Had a very exciting day yesterday.  One of the girls from work, her grandmother and I went to the yearly craft show.  I am still drooling.  OMG it was amazing.  I was very restrained though and only purchased a new cross stitch frame and of course a cross stitch to work on with it.  It's a newer system call Q snap and it's designed to put less ( Read more... )
