R.e. a couple of responses to my Blogger issues: I do remain logged into Gmail and Google+, but it doesn't seem to...I don't know, be recognized? by Blogger. I've even tried manually logging in via the Blogger reply function, but that doesn't work either. It's really weird. I might look into using OpenID - see if I can reply that way without ending up as a no-reply commenter.
Why so difficult, technology? :(
And, I wanted to share something that I'm super giddy about, because stitchers are pretty much the only people I 'know' who won't look at me funny.
I had a stressful week (not the thing I'm giddy about) and I did some therapy shopping (ok, not giddy about that either), and I bought some stitching stuff.
I found the Lizzie Kate "Hats Off to Halloween" (first version) on a stash sale Facebook page for $5, and I snapped it up. Yay! It's this one:
Isn't it cute?? I've been wanting it forever.
EVEN BETTER THOUGH: I discovered TheThreadGatherer on Etsy - the maker of Silk 'n Colors. I ordered these:
Smoke Stack and Fairy Moss. AREN'T THEY PRETTY? Seriously, I have never been so excited about thread in my entire life.
They're both destined for Ink Circles patterns. Smoke Stack will be used for A Spirited Mandala:
I was gifted the pattern in the Under the Sea Fabrics Summer Mystery Box exchange. I'll either stitch it on the fabric shown (it's PTP Voodoo, which I have in opalescant, but I have to check if the piece is big enough) or on UtS Dreamsicle, which is a bright yellow-and-orange.
Fairy Moss will be used for Four de Lys:
Not sure what fabric I'll use yet.
Of course, I have several WIPs I have to finish before I can start these. Never mind other projects I also have been wanting to start. I'm suffering a bit from start-itis and stashaholism I think.
AND...there is a huge arts and crafts fair this weekend, and I'm going to be scouring the potters' and ceramicists' booths. Every year I go to the fair and look at the yarn bowls and think "I need to learn to knit or crochet so I can justify buying one of those." Well, I learned to knit this Spring, so guess what I'm going to buy this weekend? Yasssss!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend coming up, and now I need to go try to 1) off-set my coffee buzz with some food and 2) work. *waves*
