I came home with 2 pairs of scissors to add to my collection… and they’re laying on top of a chart I felt compelled to purchase because I fell in love with those sweet little squares!

Every morning we had a new stack of goodies at our seat. Due to an unfortunate glare you can’t see my nametag very well but it was stitched by our Event Queen, who stitched one for each of us! She also stitched everyone a Christmas ornament… mine is pictured below, another victim of the unfortunate glare.

One of my favorite projects this weekend was this Pine Mountain snowman pillow kit. I think we got about 16 or so projects over the weekend, all completely kitted up and ready to go. I really don’t know why I bother taking any of my own stitching to these Cecilia’s weekends

How cute is this cow?! He’s one of those stuffable animals, and he came filled with fabric cuts instead of fluff…

When I got home, I dumped everything out onto my kitchen table… easier to sort and put away then digging through bags. I still have a tote bag that’s almost full of threads to organize and ring, but I haven’t had time!

I’ll have to post pics of my finishes & WIPs next time… Have a lovely evening!!

Pictured above: almost all of my scissors. I know there are a few more pairs around the house, but I was too lazy busy to dig them up for the photos. I thought I’d better post pics of them here because I’m getting ready to go to my Branson retreat and I always buy at least one pair of scissors there… I want to avoid repeats but I don’t want to carry the pics around in my purse like a proud mother, you know.

I found the Christmas radio station this morning, and I’ve been listening to it and feeling merry all day!

***I won a contest on JABCO’s facebook page, and they mailed me a set of their new (and super cute) pins! The Aida in the picture is from Sassy’s Fabby’s and it’s a gorgeous golden yellow that just screams Fall. Gotta love mail days like these!

***Saturday’s doorprize winner was Tobi K. She chose the Halloween Blackwork chart:

***I gave up on Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters. I guess I’m just not a fan of Quirky Classics… I do love the cover art, though.

***My daughter is sick; I think it’s the flu. Poor girl… Wednesday is her birthday and she feels miserable!

*** 75 days until Christmas. Yep, I said it.
