Halloween and Christmas

It’s been an interesting week. I’ve been down with a migraine, so no stitching. I did finish reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire though. Only two more to read before the release of the last one. I am so loving re-reading these. Earlier in the week I did finish stitching my latest travel project. I think I may finish this into a pinkeep to try my hand at one.

I had some good mail this week too. My fabric for the Neighborhood RR finally arrived. It is 36ct Meadow Rue by Lakeside Linens. I don’t think I’ve ever stitched anything on their fabric, so I thought I’d give it a try. I love the color! The theme for my neighborhood is going to be Halloween/Fall. I plan to stitch the graveyard from Village of Hawk Run Hollow in my block. What fun! I also found Prairie Schooler’s New World Sampler, which I have been wanting forever. I saw a model of this in my LNS several years ago, but it was already out of print at that time. So, I’ve been watching ebay for it at a good price. And now, it’s mine!

I also purchased a Prairie Schooler chart from Missy. This is such a cute wintry scene, I can’t wait to stitch it up. Melissa kindly sent along some PS freebies for me too. Thanks so much!!

I am really looking forward to the three-day weekend coming up, since Memorial Day is Monday. I plan to do a little sewing on my Kimonos quilt on Monday. I can’t wait! I’ve been doing a little reading and a little knitting this week, but as I said no stitching to speak of. I hope that I am back up to par tomorrow. I’ll take it easy again tonight. Thanks for all of your sweet comments on my Mermaid box and our San Antonio photos, I appreciate it!

I am grateful for shopping at the office supply store, I love pens!

  1. Oooh, thanks for reminding me… I’ve been planning to re-read the HP series before reading the last one, too. Better get started soon, I guess LOL

    The PS Christmas Village has been on my wish list for some time now. Great find! That spider charm really adds a nice touch to your little finish!

    Wonderful finish! Congratulations on the PS sampler – that is a lovely one.

    In regards to the movie quote, it comes from The Princess Bride, when Wesley is bluffing to the prince (just before, ‘ “My God! What is that thing,” reaches your perfect ears’).
