RAK and Halloween

Today was a great day I must say. I did some homework, stitched a lot, went to the cross stitch store in Bedford and was RAKd. I bought Mirabilia's new Halloween Fairy. I love it! I am not a huge fan of Miribilia. Well, I love how they all look but I don't have a strong desire to stitch them. Weird. But this Halloween Fairy is so cool. And I was looking at the Christmas Fairy holding the little tree. I have to do that one too. Oh, and the Easter Fairy with the little eggs. Okay, I have to do that one too. So, I can't wait to start the Halloween Fairy. I also picked up The Blessing by Examplars from the Heart. I got some R & R Reproduction Fabric for it. I need to start writing down the fabrics I get b/c I can never remember their names. And I got all the WDW threads for it too and there were some interesting ones...Noel, Old Glory, Conch, Kentucky Bluegrass...this is going to be one interesting design. I wonder which Autumn it will be done in...06, 07, 08. I love stitching Fall and Halloween. It's my favorite stitching holiday.

So, I saw a really good friend of mine today and she surprised me with a just because gift. She gave me Examplars from the Heart's Leslie's Peacock Sampler, beautiful 32ct Country French Latte linen and all the CC threads to stitch it. It was such a sweet thing to do and really made my day. It was a RAKing. I can't wait to start stitching it. The colors are so beautiful; reds, blues, golds, greens. It put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

Oh, and good news, I finished Remember Me from Blackbird Designs. I love the way it came out. Some of the brownish colors are a little too similar but I still love it. Yea. I wish I could remember the name of this linen because it was great to work on. Must write down linen names.

It's 10:30pm, I have the munchies, and cereal is the best invention next to ice cream.
