Winning...

Hey, Friends!

I’m such a lucky lady lately!  I won a giveaway from Stitch Bitch!  After watching all her crafts for each day of March, I was loving some of the things she had done, and then she had a giveaway of all things Red-White-Blue.  Look what the winnings included!  When I opened the box, I was surprised that it was in a quart jar – nice packaging!  Of all the things, it is hard to pick a favorite, but if you twist my arm I’d have to choose the scissor fob that includes my initial C.  And I just ‘happen’ to have the perfect pair of scissors to go along with it!  Notice that Pixie had to check to see if Stella was inside there someplace…  Thank you so much, “Anna van Schurman” for picking me!  I love the gifts!

I was leaving a comment on Samplers and Santas’ blog the other day, and realized it should be a little rant on my own post!  It started like this…  **Rant  -  “I love to see posts with shops that provide fast service and accurate orders. I don't typically 'announce' those who are slow or have things listed on their site, but don't have them in reality.  Maybe I'm just pi$$y, but come on... how hard can it be to say "out of stock"? Hum... maybe this should be a post instead of a rant on your comment!”  I’m no shop owner, and if I were I might have a different opinion, but if you say, “if an item is Out of Stock we will order it for you unless it says No Longer Available.”  I can make the decision if I want to wait, or not order it.  Shop Owners, the enticements of having OOP (out of print) items, and yes, I will usually see if there’s anything else I’d like from your store, don’t leave a good opinion in my mind.  Okay, that’s it!  -  End Rant**

To end on a positive note… remember those eggs I dyed in an onion-skin dye?  Well, since the liquid was still there, I decided to throw in some Belgium Oyster linen to see what happened.  I really like the results – what do you think?

Hope your weekend is beautiful, and that you have a while for stitching.
Wait – this is IHSW (International Hermit Stitch Weekend) April 20-22.  Check it out to see what it’s all about!

Oh - it's also the New Moon, so it's TuSAL time à

Thanks for stopping by, today and always.  Each of your kind words are appreciated!

I'm grateful for shops who really want my continued business!

PeaceëLoveëJoy
and Happy Stitching
