It's been a very nice week. We took off most of last week and took a trip to Eureka Springs, AR. It's a touristy town, but a very laid back one. We rented a little cottage not far from down town and pretty much just hung out. We walked a lot, ate a lot, read a lot, and I stitched a bit. The cottage had a wonderful front porch.
It was well sheltered from the rain. Since it rained a lot, we did spend a lot of time out here or in the cottage. I worked on my long term travel project, the Butterfly medallion.
I just need to finish the back stitch around the lower part of the wing and I'll be halfway finished with this butterfly.
I'm taking today off so I can kinda get caught up on laundry and a few chores before heading back into the office tomorrow. I'm also hoping to get in a solid afternoon of stitching time. Why waste a whole vacation day on not fun stuff?
Linking up with Monday Design Wall and Monday Making this week.
What a cute cottage. It looks peaceful and like a great place to vacation.
ReplyDeleteI love the softness of your butterfly.
looks nice - I know that wasn't my nephews cottage that he rents there to guests - I know that theirs is close to the downtown area and has a small backyard with a firepit and 4 large chairs. I have to find out from him the address of it and rent it for a couple days sometime, I love to wonder in and out of the shops there.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful getaway, Kate! So glad you were able to do it. The butterfly cross-stitch is the perfect take-along project, too!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a good way to decompress for a few days. Good for you!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful weekend, and I like that you took an extra day off to get settled. Enjoy your fun sewing afternoon!
ReplyDeleteLaundry is not fun??? Have you considered playing with soap suds :-D Glad you had a fun weekend. I am a big proponent of a day to recover from the vacation.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you were able to spend time away, even if it did rain.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy going to Eureka Springs, in fact we were married there. Was thinking about going back this year.
