Wow! Was I bad today
I went shoppin'...heeheehee...at the Local Needlework store.   And AC Moore.   Although I didn't buy a lot, I did liberate some items that the shop owner, Kim, had stashed away for me.  I bought a bunch of DMC, even though I have gobs of it in my stash. It's OLD.  Like 25 years old.  Wound on bobbins, with permanent kinks.  So, I bought some new to stitch Prairie Schooler's Prairie Birds (you didn't think I wouldn't now, did you?!!).   Plus, a cut of Natural Belfast 32ct linen for the Birds. And a cute Halloweenie chart from Twisted Threads called Boo.  The stuff that I liberated was a Pine Mountain pillow kit of a snowman (I'll ditch the Aida), a Quaker pattern, an acrylic ruler, and a Quaker pattern for the ruler.  At AC Moore, I went for framing supplies, they had NONE.  I was looking for one of those thingies that you push glazier points in the back of the frame.   I did buy a small box (sh-h-h, it's for the Sampler House exchange), some tacky glue, spray adhesive, double faced tape, a small piece of white mat board and a package of poster board.   I want to frame Drawn Thread's, A Woodland Walk, for my friend MaryEllen who has a small cottage in Arkansas.  She catered Mike's graduation party for practically nothing.  I stitched this for her in 2003 but couldn't afford the framing.  I took a class a a few months ago, found a frame that I thought it would look nice in and decided today to stretch it.  I have to get some mat board and I will be all set.  Yeah!
