I was disappointed not to have hit the sale at In Stitches in Alexandria yesterday morning; I had to go to the College Park campus extra early to get a parking spot near my class (and paid the $15 to do so) because Maryland was playing E. Michigan at home. The tailgaters ringed the big parking garage and were grilling the yummiest-smelling food. Since I got there a couple of hours early, I had the opportunity to wander the campus, eat at the campus McDonalds and then settle into a big comfy chair at the student center and stitch a while on this before my accounting class. I did make it finally to the needlework shop on the way home after class, but with only 1/2 hour to spare before they closed, I really didn't have time to kit up one of the new charts that have arrived from Attic Needlework or from England (and y'all completely decimated those charts--pretty slim pickings when I got there at 4:30--like a bunch of turkey buzzards over fresh road kill). I did pick up a few extra skeins of AVAS for this project--it EATS floss. I'd hate to run out, so I bought a few skeins of colors I'm using a lot of on this.
Pink, enjoying the New Yorker:
And Elvis' kissable lips. He sends you a big "mwah" for the week.
I finished my homework early today, so I'm off to cook something and read the NY Times with what's left of the day. As always, I'm hoping my dreamboat has a column today. In case you haven't read him, check out this column on
love and economics:

And your stitching ain't half bad either ;o)
Ahhh, the New Yorker. Freckles favors Consumer Reports -- yummier glue and paper!
No bunnies are getting MY New Yorker .. someday I am going to have the winning cartoon caption!
There is a big Rabbit on the cover of the current issue!!!
Yay Elvis and Pink!!! You are photogenic bunnies ...
Dreamboat failed to mention rabbits in the pets as insurance against way ward love......Elvis has a cute little mouth, for sure. Is Pink's ink stained from the New Yorker? Both the Spots like the New Yorker too.
Aw, Pink is a literary bun! Does he like Granta, too?
I had a dream about cross-stitch last nite.. a first, lol! Must be your blog :p
MWAHs to Elvis & Pink! Love 'em bunny lips!!
Oooo, bunny kisses. I'm over the moon!
Dang, I didn't know about that sale! I can't fight over stuff though, lol. I'd rather pay full price! I could smooch those sweet bunny lips though!
I was one of the vultures at In Stitches Saturday! I got the last copy of Blue Ribbon Designs Creepy Crawly. Sorry! I don't know if you can go on weekdays, but they are having the sale all week.
Mmmmm . . .Ben Stein. I'm definitely with you on that one. Love the tie-in with the post title. :~)
You are making wonderful progress on that beautiful sampler.
LOVIN' this WIP, Glenna!
