Fun Friday

Well, I've taken a little break with crochet. Need some time to think of some more ideas....and re-gain my motivation to do it! Do you ever get a little burnt out? I find it very helpful to "jump tracks" occasionally! Helps me keep things fresh - guess that's necessary for me after 30 years of making my craft! :)
So this week I am indulging in some embroidery. I learned to embroidery when I was very small. My mom taught me and I remember making a little kitten potholder for my grandma...which, of course, she still has hanging in her kitchen. :) Grandmas.....wonderful people!
This week, I needed a wedding gift and decided on a dish towel with this cute hillbilly couple embroidered on it. I think I may just have to make some more of them for my shop - they are so cute! And I am enjoying the needlework. Today I am working on a cute little chicken - doing her laundry. You now, the cute sets that have a different picture for each day of the week. Anyway, will have to try to put a picture of her up when I have a bit more of her finished.
Then, I hope to make some peach jams and jellies next week. I was able to get a bunch of peaches at my local Sprouts store at a really great deal. They look so pretty!

I do hope your Friday and weekend are lovely. And if you are here reading this.....THANK YOU! :)
