Sunday cleaning

Did I say it's hot in this spot on the map?  No complaints though. I prefer warmth than those bitterly cold, joint-aching days for these old bones.

I had several questions on The Frame Guys. Their shop is on EBAY not ETSY.  I'll try to send a link in a few.

My friend Dot called. She is happy in her new place and I'm so happy for her. She has left some things to pick up, and her son is coming soon to the house down the road. She wanted to know if I wanted her beautiful mahogany armoire and we are planning an outing to go look at that (probably will get it for office space in BG office) and then to the Dairy Queen!!!! I've been craving a Butterfinger Blizzard for days now.

Lots of cleaning going on this week. This morning, I thought I had finally got ALL my threads organized but in cleaning found some more in bags. Gosh, I stash and made a mess from my last few projects.

But I feel so much better getting this all organized. Takes away from stitching time but clutter makes my stress level climb so, gotta get it together, as one of my friends says to me!

Next, this evening, more cleaning in my office space downstairs. New computer, new printer and may curl up with a good book this evening on the sofa down there because it's HOT, HOT outside!

Hope your Sunday is as restful and productive as ours. We are amazed at how much of a pac rat we both are. I just look at BG's office space and sigh.  Long sighs. I think he has cord for every object known to man.

I hear thunder. Oh no!

Best run to get a bite to eat before heading out on errands.

Have a great afternoon!

I'm in an adventuresome mood.

Talk later,

The Best Framers I've Experienced for my own Stitching finishes

I've mentioned this company in particular before. I do  not have any commission or reasons to gain from this, but because in this economy, I try to save when I can and not diminsh quality, I frame my own stitching.

Ebay has a shop, The Frame Guys, who I've done business with for 3 years and NEVER been disappointed with their service, quality, prices are excellent, and I've even talked on the phone once when the size was wrong with the "guy" and he was so cordial and actually answered the phone without having to leave messages and such. Communication and price is superb.

This morning the mail lady UPS brought the package from a frame I ordered specifically for How  Great Thou Art sampler that I designed 2 weeks ago. It's a small design and will be a quickie to stitch but I got this from in a rustic "Loden/ dark sage" color green, with it has a rustic appeal and freshly finished ( I can still smell the paint when I opened it), I did  another happy dance from the Frame guys!

They package VERY well, so no dings.

After this bubble wrap is removed, they have a fine plastic wrap around the frame.

This is like a dark sage green, rustic

The border is larger and I thought that would compliment the small design. 3 inch border.

glass is included with a hanger as well

the back of it. It's SOLID wood

this one I picked to be knotty pine and rustic. They have thinner moldings and many, many other designs.

I just wanted to share this with those who may be trying to save a few pennies and venture into framing your own work.

The Doggie Fairy is flying around the window right now

Yeppers, Ms. Abbie kept acting like something was in her mouth for 2 hours, like peanut butter and it was bothering her bad and then a baby tooth popped out onto my pants. Poor Abbie. She snarled (has never done that) to BG when he was trying to see what was wrong.

and feminine, foo,foo snarls are funny.

shhhhhhhhh.....

Don't tell Miss Abbie that BG threw away her tooth instead of saving it for the tooth fairy.....LOL

She's my sugar lump.

She is usually happy but tonight she was a little vinegar.

Hope your weekend has started out great!

(and the tooth fairy leaves something under your pillow too)
