off they go




The stones from last week's grab bag are boxed up and on their way. My week with my family was filled with love and no doubt, some of that seeped into these stones. 


In other news...As I was walking around, looking for a place to photograph these stones, I heard a scrabbling noise on the tree next to me. I looked up to see this tiny guy overseeing my efforts, and it made me smile. And "Judged By Squirrels" is now my new band name.


Have a great day, all.

a vacation and a grab bag


Vacation!
I have the week off, spending time with family at the lake.
Since the weather has been fluctuating between sun and rain, we've been finding ways to keep ourselves busy when we're not able to fish or kayak.

Yesterday I taught my gram how to wet-felt with the assistance of my youngest.
We've also been playing cards and talking, and just being together.


The rain has also allowed me some time for stitching.
I'll have a handful of small stones done by the end of the week which I'll have in my shop as grab bag stones. For those not familiar, these are small stitched stones that are purchased unseen. You aren't able to pick a certain color or design, but hopefully the right one picks you.

To make it fun for everyone, I ask that only one stone per person is purchased.

If you're interested, head to my shop and have a look.
