Toggles and Enabling


Hi,
Went camping this weekend up near Allentown. What a nice relaxing weekend and the weather cooperated. While we were there I visited Cabela's and Stitchin N Stuf. Stitchin n Stuff is a great store lots of charts, kits and threads. I picked up an oldie Mill Hill Sept/Oct Simply Seasonal Welcome Kit , I saw it on their website, but I wanted to see the LNS so off we went. Saw other things, but trying to keep my stash building to a minimum. Also received my confirmation to the Stitcher's Jamboree at Salty Yarns. Tonight I made plane and car reservations to visit my mom in FL for a week. About the toggles, went to Joann's tonight and picked up some toggle buttons to fix a springy trash can for the camper. The trash can has velcro to keep it closed but it never worked, so I got frustrated with it and decided to sew on toggle buttons (it had loops on it) to secure it closed. Much happier with it now. Hope you all had a great weekend. Enjoy your week. Hope you get a chance to stitch. Til next time, S n MD

Weekend and Enabling


Spent the weekend Thurs-Sun with my niece and nephew. My sister and her husband went away for the weekend. We had a good time.....we ate out, shopping, played video games, and did some crafting. We made a foam Booville Halloween Shops. I went to the LNS and picked up the JCS Christmas ' Magazine, and I found at Books a Million, October's The Cross Stitcher which has couple of Fall related patterns I want to stitch. Lisa over at Hockey Mom Stitchin Hobby was the enabler, I just love the Trick or Treat and Fall Lineup. So more to stitch. All was a lot of fun. No stitching this weekend, I planned on it and had it out but our neighbors came by and picked up the sofa and the old tv.....so we helped them load them in the truck. Hope everyone was able to stitch....

Cant come up with a title for post!

This weekend we spent at my sister house, playing video games, reading and shopping. We went to the Days of Knights Game Store. If you are looking for board games that is the place to go. Lots of great strategy board games. We stopped at Marshall's also in Newark and what a nice Marshalls lots of stock and well organized. Today is Labor Day and we are doing chores around the house and doing some reading, not sure if I will get the stitching mojo today. It is overcast and kinda gloomy outside. Hope everyone reading is having a good weekend. Til next time,

What's Happening! Finish too!


Hi,
Been a while, I finished Witches Fate this past Sunday before we went to the dinner theater to see Oklahoma. It was a good show. Working on the Krenik's Happy Jack this week hope to finish it up soon it has been a UFO in my stitching. Here is a pic of Witches Fate, not sure how I am going to finish it. Not much else is new....work is busy, looking forward to going out to dinner with friends tomorrow. My LNS called today to let me know the latest JABC Teacup is in. Will make a trip to pick that up. Looking forward to the 3 day weekend. Til next time,
