I Like Thursday #87

It's time for I Like Thursday! Please join LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to read more fun and positive posts. I always put this little wall hanging on my front door after Christmas. I felt it had more meaning this year. It reminded me that the inauguration was taking place and that we have a new president. I'm so glad everything worked out as scheduled without any violence. Such a relief!

I attended an online continuing education Tuesday night. We heard a lot of information on different anti-wrinkle products on the market. The bottom line was that the only thing that really works are retinols and moisturizer. I went to Sephora and bought this for $9.99. I still use a pricy cream but would like to use this and see what happens. 

I bought these cute little towels for my first floor bathroom. So cute for Valentine's Day!




I received a fun package from American Quilter's Society. I got a $20 gift certificate when I extended my membership for another year. They used to send a catalog along with the magazine. It hasn't come lately. When I went online, they only had limited stock. I found these 3 items and used my gift certificate. I hope they still intend to sell merchandise. I did hear they were not going to publish anymore books.  They always had fun stuff and great fabric.

That's my week! I hope all is well with you. Enjoy the weekend!

  1. I’m curious as to how you hang your little flag quilt? A command hook?

    1. I sewed a dowel onto the back. It hangs great on the hook I have on my door that I usually use for wreaths.

A Couple of Finishes
