WOO HOO! Good mail!

Isn't it great to get stuff you want in the mail instead of bills all the time?  I ordered some things and they came in.  Of course the bills will come in soon enough since I put them on the cards.

Want to see them?  That's good because I'm going to post them anyway.  :)

First up is my new earrings.  Aren't they cute?  I'm not sure when or where I'll wear them but I couldn't resist.


 The next purchase that came in isn't THAT exciting but they are colorful. These are the little clips that I use when I put on binding on my quilts.  I've think I've seen some pictures of people using them in cross stitch also to hold threads on large projects and they park the threads.



This is another not too exciting purchase but more of a necessity.  Really I did need this.  I'm positive that I needed another ruler.  We all need more rulers.  I like this one because it is a 2 1/2" x 6".  I wanted a six inch ruler because it is easier to move around.


I have some larger templates/grid square up rulers or whatever they were called ordered but they aren't here yet.  I also received something else but can't show it quite yet since I am giving one of them to somebody.

This week I should get my cone of DMC white six strand embroidery floss.  THEN I will be taking out the white that I have stitched on The Holy Grail and restitch it so it all is the same dye lot and I know it will match.

That's about it this time.  Have a great evening everybody.

Yay to retail therapy! I have one of those clear plastic "rulers" - I bought it years ago when I started quilting, but now it gets used for all sorts of stuff, coz it's just so useful. Of course, it's in inches, which is a pain when everything else is in metric, but still super-useful.

Cute earings!

What to work on Next

    I finished the owl and it will be sent off to my friend Susan as soon as I get my stamps.  I had forgotten to get some for the season so...
