My Weekend

I had a busy weekend! I went to a Stitchers get together which was so much fun. We shopped at  The Stitch and Frame Shop in Rock Hill SC. Love this shop! If you haven't yet visited this shop, oh it's a must! The staff are so wonderful and helpful too. After shopping we all had a wonderful lunch at Bonnie's. We stitched, ate, laughed and went through stash too. It was so much fun!

Here we are as a group in front of the shop: can you spot me? 

This is what I decided to purchase. I had a rebate that came in from my contact lenses, it could not have come at a better time!

Love Brenda Gervais designs!

I also came home with more stash....not as if I really needed it! Give-aways I didn't want to pass up....I need a million more years to stitch everything!

So lucky for me, a bright needle design in the bunch!! Woohoo!!!

I did good this time and didn't get lost driving. Sadly even with a GPS I can get lost :/

Upon arriving home I was so excited to see my hubby painting our bedroom a pretty color green. It is such a gorgeous green!

Cannot wait to decorate :)

I finished part 3 of Mary's Sampler from Plum Street Samplers.......

Someone so graciously is mailing me "Dashing" by Birds Of A Feather on loan so I can stitch this up for Christmas. I am anxiously awaiting! This is a very hard to find OOP chart. I am so thankful someone is willing to loan it to me!

Isn't it adorable! After I saw it on Pinterest..well, I just had to get my hands on this chart. I feel so blessed that someone would send it my way. I hope to stitch it fast enough as to not have it too long away from her!

Thank you my friend!

Maybe this time I will actually not have a UFO..and will have a finished piece because the chart is due back to someone else! lol

I should do this with all my stitching :)

Oh, and one more thing....the cutest freebie popped up today from The Little Stitcher! Perfect for Harvest Time!...If you would like to check it out... Mother Of The Harvest

I just might be stitching this one too :)

I wish you all a Blessed day today!

Stitcher's Get Together and RAK's!

What a wonderful day was had by everyone that joined in our get together this weekend in South Carolina! Stitchers met at The Stitch and Frame Shop in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where we spent some time meeting up, browsing and shopping in this wonderful store! Here is a group photo...I am the one wearing my flowered purse cross shouldered...

I purchased one chart that I fell in love with...after seeing so many bluebirds when our Son left for the military, I have been keeping my eye out for charts with bluebirds in them...I thought this one was pretty!
This is "Bluebird Sampler" by Threadwork Primitives. I picked out a really pretty Weeks Dye Works thread for the "Bluebird" in the color "Blue Bonnet"...

After shopping we all went to Bonnie's house for a wonderful lunch made by her husband...delicious chicken salad, and afterwards there were plenty of desserts provided by everyone to fill us to the brim!

The chocolate chip cookies I made that I dipped in chocolate :)

More desserts that were provided....just delicious!!! Fudge and Orange Juice Cake...

 

We then all sat and stitched..I brought along charts and magazines I wanted to give away and share...I am starting to downsize a little bit...little did I know others were doing that too...so ...I then came home with more.!! lol

This is the lot I came home with for free...such giving sweet friends!  :) So much fun sharing!
I had recently received some surprise goodies in the mail. Additions to my Raggedy Ann collection!
My sweet dear friend Jackie in PA sent me such a beautiful new "Annie" in a little purse type bag..she will fit in just perfect in my new sewing room! I love her already!
And Linda in CO sent me the neatest Raggedy Ann and Andy Greeting Card..another wonderful addition to our collection. It looks very vintage. Just perfect! Thank you my dear friends!!

I received some very WONDERFUL news!!! It looks like our Sailor will be able to come home for Thanksgiving Holidays!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am one happy Momma :)

He will be able to see our new homestead and I get to cook him a Thanksgiving dinner. I am so excited, and a little nervous, although that might sound odd...I just want it to be so PERFECT for our Son!! I miss him so much. I cannot wait!

I wish you all a Blessed Sunday.
