Yesterday I made a couple of tags to attach to cakes for our Wow Bake Sale tomorrow. Thought a little embellishment might entice shoppers to buy.
I also worked on my next two altered playing cards. But I really don't like them, and I don't think I'm ready to show them. Maybe I can fix them..
Today has been full speed ahead. First, I had a doctor's appointment at 9:30. Then I went to the Thrift Store, where I found a few treasures. Grocery shopping at Target came next, followed by lunch, then more blackberry picking in Paul's garden. After all that, I was completely exhausted so I thought I'd take a nap. But every time I dozed, the phone would ring, or somebody would ring the doorbell, sending the dogs into barking spasms. So I finally got up and started the Lemon Pound Cake that I'm baking for Andy to take to work tomorrow for a birthday party for one of her co-workers.
Below are my treasures: 1) two pretty mugs for 50 cents each, 2) a fun mug of hearts--39 cents, 3) a great Corning dish for $3, 4) more sheets and pillow cases for making PJs and tote bags (except I'm going to use the blue striped sheets for the guest room. They'll go perfectly.
Oh, and the wedding quilt came in from the quilter today. When I've bound it, I'll post a picture of the whole quilt and give you the quilter's name. She's a good 'un.

Those two little mugs are so cute. Now Susan, I bet your two new cards are beautiful. Are you certain that you aren't too hard on yourself?
