THE BUZZ FROM THE HIVE

Saturday, May 14, 2016

All this rain is getting a little old................



I know, we've needed this rain but, enough is enough!!! The yard sale got cancelled for the second time and now won't be rescheduled until the fall. We're scrambling to figure out what avenue to take now. We have quite a bit of decent stuff to get rid of! We live a bit out of town and feel most people won't drive out for just a single yard sale. But, I'm leaning towards doing it at our house next Saturday because a huge neighborhood near us is having their annual sale and people will be driving out for that. We'll see!!!

In the meantime, I've been working on some finishing, a little bit at a time, and was able to get my other Sherri Jones class completed. Woo-hoo.....talk about sweet, sweet, sweet! The piece is the Afternoon Leisure Basket. It comprises two tiny "books", scissor sheath, pin pillow, pin keep and berry......all of which fits in a beautiful swing handle wooden basket with lovely stitched bottom sections. Here's the photos:

That's it for today. Hopefully we'll be drying out soon. Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads"  of friendship!

  1. Wow, Stasi! Your Afternoon Leisure Basket is stunning. Bummer on the canceled yard sale! We had sun this morning, but it has darkened up and is now raining with distant rumbles of thunder. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  3. This is so very lovely Stasi. I really adore that little dog.
    Well, you could have frigid temps and snow flurries we had today for my son's graduation. ;)

  5. Your Leisure Basket came out very nice! You should be proud of it!

    It seems like spring is extra slow this year - it's still rainy and cold around here.
