How does one keep busy on a beautiful, but warm, October weekend. With baseball of course! The boys had games and practices both days that kept us running all over the place.
For other events in my life, let me go back a few days. On Thursday, Brett, Anna and myself were able to meet up with Peggy Lee of the Kentucky Sampler. We started with a two hour session at Starbuck's. The rest of our day consisted of shopping at the Strawberry Sampler and Kohls, then off to lunch. We had a ton of fun!
Here we all are at the Sampler.
Here's Peggy Lee at lunch - did you see the name of that BBQ sauce?
This tote bag is from a general store in Kentucky where Peggy Lee is from. The back tells the story of the store and the front shows the picture. A girl can never have enough tote bags - thanks Peggy Lee! I love it and I know it will enter the rotation of bags I use to carry my stitching.
How appropriate to find a package waiting for me when I arrived home that contained the traveling pattern that originated with Peggy Lee! The blue shown under the pattern is the journal where each stitcher is documenting their project details and leaving special notes for Peggy Lee to read when it finally arrives back home. The fabric at the bottom is what I'll be stitching on - 32count Antique Gold by Silkweaver. My thread choices will remain a secret until I finish. I put my other projects aside and started working on this Thursday evening. The perfect way to finish my day.
The following are some goodies that I won from June at Butterfly Wings. I may have to stitch up a few of those motifs from Anchor for some Christmas ornaments! Thank you so much June!
I want to take a moment to say hello to my new followers! Oh, and Ned the Gnome has done some more traveling. To see what he's been up to, click the picture in my sidebar!
Thanks for stopping by!

Thanx for dropping by my blog. That is indeed a cute tote. I agree. A girl can never have enough of those ^.^ Can't wait to see what floss you pick for the traveling pattern.

Nothing like sharing a day with stitching friends! I hope you enjoy that piece you are going to start stitching. I love it! I love anything with an alphabet on it and I also love things stitched in black. Humm...what color will you choose? Maybe red?
Hugs from Holland ~
