Herrschner's had a 'email only' free shipping offer (only good until tomorrow at midnight so sign up for their sales flyers quick)....and since it is tax free....you only pay for the merchandise! Got to love that.
So I took the budget I usually spend on yarn (since I'm being force fed a yarn-diet) and got some embroidery stuff.
I got:
two lap quilts (one a blue-work sampler, very Amish feeling; one is the double-wedding ring pattern in cross-stitch)
one table topper from the Bucilla's special ed. collection (Garden Trellis pattern, even though I couldn't get a good look at the pattern it seemed nice)
one set of quilt blocks from the Bucilla's sp.ed collection (Garden trellis to match topper. one pack is enough for a lap quilt if you sew them on edge to each other....but I like to trellis so two sets will make a twin)
Scrapbooking stickers (Posh Pet....got to fill the dog's book; Sweet 16....yep oldest daughter turns that age this year--can't believe she made it!)
Tape Writer kit and refill tapes in different colors (this is one of those squeeze guns that embosses the letter/number onto the tape then you peel off the back--like your folks used when you were a kid....only this also has a second dial and does small pictures as well)
That's it....see its not too much. And it should keep me busy during summer vacation--unless I can talk hubby into letting me train the Newfie for pulling a cart.
But that's a different posting
