Friday desk cleaning!

Every Friday I TRY to clean my desk. Why, you ask?  Many reasons...get ready for the weekend, assess what I did/did not accomplish during the week, avoid Friday afternoon work, etc.

So I thought I'd share some things that DID happen this week. I designed and stitched a couple small models - whoopee!  Sometimes things come together smoothly, and sometimes they don't, but these were really fun.  Here's a sneak peek of a new Flora McSample Quick-it.  Flora is our little sampler girl and she's been in a garden groove this week. Flora found some really lovely beads to accent her strawberry (a newish color from Mill Hill called allspice), so they also got ordered.

I also bought the annual shamrock plant (oxalis) for the office. I adore these little plants every year.  They always appear at the grocery at St. Pat's time. They are a lovely, old-fashioned plant with 4-sided leaves that open in the day and close up at night.  After they are done blooming and weather warms, I dig up the little bulb things (whatever they are called) and put them outside and hope for more blooms later.

Another Friday activity - sorting out a weeks worth of threads and (hopefully) returning them to their proper places.  But, more often than not, they sit there and get pulled out for more projects the next week. Here's to a (relatively) clean desk and the start of a beautiful weekend!
