A pressie and a pic

I received a lovely surprise in the mail this afternoon after work. Ann (catandturtle) was sweet enough to send me a belated birthday present. She included a lovely sparkly fabbie, a skein of autumn shaded needle necessities thread and some piecemaker needles. Thank you so much Ann. It really improved my afternoon!! I had just spent 45 minutes in line at the grocery store, broken the sprinkler and dropped a can of coke on the carpet.





For the last two nights I have been stitching on the arm of my Woodland Fairy. I was able to complete one of the colors in her arm. I am so close, but still so far away from finishing this one. I keep thinking not too much longer and then it takes forever to complete a small section. It is worth it though...she is lovely!

Tonight, if my headache will go away, I will stitch some more on White Wedding. I also need to pull together a few small pieces to take with me this weekend when we go visit Allen's mom and grandmother. AAAhhhh a weekend at the lake:)

Your progress is looking great, Leslie :)
Sending you hugs for your B-day (sorry I missed it) and for Wednesday and you can carry them over if needed :)

Leslie, you are very welcome. I am glad it cheered you up; it doesn't sound like you were having much fun that night. :D Have a relaxing time at the lake. Ann.
