Since Typepad seems to be experiencing some problems today, I will make this short. First--the May Essy's Friends arrived! The design is "A Giving Heart" by Drawn Thread. I really like this one and want to stitch it soon, but my plate is rather full at the moment, so I will keep it by my bedside. It looks like a quick stitch and finish!
As for my naughtiness--I went to the bookstore/cross stitch shop that I mentioned a few days ago. I was quite pleased when I discovered that she has a small selection of stitching supplies and charts. I need to add some little treats to some gifts that I am sending out soon, and this seemed like the perfect solution to not ordering online and overspending! Hahaha! When I found the place (not too far from my home), it is the tiniest of bookstores. Within that tiny store she has a tiny room with a small selection of floss, beads, some linen, and charts. How much damage can be done I asked myself. Well, more than you can imagine. Once my pile was tallied up, I guiltily handed over my credit card. Ugh. So much for being good. Most of the items are not for me, but still I should have came in with a list. A few items were pricier kits that I got half off, but still! I can share a few things--that are for me (tomorrow perhaps). Oh well. I have really been very good, and I will just hop back up on that wagon again! Sometimes I little splurge is needed now and then, right?!
