Thanks Jo & Becky! ... July ReCap & August Goals

My birthday kept going today! I just received this adorable little scissor fob from Jo! Thanks so much Jo, I adore it!!!! I remember admiring this on her blog when she first stitched it. That was so sweet of you, Jo!! And, she even sent me a skein of Waterlilies from my Wish List.... she just totally spoilt me! Thanks so much :-)

And, also a huge thank you to Becky too! I got a slip to go to the PO, so I went later this afternoon - she sent me the fabric for And They Sinned - I don't know what to say to all of you for your sweet generosity! This blows me away!! I am blushing here... thank you.
Nope, sorry.... no happy dance tonight. I think I could have completed the stitching tonight, but I lost my power and wanted to do other things this evening - hey, it happens :-) I have just a little of the flower stems at the bottom to do, and the beading now...

I received my two 32 ct lugana fat quarters of Sugar Maple Fabric today - Tartan (which is calling out for a mermaid to be stitched on it... just don't know which one) and Kronos :-)
And, I received the Monthly Bits from Stitching Bits & Bobs - very pastel collection this month with a skein of Ozark Sampler floss in Tropical Breeze, a skein of Weeks Dye Works floss in Bashful, a skein of NPI silk in 511 Mint Green Range, a skein of Dinky Dyes silk in Whitsundays (didn't she send me DD Whitsundays cotton floss recently??), a skein of GAST Simply Shaker floss in Lexington Green, and a skein of NN floss in 104...

I had forgotten - I got a little closer to rounding out my Mirabilia chart collection earlier this week by getting Sleeping Beauty - I used to have this, but gave it away at one point... and today I got House on Acorn Hill for a steal :-)
