Winter Sheep

Here is a little wip pic of the ornament I started for Myrtle Beach. It's Winter Sheep by LHN. It's been a fun stitch so far. I'm liking stitching something smaller than Shores! :)



I'm not sure how Im going to finish it yet. I love the way. Vonna does her ornaments. They're so cute! I might attempt something like that or just do a little pillow.

While at Amy's last weekend we stopped by her local Vera Bradley shop and I got a case to carry my iPad and Kindle. It was a great deal at 40% off. When I got home I wasn't sure about the color, but now I'm really liking it.





Well, I'd better get back to my ornament. Myrtle Beach is only nine days away now!! :)

Sweet Treats

I worked on Sweet Treats last night. The new installment is out and I should be getting it in the mail pretty soon from Handcrafts Online, so I thought I'd stitch as much as I could until I got the pattern.

I also got a new Vera Bradley bag yesterday (which you all know is my other weakness). It's the Laptop Case in Mod Floral Pink. I have been looking at it for a long time. I thought it would make a perfect little cross stitch bag...

Zippered side pocket - perfect for keys, glasses, wallet, etc.

I'll probably get back to Sampler Lady today unless Sweet Treats #2 comes in the mail and then I'll work on that. Write later! :)

A Little Finish

I started the little Lizzie Kate the other day and got it finished up last night. It turned out cute, but I think my thread (Red Grape) used in the words "Be Mine" was old because it wasn't as dark as the picture. Oh well, I'm not going to change it now, it's done! :)

Started: 1/27/08 - Finished: 1/29/08

And I was a little bad yesterday I stopped at my LVBS (Local Vera Bradley Shop) to check out what they had left of the retiring styles and they had one Little Travel Case left and it was 50% off! It's in the Capri Melon colorway, which is pretty bright, but cute and springy I think. :)

Well, that's all for now! I'm trying to decide what I should get back to now. Quaker Christmas? Brave Hearts? P&P? Hmmm... Decisions, decisions! :) Write later!

A Little More Prairie Sampler

Well, we made it to our hotel room. I told Bradley as part of his Christmas present that we could stay in a hotel on our way up. He loves hotels, so it's a very big treat for him. And an extra big treat because all the rooms have Tempur-Pedic beds. He was fascinated by the commercial with the girl jumping on the bed and not spilling her wine. :) I did get a little more stitching done on PS. The picture is a little funny, but you get the idea.

I was feeling a little down the other day (long story), so I decided I needed a little retail therapy (like a hole in the head). I treated my self to a new Vera Bradley bag.

It's called the Little Travel Case. A stitcher at the Susan Greening Davis class was telling everyone how perfect they are for holding projects and when I saw they were being discontinued I thought I'd better get one while they last! I loaded up my wips and stash and it is awesome. It holds so much! Well, I think I've rambled on enough for one night. I'm going to sink into my Tempur-Pedic bed and sleep - hopefully sleep late if the kids allow! Write later!
