A Little Bit Spoiled


While teaching at the Sip n' Sew I was treated to lovely pillow cases to sleep on!

The embroidery is exquisite.

The hand monogram is such a special touch to linens.

And what sweet dreams I had !

I was also kept supplied with hot tea complete with pretty Tea Pot, cup and saucer.

And fresh oranges.

What a treat!!

Jeannie's Fun Day!

We found these  little treasures in a bucket of towels.  My Friend bought one and I bought two.
Aren't these the cutest vintage Dish cloths you have ever seen?

On Saturday, I had no problem doing one thing at a time!  Because, all day long I did the same thing.  I had FUN!!  Fun with a Friend!

Wednesday is the day for Sewing!  Imagine.  An entire day each week set aside just for sewing!  That sounds like fun.
I spent the entire day with a Friend.  We went shopping, mostly in a nearby town known for Antiques.  

Monday is wash day.  He doesn't mind that it's raining.
It was dark by the time we headed home!
And she fixed me a cup of Tea.

It was a good day.

Shopping on Thursday.
These towels fit right in with the book I am readying to help me simplify my life.  The chapter for this week is do one thing at a time.  These towel represent the practice of choosing one day for a particular chore.  They didn't Wash and Shop on the same day.

  No, Monday was Wash Day, Thursday was Market day, on these towels anyway.  

And all day Wednesday they sewed (sounds more like a reward than a chore !).

One for my Friend.  One for Me.

My Friend spotted these two Ready To Embroider Pillow Case Kits!  It reminded me of when my Sister was visiting and we found an entire bag of Pillow Cases to embroider. 

How can I be so lucky for this to happen twice?

Cross Stitch Flowers to embroider.

I had more FUN than should be legal.
(and you don't even know the half of it!!)
