Kelly Miller Circus was in town tonight

It's been a few years since we had been to this circus.  I like it very much and it sold out.  Tigers, zebras, llamas, camels, dogs and goats that do tricks, trapeze, jugglers, elephants, clowns and a man who eats and breathes fire (don't try this at home!).  A good show and a lot of fun.

Missed stitching night and it just dawned on me that I didn't get a reminder email.

Non-sequitur alert: I ordered a new chart plus all the kitted supplies from Shepherd's Bush today (check out their blog).  It's an Americana theme; just in time for the Fourth of July.

Bought yarn today at All About Yarn

Yesterday at Joann Fabrics I bought Knitsimple magazine and really liked scarf 9, the Checkerboard Scarf.  With the shop owner's help I bought Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash PAINTS in yellows.  I also bought Feza Yarn Alp Premier in blues and yellows.  This should look great when worked up.

Non sequitur: I want to be at the beach.

Went to the LNS today

 Snow, sleet and ice are on the way tonight.  Had to get more projects because I'd hate to not have anything to stitch. LOL.

I bought Merry Eweies by Homespun Elegance, It's Snowing Men! by Just Nan, and the one I'm going to start stitching tonight: May I by All Through the Night.  I must say that I consider the fabric choice of WDW Onyx to be a typo.  I am using Copper Penny.

Three orders for Nashville goodies placed

Stitches 'n Things, ABC Stitch Therapy and Wasatch Needlework got my orders this time.  Drema at Needlecraft Corner will get an order after I get paid again. LOL. I like the new Shepherd's Bush A Tisket, A Tasket. I really love the mat set.  Way to go Jill!

The Wienerland half is done!

I just now put the last stitch in the right half of Winter Wienerland.  Now to blog about it about it rather than working on the left side.  It's a stitcher thing.  ;)

I'm getting the Lizzie Kate LE with the red fabric.  I think that will accent the piece nicely.  The other shop I ordered from sent an email that it mails to me tomorrow!  That's another good reason to work on the left side of Winter Wienerland.

My first purple package!

I ordered my first kit from Bedecked and Beadazzled and it arrived in a very pretty purple mailing envelope.  I look forward to ordering again! LOL

My Crazy Annie's order

I had to place an order today!  :)  I found a 12 Days of Christmas design that I had not ever seen before.  On 32 ct they'll be 5 x 7.  I am currently working on The 12 Days of Christmas in the January 2014 issue of Cross-Stitch and Needlework magazine. I'm working them as individuals.  Maybe to hang around a wreath?? I like that idea. :)

Ocean City judging school

I enjoyed the classes yesterday.  I took my box lunch to the atrium and enjoyed watching the ocean while I ate.  Very restful.

I'm reading Without Fail by Lee Child.  Very good as always!  We brought lunch to the hotel and I ate on the balcony.  The weather is unseasonably warm...and I'm loving every warm minute of it. :)

Tomorrow is a partial eclipse of the Sun and if it's clear, we can see it from the coast.  I'm looking forward to it.

Went to Salty Yarns today.  As always they had a lot of great xs.  Some of it is now mine. ;)

More new stash!

Yesterday I got Shepherd's Bush stash in the mail from The Strawberry Sampler!  All are new releases from market. I'm starting Hocus Pocus first. :)  I also bought the tiny Fright Night and the large Halloween kit Garden Spells.
