My Celebrations report

First, the new ladybug count is 5 - one scissors' fob to stitch (should have bought the beaded one too), 2 beaded Mill Hill kits, one chart and magnets (thank you Margaret) and beads ( thank you Donna).

I got two more Simply Old Fashioned charts, some floss and a new pair of scissors. (guess where the fob is going). Oh, and will kick myself until next year that I didn't get the Moss Fairy and kit her up. Oh, and I won a door prize - a Sue Hillis chart that tell you to put on your big girl panties and deal with it...

And I got (we actually) got to meet Donna from Reston and go shopping with her.

But the best part was just time spent with good friends. Or was is scaring off the preteens in the whirlpool with Bobbie and Margaret.

And, Bobbie, I want temari lessons....

You should have stayed over Cheryl, there is no one in the pool at 7am, but me. I went for a swim while Bobbie headed for class. Now that is the perfect way to start your day. Next year I'll make sure you kit up the fairy.

PS. I'm looking forward to the tamari instructions, and I'm almost done with the fish from my knot class.

Sounds reasonable - without going overboard!

LOL - you guys are soooo scarey.

And there is going to be a Stitch-Away in Gettysburg again next April. The local association of shops sponsors it. I know that I'm going - likely with DH in tow - he has a good time at these things. You could come down for that.

Will do. MANRA, the association of the retailers from Frederick MD to about Fredericksburg VA, and west, sponsors this. We've had it 2x, they're doing it every other year, and I believe that the place in Gettysburg where it was last spring is already booked for 2008. So, I'll definitely get you the info and hook-up through the shop as the time approaches.

The last 2 times there were mini-classes. But, I believe that this time there's some effort going into getting some nationally known teachers to do a more stnadard type of class. But, it was just a lot of fun - lots of time to stitch, and a small boutique - all the participating shops brought in some stuff, etc.

Well, that would be convenient. I think everyone stayed at the hotel - don't think they had any "day" participants. But, it wasn't very expensive, and included meals, except for 1 dinner, IIRC.

Here's a big cheer to meeting friends IRL! I wish I had had more time to spend with all of you.

But I did get a stitching fix.

Bought two charts - one an old Ginger and Spice and the other a Norwegian bellpull. Plus a Norwegian ornament kit and 3 pieces of fabric from PictureThisPlus. I think they were the busiest booth in the mall. And thank you, Cheryl, for the scissor fob, and Bobbie for the nutcracker tin. It was so funny to walk through the door of the hotel and these 3 women were waiting for me, smiling and all excited. Quite the reception. It's was lovely sharing show and tell, projects and purchases, and stories with everyone.

As an added bonus, I ran into my friend, Martha, from my EGA chapter in NY. Such a sweetheart and she seems to attract fellow stitchers where ever she goes.

Next year I needed to attend Celebrations.That would be wonderful.

On the bad side, my MIL gave me her cold. I think I seriously need to look at why I'm getting sick so often. This is the 4th cold since October.
