I've been making a good bit of progress on Spring Sampler the past couple of weeks. I stitched on it last night and decided to work on it this afternoon. The last word in the verse is "together" and I'm not sure why I didn't go ahead and finish it this evening; sometimes it's just time to stop, if you know what I mean. The bottom half of the sampler has two more sections with the pink flowers, one on the lower right edge and one on the bottom, them several critter motifs under the verse. It's really cute; I'm enjoying it.
I made a quick trip to JoAnn's yesterday afternoon to pick up some of the perle cotons for Sophie's Stocking, which will be a comanion to Robert's Stocking. I did get the charms for Robert, just haven't got them attached yet. JoAnn's didn't have all the fibers I needed, so I'll do an LNS visit for those. Would have gone to the LNS yesterday except that she would have been closed by the time I got there and I just HAD to go get these fibers, dontcha know!
I went to our library's summer reading kick-off event last week and while there I entered a 50/50 raffle. Imagine my surprise when I got home from work the next day to a message on my machine telling me that I'd won! I drove to the library to pick up my prize, thinking it was probably around $100 (there were a lot of people at the event). When they gave me the envelope with the prize in it, it didn't feel very thick, so I thought "hmm, must be big bills". Then I felt some change in the envelope. Hmmmm, again. So I opened the envelope when I got back in the car to discover that my winnings were.......$8.50! Yep, that's eight dollars and fifty cents. I believe they divided up the raffle proceeds and drew winners for multiple days. I had a good laugh at myself on the way home!
The cats appear to be deep in conversation. One can only imagine what they're saying.
"You distract her and I'll get the door open, then we'll blow this popcorn stand!"
Wishing everyone a good week and happy stitching!

I guess they don't know the meaning of 50/50! Or else people were surprisingly tight-fisted with the library!
Well, that's $8.50 more than you had the day before!
LOL at the $8.50 prize. I hope it at least covered the cost of your gas! LOL ;)
Nice stitching!
