My Voice Has Left Me

For some odd reason, my voice seems to have checked out and gone on vacation! I'm not sick....I feel fine...I just can't really speak. Not well anyway. Frustrating indeed for someone who's a chatter box. I woke up yesterday to discover my impairment which was somewhat of a problem considering that I was off to pick up two friends for a fun filled day in Alexandria. I talked anyway...at least I tried. I just sounded really silly. Joshua sure thinks it's hysterical. I had a really really great time with my friends and can't wait to venture off with them again.

I have died and gone to fabric Heaven, my friends. My first order of business today was to stop by Homespun Elegance to have a peak at their moving sale. I did indeed leave with a sack packed full and am now wishing I would've done much more damage than I did. Not for any good reason because I came home with A LOT of stuff. Everything I was interested in had such great prices on it that I would have loved to have snapped it all up. Mostly, the fabric. Cassie was even shocked at how much I had. Here it is.

Those cuts of fabric are folded several times. Those 3 cuts on the top right are huge. Maybe close to a full yard a piece. I don't know if you can tell in the pic but that's a stack there in the middle. I, my friends shouldn't need any stitching fabric for a long long time! I paid just over $20 for all of this fabric...I can't believe that. And I didn't even get it all...not even close....

Ok, now look at these frames! $.50 cents each! Can you believe that?! Most of these had something very minor wrong with them. They can easily be sanded down and repainted or stained. There were tons more when I left this morning.

I'm always the first one to go through the charts because I'm always in search of those that are out of print. I hit the jackpot today, I did! I was thrilled to add these Prairie Schooler charts to my collection! I picked up-

St. Nicholas book #20, Barn Cats book #6, Sunshine and Shadow book #11, The Three Bears book #12, The Bremen Town Musicians book #4, American Primitive book #8, and Home for Christmas from the Designers Series.

I also picked up these charts- The Lady and the Flower Samplar from Little By Little, The Pinkhouse Samplar from Little By Little, Seasonal Hearts from The Needle and I, My Name Complete from Sheepish Designs, and a Sampler of Stitches from The Needle's Prayse.

People, I got all of this stuff for very little $$. She's running the sale until the weekend so if you are able to swing by, I'd recommend you do. We can do lunch even :)
