Why? Because when you least expect it they delight you with the beautiful things they do. I came home last week to a sweet surprise in the mail from my friend Trish. A pretty bracelet and a card with well wishes and love. It made me smile. I love this beautiful surprise and I love that Trish thought of me and made me something special. Just because.
With my favorite colors no less. Thank you Trish!
On the home front, I have one more week of this semester and then a two week break. Best of all (kind of) my school job ends for the summer a couple days later so I will get a real break for most of that time. I have a dress pattern I want to sew and a purse and gardening to do. I might try to fit in painting the kitchen. You have no idea how badly I have wanted time for these projects! It may not sound like a break to you, but I would be so excited to get some of these things done!
It is beautiful weather here so far (rain forecast for later) I am heading out to school to finish some projects that are due this week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! See you soon:>)
The bracelet is so pretty! Perfect colors for summer.
ReplyDeleteI don't have schedule as hectic as yours, but I used to wait for the weekends to do my projects that would make me happy WHEN they were finished!! ;-D
Have a great weekend, Kathy!

What a sweet friend. That bracelet is lovely. Yippee!! You are getting a break. I hope you are able to relax a little and do the things on your list...I actually find painting enjoyable..kind of zen like.

That was so sweet of Trish!
ReplyDeleteI got a package in the mail a couple days ago and, for just a moment, I was so excited. Then I realized it was just the teacher's manual I ordered for Allison's language arts for next year. Your package is much more fun!
Love ya!

Kathy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bracelet. I can well imagine that you are wanting to create some things, and work on projects. I hope that school finishing up, will give you the time you need to be lost with your creative muse.
I haven't been visiting as many blogs as I used to, and have been creating instead. I think it is necessary to change it up sometimes.
Have a great week. Karen
What a sweet bracelet!
ReplyDeleteDearest Kathy.

I am excited for you, for the break that is coming your way. Light at the end of the tunnel huh? :o)
Hoping that your week has been a wonderful one.
Sincerely ~ Tricia

Hey Kathy, I was reading comments today on Anne Sutton's post, and immediately spotted your comment. You Go Girl!!!! You know I love your house pillows (I have 3 of them!) and it would be heavenly if someday you can design the fabrics for your creations!!!! A marriage made in heaven! I'm so proud of your goals and accomplishments.
