just sharing

Due to a death in the UK, my daughter will be leaving soon and the Bean is going to be with us for a week. It will be fun as she hasn’t been here to stay over since the beginning of covid.  I decided to clean out the chest of drawers in one of my guest rooms so she will have room for her clothes. Seems this chest has become a catchall so it was overdue for a good clean out.

I found several pieces of cross stitch so I decided to get out my project box and see what else I had.  My stairway to the upstairs is totally enclosed, dark and not the least bit pretty so I am thinking about making it a gallery. I am not sure of my framing method yet and most things I have done are small so that is going to take some thought.  I will do a different post later on that but for now I thought I would share my little projects with you. I think there are a couple of more upstairs. Another time.







This used to hang in my breakfast area.  I think I will remove the eyelet.




This was a Christmas gift to my mother in 1984.  She collected thimbles which are now in my possession.

So, that is what I have been doing today!

Hi, Mary! Thank you! I keep running across things too! I decided to spent some of the day going through craft stuff and it is like herding cats. I think the only thing to do is take most of it to the charity shop because my sanity is being threatened. I didn’t know one person could collect so much stuff!

Great idea about the gallery! Nice pieces! I hope you get back into cross stitching.

Isn't it funny how we can spend lots of time looking at our cross stitch? When did we have time to do it? I was so busy when I was cross stitching. A mystery.
You'll have such fun with Bean! Yay!

What fun to have the Bean with you for a week. Happy de-cluttering in the meanwhile.

Hi, Kim! I am getting back into it slowly. Almost finished with my latest project. Next post is about the icky stairway!

Pom pom, yes! I haven’t had her here in so long! I know, it seems like it was easier to be overly busy!

Granny, yes I am really in the decluttering mood! My husband is scared!
