1. I got some happy mail! Now I must remind you of my lack of photographic skillz, so you just KNOW all this stuff looks WAY better in real life than I can capture here.
My happy mail was from Stefani of Pine Tree Designs. Make sure to check out her blog for her new in-the-works stuff, too. She was going to send me a name tag I could stitch and wear for my holiday shows, but she included a BUNCH more stuff in the box. She is a sweetie. Here's a few of the items:
A post-it note holder:
And these three items:
This is one of the pins:
THANK YOU, Stefani! I may not be able to wait until next September to come up to Rochester to do a show. Maybe the Spring!
2. I told you I have no mojo. None. Today I set up the Projects Table because my Stamp Camps are NEXT WEEKEND. Check out how much I have done so far:
Oh, see those wall parts just beyond the table? Yeah, they'll live there until the 12th when I'll put them BACK in the car for my shows on the 13th and 20th.
3. Wednesday night I met up with BR #2, aka: RuffHaven, so we could eat some beast. And I needed to be served, so this worked out well. Here's where we went:


Then dinner arrived:

We had a great time catching up and blabbing and just relaxing. We need to do that more often.
4. See these baskets? -->

5. One of my stops today was Trader Joe's. I almost never go there because I inevitably buy more of what I don't need than what I went in for. Today was no different, but I think I actually came out ahead. I went in for these:

While I was there, I picked up a jar of this:

6. Moss. I planted moss. One of my tweeps didn't believe me, but it's true, and if you've been here for a while, you'll remember I've done this before. BR #2 has a plethora of moss at her place, and during this season's transplant effort, she was kind enough to drop off a bag of the goodness for me to plant. See -->
Okay, that's it. At least I've established I am ALIVE and well, even if I have no mojo for stamping. I sure hope to get a clue on Sunday, though.
Thanks for stopping by!
I've heard that if you spray the ground with buttermilk, it will help the moss to spread. Never tried it - just saying. :)
ReplyDeleteThose stitched pieces are beautiful! There is a woman who comes into my LSS that does similar stuff but she is a genius with a kraft knife, as well. Intricate cuts and stitching combined = some stunning cards. I tried hand stitching on a card once. I won't do it again, it was a mess. Even Spirelli makes my head hurt. I hope your mojo shows up soon.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for the link to my blog...now your 3 or 4 other readers might come read me too.

ReplyDeleteYes buttermilk or beer...give that moss a good drink before the ground freezes.
