THE OLD POOP, BLOGGER, WON'T LET ME UPLOAD ANY PHOTOS RIGHT NOW!
THE GOOD:
A while back I granted a wish for Trish off the San-Man board. Today I received a package from Trish granting a wish for me! Look at all these beautiful flosses! I've been wanting to try out some different varigated flosses. And... Trish made me a beautiful fob as well! I feel so lucky today! Thank you Trish!
MORE GOOD:
I also received in today's mail a package from Lee @ Uniquelee Yours. These are some charts I've been eyeing and figured I should get before the new stuff comes out on the On-Line Stitching Show. From La-D-Da Mares Eat Oats and Bushel & A Peck, From The Prairie Schooler Country Wise and the 2009 Santa, and as always, Lee includes a gift from her, Lizzie Kate's Fall Squared.
THE BAD:
I ran out of the blue floss (The Gentle Art Sampler Threads Purple Iris) on my Rememberance piece. Lee sent me what she had in stock but it's obvious that dye lot will be an issue. Unfortunately, the labels don't indicate dye lot so it's going to be real difficult to fix this. Dang!! Way too much purple (but what could I expect for a color named Purple Iris)!
THE ...:
Today is my 2nd Blogversary! Now, I want to do a give-away but this is my problem... I don't know what since this is both a stitching & quilting blog! Sooooo...(can you tell I like those dots?) I'm going to let you choose your own gift. I'll give the winner a $20 gift certificate/credit to their favorite LNS/ONS or LQS/OQS. And the rules are really simple (no having to reference your blog back here although I would love your blog addy so I can check it out), just leave a comment on this post with you e-mail addy between now and the 13th (my ##th birthday). How easy is that?

Happy Blogiversary! I have just started a blog, but it is not worth looking at yet! So much to learn.
ReplyDeleteI made quilt tops for about five years, but have gone back to my first love, cross stitch, again. Some friends and I just started a small Blackbird Designs group.

Maybe someone who sees your post can fix you up with a bluer shade of Purple Iris. Sadly, I don't have the color at all. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYou've really been blogging for two years already?! The time flies! I'd love to be included in your drawing. :)
How neat, include me in please. Happy blogoversary.

Barb, Just discovered you blog and I've enjoyed reading through it. Like you, my Mom is both a cross-stitcher and a quilter. I'm envious of the ability to quilt. Hoping to learn it some day.
ReplyDeleteI was excited to see your post of the charts you bought, especially the one by La-D-Da "Mares Eat Oats". I think I have to go search that one out and do it for my soon to be Grandbaby. That was one of my daughter's favorite songs when she was little.
I'd love to be entered in your giveaway! And an early Happy Birthday!

Hi Barb,
ReplyDeleteI came to your blog by way of Barbara of Mainely Stitching. I have a skein of GAST Purple Iris that looks to be half blue and half purple. I'm not sure if that will help you or not. If you are interested in a picture of it or something, let me know (jenna at magees dot net).
I wish I could help you with the Purple Iris. I heard of your blog from Barbara/Mainly Stitching. I'll have to read through. Happy blogiversary! I would love a chance at your giveaway! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogversary!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I just checked and I don't have that colour GAST, I hope you find some soon!
ReplyDeleteLove to play in your generous giveaway (I like both too!) and happy blogoversary! :)
