When she finishes her very first one I will post a picture. Her and her best friend buy each other a gift each year for Christmas. So she has decided to go homemade this year. She takes a bit after her mom when it comes to spending her money. She has been saving up for a laptop. We made a deal that we were not paying out all that money but if she helped on paying it, we would reconsider. So since fall, she has been saving every little penny from babysitting money to selling her jewelry that she makes. I have to give her credit when it comes to her money that she worked for, she knows how hard it is to earn it. She is very careful on how she spends it. And since she knows a laptop is expansive, she has been pinching every penny. She has a nice chunk saved up so far. Here is a picture of some of her jewelry that she was selling when we did our Craft Sale this Summer. It's hard to see here but you can see a few necklaces on the table. She actually got a order from a lady because she had purchased jewelry before from Tabitha. She wants Tab to make a whole set from a necklace, bracelet, earrings to a ring for her two daughters. Well you can imagine, Tabitha is seeing $$$ signs right now...LOL
I now have started my second stitchery which will end up being a tea towel. This one is a tad bit harder since I am trying to stitch the leaves on the Willow Tree. Much more tiny, so I find it takes more time. But that is OK because I am enjoying this so much! Here is a sneak peak and of course I did not copy where I got this pattern from so I am not sure. If anyone does know, I want to give credit to the one who posted the free pattern. The stitchery will become a pocket on the towel...how CUTE!
I have promised myself once I complete this stitchery I will make my valance with that wonderful black and tan checkered material I bought the other day and then I can start another stitchery. I have plans to make matching pillows for Christmas. One is a Snowman and the other will be a Santa. Free patterns that I found on "Twigs & Sprigs". She has alot of fun patterns of all seasons posted free on her site. They are all hard to choose which ones to do next :)

The other day with excitement I received a package in the mail :) I ordered a Campfire Marshmallows candle made by McCalls Candles from "Antique or Not". She has a wonderful store online and fast service. I ordered the candle because no one from around here sells these candles at all and I have heard such wonderful remarks on this scent. And since I was making a order, I also ordered this plate that has Primitive written on it, some button melt tarts and a handtowel that is reversible for the Seasons. Pam was also so kind and sent 3 other button melt tarts, scented Country Store, Autumn Leaves and Hot Buttered Rum. They all smell so good, not sure which one I will use first. Thank You Pam for such wonderful and quick service. I am very pleased with my purchase. Oh by the way...I LOVE my marshmallow campfire candle. The house smells so good!!!
Today is a day to get my laundry all caught up and some cleaning of the house. Hubby works every Saturdays so I try to get the house all organized so we can do what ever we want on Sundays. So I must run for now...I have to sneak at a few blogs before I continue cleaning...hehe

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend so far...It's Halloween Friday. Can't wait to help the girls dress up for such a fun occassion. So until next time...have a great weekend :)
