It's just amazing how last week temps here reached into the 90's and last night temps hit the freezing mark! Brrr, was it cold this morning. We might hit 70 by the end of the week. *might*HEALTH
Thank you for all the comments regarding my back. I started to feel better last Wed, and was probably 98% better by Saturday. Now, I'm all good. :)
SCHOOL
Last week was the final week of the semester. I managed to get my paper finished and submitted. It'll be interesting to see what kind of grade I get seeing as I used the same format as I did last semester. Hey, I figured if the instructor could
I'm signed up for next semester (starts at the end of the month). The class is Comprehensive Financial Planning. I've already ordered the book, which shipped the same day, and arrived within 4 days. Talk about fast service!
For now, I'm just going to.....
STITCHY STUFF
I went treasure hunting a couple weeks ago, and I found a plastic container full of needlework supplies. Nothing had a price tag, so I asked the cashier who asked the store manager who said $1.99. Sold! Here's what I came home with:
I'm still working on the mailart for an exchange I'm in. I should have it stitched and assembled by the weekend or early next week. I'll have to start searching for the "perfect" snowman chart for an ornament exchange I'm in. Then I can get back to Blossom Splendor!
For anyone who's interested, I have another flower frog on my stash-for-sale site. I think I counted that this one could hold 33 pairs of scissors if you put them in the perimeter. Also, there are new Lizzie Kate charts. The link is on the sidebar, if you're interested.
Until next time,
I am sure you will get an excellent grade on your paper...
ReplyDeleteI woke up to more rain showers this morning. It's 7:20am and only 50 degrees out. It is supposed to rain all day long :( What happened to Spring.
Meari -

Definitely time to relax! Glad you're feeling better, too. Lovely frog - I think I'm interested! Did the top and bottom come together? The two I found were the tops only and I had to hunt all over the planet to find a bottom to fit! LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, Caribou!!! Good luck on your paper. Your stash find looks great! I'm curious, what is a flower frog?
ReplyDeleteGlad your back is better! :o) Nice stash find!
ReplyDeleteHappy Trails,
Pam K. :o)
Your weather is same as here on the north!
ReplyDeleteLove the relax button. Did you press it yet?
You lucky girl!!!! You need to have a side business just to make stash money on all your great finds.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitchin!!!!
You manage to get those great deals like I do....but I think you find the most adorable treasures....love the Mickey Mouse....not much time on computer...just want to say hi...not much time to work on my gold finch, but pic in group.

YAY for the end of the semester! Enjoy your time off!

Wow Meari! If I didn't know you weren't in San Diego... We had highs in the 90's the first week of May, followed by mid to high 60's last week and today it is rainy and the high may hit 60. It sucks. I am ready for some warmer weather to come and hang around for awhile. SoCal didn't get a summer last year. We had a mostly cold summer and had few days where the temps got beyond the mid 60's. What is up with the weather in North America? They got so much snow at Mammoth in NorCal this year that the ski resort will be open until July 4th. Usually they have to make snow just to keep the resort open. We got so much winter rain that our years long drought is over. And all the snow, tornadoes and floods going on in the rest of the country is crazy.

Good luck on the paper, you will do fine! I do not get to go out much so finding good deals like I used to at my local Goodwill is a thing of the past. Your weather sounds like Ohio, soon enough it will be warm again!
ReplyDeleteHey, I think I have most of those leaflets in my stash! You always have the best finds. I thought for sure there had to be some soccer games this week as the weather had turned cold, windy and rainy again, but the season actually ended last week. Enjoy your break before classes start again.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there are strange things going on with the weather everywhere Meari! We had a beautiful April with temperatures way above average but May has been cold and wet so far, at least here in Wales. It's been more like autumn than spring!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are glad to finish the semester. Enjoy your break and I hope you can get plenty of stitching done.
What a great haul of stash you got for $1.99!
Hugs,
Lynette
Another bargain for the "nose for bargains" hunter. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of this spring. I couldn't stand the heat and humidity of our previous weather, but I don't like this either!
I'll be glad to see your progress when you get back to Blossom Splendor. I love seeing that come together!
Our weather has been crazy too. I just want it to get warm and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI am sure your paper will be terrific!
Great stash find!

Glad to hear your class is over and now you can relax. Happy to hear about your back and don't lift anything heavy again. What a great find, you are so lucky to find things like that.
ReplyDeleteMarl
What no blog win this week?? LOL Well 1.99 for the haul could be considered the same thing. I had to golf tonight and it was a lovely 55 degrees out and windy!!!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that your back is back to normal, Meari--enjoy your time off and I hope you find some wonderful treasures again this week :)
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't think we'll ever have a summer this year the way our spring is going!
Wow, envy the lovely weather you seem to be having!!
ReplyDeleteOhh my, look at all the stash!!! Again I say, you really are lucky with findings. Congrats :d
A relax button. Now that's one I should get too....lol. Glad your back is doing better. Gorgeous frog, and great haul of stash. Crossing fingers here that your exams went all well
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention - thanks for your lovely comment and your constant encouragement :)
ReplyDeleteI used the tutorial for making the Cord from The cross stitcher's bible.
fantastic find.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll do just great on your paper.
Meari,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better! Great job on the stash find for only $1.99!! Where did you find it?

I am glad you back is better. I would use the same format too. Your weather is freaky. Hope it stabilizes soon. We are having open the doors and throw open the windows weather. No heat or AC. The ceiling fans are running though.
