One To Go...

Brynwood Baby - WIP Baptism Brooches 

I checked my blog this morning to find the post I wrote for today had disappeared! So, here we go again.  

I completed stitching these two small hearts over the weekend. One is done in aurora borealis seed beads, and the other in ecru pearl seed beads. I'll begin the third one today in Swarovski crystal beads.

We have a dinner date with Grandson and his parents today, so we'll see how far I get before we have to leave.

It's going to be another busy week. Dinner with classmates, hair appointment, work, and an eye appointment. Handsome has things on his calendar, too, so we'll see how this "one vehicle program" works. I'll keep you posted!

The sun is shining. I'll be needle dancing. Life is good. I hope you have a great week!

Friday Update...


Let's begin by saying, I located my lost item last night after dinner. I was able to sleep without that gnawing at my brain. 

I woke up refreshed and ready to dance. This is what I'm working on now. I'm creating a smaller version of my exclusive Something Blue Bridal Brooches for baptisms and confirmations. Of course, in hopes that it will become a treasured heirloom, it could certainly also become a bridal brooch, but not for "something blue".

These will be beaded or have more goldwork fibers, with a cross in the center. I'll be working more on these over the weekend. 

One more thing...unrelated. Handsome's truck died this week. I mean really died. We're currently debating whether or not we need a second vehicle, and if so, just what our next move will be. We don't want a brand new truck or car that will tell us how we're driving. We'll be discussing it more in the coming days. Just what we needed. This definitely wasn't on my 2026 bingo card (along with three + weeks being sick to start the new year). sigh

It's the weekend again! I hope you have sunshine skies and warm(er) breezes.
