Did you know gnomes are lucky, too?!?

I think the gnomes are smiling upon me after my last little project. When DH's coworkers saw my work (which they loved, BTW), one of them remembered that she had a "big bag of embroidery stuff" left after her mother passed away last year. Yesterday DH dropped a gallon Zip-Loc bag full of floss in my stitching chair! I spent the better part of the evening turning tangled floss stuffed into Floss-Away bags into this: 38 neatly wrapped bobbins!! I don't have an immediate need for any of these colors, but hey, free stash!! Plus I can use the Floss-Away bags for my *ahem* growing collection of silks.

And now for the monthly review.
June recap:
1) Work on baby gift. Yes - somewhat briefly, but yes.
2) Finish "Happiness Is" sampler. Yes!
3) Work on "Valse de Fleurs." Yes, and surprisingly, I'm having a good time with all the specialty stitches...
5) Collect ideas for sister's wedding piece. Yep, in a folder on the desk in front me as I type.
6) Delivering Fleurs (finish?). Yes, it was finished!
Plus the gnomes, of course!

July goals:
1) Get back to "Labyrinth."
2) Continue with "Valse de Fleurs."
3) Work on the baby gift (finish, maybe?).
4) Enjoy some small, fun project(s) for myself!!!
