First.....I got this goodie in the mail Saturday.
Laura picked the perfect design, fabric and
finishing for me. I have always loved this
saying and so happy to have this cute
pillow to display. This was Laura's first
pillow finish. This certainly won't be her last!

Second.....I got these goodies a few weeks ago!
You can never have enough Lizzie Kate!
I was lucky to win a giveaway from the
The Stitcher's Market. I've seen some talk
about the Sullivan's floss and can't wait to
try these two variegated aptly named
Arizona Desert and Aquamarine.

Third....my week got even better with these
goodies from Victorian Motto.
Guess I need to get busy finishing!
I just love all of Nancy's stuff and this
was certainly a generous giveaway.
Nancy just added these little grab bags on
her site and they are full of chenille, ric rac,
seam tape and buttons. I was amazed how
much was included and think I may need
to pick up a few more of these!

I have decided to stop the insanity!
My stitching time has been seriously impeded
the last 6 weeks due to work and I plan on
changing that this week. To kick it off, I have
started BBD's Casting a Spell. Stitching the little
motifs is actually pretty rewarding since I can
celebrate each as a little finish. Hopefully
I can get them all done before halloween!

If you made it this far...thanks for giving
me a little nugget of your time.
Wishing you a happy, stitchy week....
Good luck with stopping the insanity! A lovely collection of goodies has come your way. I especially love the ric rac!
