New Turquoise Pin

.

I'm so happy with this pin - I'm going to wear it to work tomorrow. It was kind of a happy accident. There were several of these elements on my work surface, in different colors, from previous projects. As I was cleaning up the surface tonight, I started fiddling about with the shapes and colors. I've made pins before with this stitched design but nothing really "special" enough. I like the double scalloped border.

Soon I'll make more and post them in my Etsy shop. My poor semi-neglected Etsy shop. Must get moving on this!

I accomplished lots this weekend. Thank goodness for weekends, is all I can say. In no particular order:

I shipped samples to the store in Florida that had inquired about wholesale prices a few weeks ago.

The new-to-me store in Corning, placed another order so I shipped that too. These shipments entailed making some cards to send along to see if the owners think they might be good fits along with the Sticky Notes.

I finished my application to the Rochester Museum and Science Center show.

I placed orders with several vendors.

Balanced my bank accounts.

Finished my filing.

Filled out the paperwork for my annual physical on Wednesday. And by annual I mean every five years.

Baked brownies for my friend Jen's birthday.

Watched a movie with Steve. Last Dance with that hunkaburnin' love, Rob Morrow.

Soaked in the hot tub last night.

Went to my friend Nancy's for lunch on Saturday with Kim & Kathy. (Homemade pizza was delish!)

Took Reggi on another long walk in our new favorite park, Ellison Park. We even let her off-leash in a field and along a path and she did great. This park is very popular with dog owners even if it's not officially a "dog park". In fact, if you are reading this and you are an animal control officer, we never let Reggi off her leash once, nosiree. Lots of owners let their dogs swim in the creek too - tossing sticks and balls. (I think it's Irondequoit Creek if I'm not mistaken.) Reggi seemed keenly interested in these swimming dogs today so we took her to a shallow "beachy" area. She walked up to the water, stuck her nose in and decided that was enough for one day.

Now I'm off to bed, ready to start my week. Hope your weekend was enjoyable as well.
