I'm so thrilled to have a working keyboard again. The darn New Kitty ran behind the computer armoire and tore out the keyboard cable, bending the prongs. Anyone want a New Kitty??? No, I'll keep her, but I was quite put out by her antics. I bought a warranty with the keyboard so I packed it back into the box it came in and carried it over to the shop. Nope! My warranty is for calling in, not bringing in (maybe I should have read the warranty! LOL). I called immediately upon getting back home and they said they'll send a UPS mailing label. Once UPS scans the label, they'll send me a gift card (!) to purchase a new keyboard. Well, it hasn't been hardly a week and I couldn't stand being without a working keyboard! I've caved in and bought a new one. The nice part is it's the same model keyboard, but half the price. Oh, I'll still turn in the broken one, but I'm thinking of getting a better mouse with the gift card. :)
I've been a stitching fool since I couldn't go on the computer after work. I've finished a few small things, but I'm very pleased with my finishes. I'm still concentrating on Halloween although last night I sorted the floss for a Dimensions needlepoint kit I bought to stitch for my brother for Christmas. No, not this Christmas! LOL For next Christmas.
I went kind of crazy the other day while placing an order with Drema of Needlecraft Corner http://www.needlecraft-corner.com I really only needed two skeins of Crescent Colours' Black Coffee, but ordered Peaceful Paradise by Midsummer Night Designs, Still Waters by Plum Street Samplers, the last couple of cat charts by Calico Crossroads, and Coq Au Pins and the accessory pack by Twisted Oaks Designs. I might have picked up the Halloween Tree and button pack by M Designs. At the retreat I saw this stitched on a wonderful yellow fabric (by R&R, I think) and I bought the fabric there.
I really want to stitch Shepherd Bush's Brett's Stocking (I also picked up this chart at the retreat earlier this month), but I need the fabric and fibers. Drema has a nice package for the stocking so I'll have to call her again this month. Wish I would win the lottery so I could keep on buying everything I like!!!

I hope you actually get the right threads from Needlecraft Corner. I know a lot of stitchers like them, but after my experience, I will never use them again.
