Nashua #1

Okay, I am home!  All is well.  DH didn't do great after the second round of chemo but he is okay and things are fine.  My room mate (Linda) came down with a nasty cold.  Cross your fingers that I don't get it.  I walked in the house, dumped everything and ran for the shower.  After a shower and change of clothes, I could give hugs.  It was a wonderful time and it did remind of festivals of olde.  I will try, over the next few days to give you some insight into my new stash and projects.  First we have a wooden spool that will get a pin cushion and will hold pearl cotton balls.  Along with the little basket I won last night.  There is the hardware for the Isle of Hope bell pull, a free Prairie Schooler Easter bunny, many flosses, a free kit from last night dinner all in brown and blue.  Under all of that is the Vera Bradly pouch I received last night.  Oh, some Dovo scissors and a bit of fabric from last night. I also see magnets and a key chain with a heart floss holder.  All that in photo number one.

The 'wood lady' and I have met and done well together.  I can't wait to show these to my son and my brother.  Of course I found as much purple as I could.  You have a seam ripper and awl, a necklace (magnetic) scissor holder and a seam presser.  There are all in beautiful woods and so smooth.  Yummy.

I have more photos but I will post them over the next few days.  I hope to get back to my every day posting.  My stitching mojo has been renewed.  It was wonderful to meet some designers, see all the stitcher, oh and the models!! - it was a festival.  I needed say more.
