Last week, Donna from Celebrations called me to say that I had won one of the raffle baskets! This is very exciting, as I hardly ever win anything. LOL I asked which one, but since everything was packaged, she wasn't sure. So it was a happy surprise when this arrived on my doorstep Friday:
- a box of Sullivan's cotton floss
- 3 patterns by Myrtle Grace Motifs (A Pitcher of Spring, ABCs of USA, and Ham in a Can)
- 2 skeins of Dinky Dyes silk - Shiraz
- Jeannette Douglas' "Autumn by the Sea," completely kitted up with floss, beads, charm, and fabric
All so pretty! I haven't used Sullivan's before, but I'm sure I'll find a use for it down the road. And I'm thinking I'll use the Dinky Dyes for my M Designs "Celtic Heart."
I also got a call from my LNS, and when I stopped by there on Friday, they had this for me:
I had requested this back when it came out, and it took so long for anyone to contact me that I assumed they'd forgotten. Oops. However, they have a "Frequent shopper" punch card, and wouldn't you know it, I had enough punches to get this for less than $2! (Very happy about that, since Celebrations ate up most of my stash budget for a while. LOL)
I'll be back later with my WIPocalypse update -- "Melville's Return" doesn't look too much different than it did when I got back from Celebrations, but there is a bit more progress to document!
