Some Finishes & A Weekend in Arizona (picture heavy)

January is shaping up to be all about smalls.  Here are the latest finishes-
 

Gay Ann Rogers Samples


Barbara Jackson's latest Christmas Ornament thru Shining Needle Society


Olde Colonial Designs Pins and Needles Pincushion Top


The Stitcherhood Merry Christmas Ornament


Plum Street Samplers
Jack's Birthday tart pincushion
 
I just got back from a weekend in Phoenix.  Oh, the weather was delightful.  In the 70's everyday, no rain, no humidity.  The perfect place to visit in the winter.
 
The weekend started with a wonderful German dinner in Glendale at Haus Murphy's.
We saw this restaurant on the Food Network with Guy Fieri.  It was live music night with accordion and tuba!
We were able to eat outside in the Bier Garden.
 

 
Check out these Christmas lighted palm trees!


We revisited the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. The last time we were there was 1984!  You can imagine that it used to be in the middle of nowhere and now it is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, strip malls, etc.




 
And I got to visit the "new" Attic Needlework shop.  Oh, it is amazing!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I did a little stash enchancement :)
 
 
 
Sunday afternoon brought the Seahawks football game-a real nail biter!  And some shopping for  Merry Cox goodies!
 
 
Monday was the Merry Cox Young Ladies Workbox class-
 
 

It was a lovely time and I even got a sneak peek at Merry's class scheduled for 2016-


Whew!  It's good to be home!

    You surely keep busy! The finishes are lovely--look forward to seeing them finish-finished. And your trip to Arizona sounds like it was delightful. Great temperatures!! I am not fond of cold temps! Someday I might get out that way and stop in at the Attic. I know they are really wonderful there--glad you had a good trip! Hugs!
