I met my goal for tonight - I finished the last of the small ponds on Mystery IX, Part 10. With a lot of rain and wind forecasted for the weekend, I am holing myself up to work on this until it is finished. I have some very small spring bulbs that we bought to support the cute little girls across the street (one of those school selling for funds deals) that I hope I can plant tomorrow (weather permitting), and on Sunday I will be happy to deal with the trick or treaters... but other than that, I am not dealing with anyone or anything. I need the alone time in a big way.I worked a lot on a gift this afternoon, and it was a lot of fun! But I cannot finish it yet, because I need a Mill Hill Treasure for it. I went to the LNS today, and I remember looking at the rack of MH Treasures when I first got there, but then I forgot to go back and choose one for the project -duh! Since I don't know when I will be near an LNS again, at least not in time to get this out, I did find what I needed on ebay from a very reliable ebay store that sells needlework supplies. I buy all my Anchor floss from her regularly and she ships fast. So, I got what I needed, plus a couple of skeins of Crescent Colours that I couldn't get while I was out today... so once the treasure comes in, I will be good to do the finishing :-)
I was RAK'd by my good friend, Karen! She is so sweet - what a nice treat! She sent me Just Nan's limited edition Horrified! with Whimzi Frame. Aw :-) I took the picture at this odd angle to show that the frame is attached to the chart.
I have this really, really pretty Silkweaver Solo for sale, if anybody would like it! It is a beautiful blue and purple blend. It is 28 ct Cashel linen and is 18" x 18", the cost is only $10 and shipping in the US is $1.00. If out of the US, still cheap shipping :-) I have a few more to put up, but it is late right now and I only have a photo of this one so far - I will get the others up tomorrow. Email me or leave me a comment here if you want to claim this one! ---sold

You're nearly there on this part! Sounds like you need a few hugs and some of those treats for yourself - never mind the trick and treaters :)
Lovely Carol! You amaze me!
:o)
WTG Carol you're almost there
Mystery is looking great Carol! Keep up the good work on it. I know it's getting to you. *hugs*
Mmmm your fabric you have up for sale is so pretty. I wish I had a pattern that would go on it so I could snag it from you but, I don't.
Have fun with the trick or treaters. We don't get any at the condo but, I'm looking forward to next year when we will at the house.
OOh I love that fabbie - if no ones taken it yet I have something that would look great on it, so I would love to buy it
Nearly there, Carol! I would love to just sit and stitch all weekend. No trick or treaters here!
You have rain & we have wind. Both are good excuses to stay in.
Mystery IX is looking great - very interesting with all the detail.
Sweet of Karen!
Enjoy your week-end
It looks like someone else already wants the fabric, but if it doesn't work out i'm definitely interested :)
I can't believe how fast you can work on the Mystery - if it's not finished this weekend you will definitely finish by the end of the month (because that's so far off *wink*) :)
I hope you've enjoyed the rainy stitchy day. I did lots of studying.
