Wow, Barbara got busy today on my Neighborhood RR - that lady doesn't waste any time :-) I love her start! She is also telling me she is nervous - hope she relaxes, I know I will love whatever she adds, and I already love this Elizabeth's Designs start! Thanks B! I was also thrilled today to receive Veronica's RR. Now I can begin to start thinking of a fun addition to her RR too - hers is very, very delicate. I spent 90 minutes tonight looking at charts and beginning to formulate some ideas for her.
So... with the SAL project completed during the daytime today, I had no excuse not to go right back to work on MTM again tonight... And am getting closer to the corner now :-) Wow, my WIPS folder for this project on my computer is getting huge now - almost as big as last year's garden file already LOL! And, it was New DVD Release Tuesday - got a creepy one, The Hills Have Eyes - LOL, wanna come over this weekend and watch with me??
OK, so now that I am 40+, my metabolism and I are at constant battle... today I received my order from Amazon which contains Ultrametabolism - I have been on a low and/or controlled carb diet for over four years now. The write ups I have read on this book have pointed me this way - a possible good adjunct to my existing controlled diet... and I loved this author's previous book, Ultraprevention. I am pretty excited about this - I just have to find time to read it now. In the order, was a cool cross stitch book too - one with the gorgeous Double Band Sampler in it: Olwyn's Treasured Samplers - Karen saw the Double Band Sampler (partially pictured on the cover) done up at a needlework show in Australia a few months back and simply raved about it - she put a pic of that work somewhere in her blog... I was very excited to get the book!! There are not many double band samplers in existence, so it's uniqueness is very appealing.
Stitched on today: Garden Spot Sampler (yay, finished!) and Medieval Town Mandala

Garden Spot Sampler is gorgeous! I'm falling in love with your MTM too.
Congratulations on a lovely finish Carol :) It's lovely.
I am so enjoying reading your blog....any visits from the bar lately? My little man Liam is VERY keen to know if he has returned. He would also like to know if he is as big as a car, or smaller...I said I didn't know....I've never seen a bear in real life.
Congratulations on your finish! Garden Spot Sampler is beautiful!
Carol, GSS looks terrific, nice job. And the MTM is just such a breathtaking piece. I am in awe of your stitching. :)

Your finish looks great carol. Do you have any idea of where you are going to hang it? Ohhh MTM is getting close too. :)
Oh b*gger, I just realised I hadn't commented to say "huge congrats" on getting Garden Spot Sampler finished - way to go, chickadee! I bet you didn't think you were ever going to get it finished! LOL. :D I'm a slack tart who is still soooooo far behind with blog reading hmmm :(
