Hobby Lobby and In Stitches
and I visited a stitching store and came away with nothing. Then we moved along to Alexandria where I visited In Stitches. What a wonderful store with a lot of great stuff. As you can see I bought afew things to enhance my stash. Lovely pieces of LSL, a hornbook design with the hornbook, LK Boo Sampler, SB Halloween kit, RTR Halloween kit and because I can't resist scissors, the new cat snipes. It was a really nice experience except for the torrential rain. I really wanted to take a picture of the front of the store. It was beautiful, all decked out for fall.
I didn't do alot of stitching on vacation. I did start this Thanksgiving design. I am going to love this piece. After we left Virginia we headed up to Staten Island, New York to visit Joanne's family. Her family is Italian. Talk about great food. Ate to much and loved every bite. We shopped there to but it was for Italian pastry and cookies and bread. What can I say, some of my favorite things. They have a store just for cookies, it was amazing. Over 100 kinds of cookies. Should have taken some pictures.
We got home Sunday evening and this was waiting for me. I jumped right in and will try to finish it tomorrow. Cleaning and doing laundry got in my way today. I just love these monthly designs by LHN.
I am going to miss my stitching group tomorrow because I am going into Boston with one of my dearest friends, Kathy. She is a breast cancer survivor. Two years ago a lump was found during her mammogram. She asked that I go with her for all her appointments because of our friendship and because I am a nurse. I took notes and asked questions and tried to be supportive. She ended up having a lumpectomy because of other issues. I went to a number of her chemo treatments. Kathy was wonderfully brave during the whole process. So tomorrow, she will have an appointment for a mammogram, see her oncologist and her surgeon. I know it will all go well. Then we are going to lunch and do alittle shopping to celebrate her 2 year anniversary free of cancer. Tomorrow is a great day.
Thanks for visiting my blog and I love all the comments that you leave. I am trying to catch up on all of your blogs. I must say that I did miss reading and blogging last week. Until next time- Happy Stitching!

Let me answer some questions from my last post. I was asked about how quickly I finished my projects. I have always been very fast. Stitching is my therapy and I must try to stitch everyday. I usually stitch just at night. If I have some time during the day, I will do some but life usually gets in the way.
I want to thank every one for the kind comments on the decorations. I was asked about some of the figurines. They are Jim Shore and Williraye's. I have collected both for years. I appreciate and love all the comments that you leave. Til next time--Happy Stitching

Some Wonderful Things
I need to thank everyone for the kind comments and emails regarding Sammi. Everyone was so sweet to think about my baby. She is doing remarkably well since the addition of the medication. Almost no coughing and much perkier. We will be going back into Boston tomorrow for her cardiac tests but I am sure that she will be fine.
Please check out Nataly's Needle Creations because she is having a wonderful Pink Giveaway!
I was picked by Edgar to be in his PIF and now I will be hosting one of my own. Sometime in the next 365 days , I will send a stitched and finished item to 3 recipients. I will choose 3 people who leave a comment on this post. ( anyone can comment but please state that you want to be in the PIF in the comment) In return, you must host a PIF for 3 other stitchers. I hope that I haven't confused the heck of you all. Until next time--Happy Stitching.

Halloween Favorites
Sammi who is going on 17 years old had developed a cough, which could have been caused by tracheal collapse or heart disease. It was getting pretty bad. My local vet said that nothing could be done for her because of her age. So off to Angell Vet Hospital in Boston. They are a teaching hospital that treats all animals. They have all the same departments as a people hospital. It's wonderful place. They did x-rays, blood and urine. She was examined by the cardiologist who felt that it is probably congestive heart failure and she has been started on a course of medication to get rid of the fluid around her heart. She will have a heart ultrasound next week. It's remarkable the change in her in just 24 hours. The coughing is much better. Of course, she needs to go out more but we can handle that.
Thanks for all the kind well wishes for my baby. I appreciated them.
I will post again very soon. I was chosen by Edgar for a PIF and I will be asking 3 others to join my PIF. So if anyone is interested, I will post the rules on my next post. Until then --Happy Stitching!
