Thank you

I want to thank all of you for the encouragement you gave in my last post. I really appreciate it. I felt better after posting, God was giving me my daily strength, and we went out and took care of our errands. Sometimes you wake up feeling better than the day before and you can tell that it's not the same. Then I read your comments and was so blessed and encouraged.

This morning I thought to check my mail account for my blog and found an email from Sandra of Diary of a Stay at Home Mom about my having won her recent give-away of a $20 gift card from Amazon. What a pleasant surprise. Then I had another email from a blogging friend saying they had some thread and beads they thought I might want. Amazing.

Well, with my gift card, I had no idea what I was going to get until I saw that Amazon had jewelry making supplies, and I ordered Czech Seed beads 11/0 size, in different colors and a pkg of beading needles. I will post a picture next week after they get here.

Yesterday when we were out doing errands we stopped at a local art supply store and got a sheet of foam board and a roll of double stick tape for mounting my needlework pieces. I thought I was going to do my latest two pieces today, but didn't get to it, hopefully tomorrow I will. DH made the frames from scraps of molding that we had. I hope also to get these up in my Etsy shop in the next week or so.

Here are the pieces.

This first one is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".







This piece is 6" x 4".






It's still too hot to do much of anything outside, so I'll be indoors working on more embroidery, and cooking, etc.

I did weed wack two rock borders today but that was it. Sweat was pouring and that is not fun at all.

Hope you all are keeping cool, and keeping your cool, and that the rest of your week is good.

Thanks again for your kind comments.
