Fun Friday

Last week was kinda weird for me. After finishing the two little projects I just couldn't focus on any stitching. I wanted to do a ornament for the ILCS exchange and started 3 different ones, didn't like any of them so just threw up my hands and said I need a day out. Nancy was also having a stressful week and we decided a day of shopping and playing tourist was just the ticket we needed.

I printed off the JoAnn's coupons for both of us and we started our day there were we both found some good buys. Tracy found the aisle with the Christmas stitching kits, all on sale (told you he is a really good or maybe it's bad, enabler. This is what I got......

I have wanted the Dimensions "JOY" kit since I saw Nancy M and Tracy W stitch it. The best part was it was marked 1/2 off and I got another 40% off that. I will change the fabric out since I really don't like the 14 count Aida. The little kits are really cute (I have one finished already) and will make fun quick stitches for the tree.

We then decided we would have lunch before heading for the strip. We went to "Sweet Tomatoes" Salad and Soup and it was really yummmmy. We will sure go back there again.

After resting our feet and filling our tummies we headed for the strip. Since moving here Nancy really hasn't had a chance to see any of the sights so we played tour guide.

The display at the Belliago has now changed to the Fall display so that is where we headed. If you click on the pictures you will see a bigger picture and more detail.

Nancy and Me





After looking in some of the shops and seeing the Fountain show we headed down the street to the Flamingo to see the waterfalls and birds.

Turtles. Nancy said she knew what they were thinking but I'll leave what she thought to your own imagination hehehe

Ducks at one of the waterfalls. This is usually where my favorite Swan hangs out be she wasn't there and I missed seeing her.

By this time it was getting late so we headed back to the car (after a short stop to drop some pennies in a slot where Nancy won and we lost). It really was a great day and we plan on doing it again real soon. We do plan to meet again this week for a stitching day at the LNS. The ladies there are so nice and friendly we decided to take them up on the invitation to join them.

I'll have a stitching update sometime tomorrow with a couple of WIP's and a little finish.

Until Next Time....Have a great stitchy week
