Blogiversary Prize arrives and some Halloween stitching

I see from Carol's blog that the Blogiversary prize has arrived - and again in record time!!! I just sent that sucker out on last Thursday!!!! Yippee for the mail service!!!
Here is a snap of the package I got together for her -


I have been in an orchid kind of mood and here is a second go at some Soie d'Alger pale orchid stitching. Both Carol and I like the Quaker things so it was easy to decide on what to stitch. I included some b&w trimmings and some finishing fabric. There was also a SF mug and some Joseph Schmidt chocolates in another of his special summer boxes. I really enjoyed getting this together and know this will be a an annual event!!

I got my Halloween RR out last night and worked some more on the skeletal witch -

She is really starting to look like something - since this will need to get mailed on the 15th I am going to get as much done as I can before sending it out.

Last night the movies were part of TCM's salute to the fabulous Rosalind Russell. She is the star of the month. Last night started off with a bang - "The Women" - 1939 in which she plays the gossipy Sylvia Fowler. This was followed up with "My Sister Eileen" - 1942. Both excellent movies and worth seeing!!

Thanks for stopping by and all the nice things everyone writes, I do appreciate them!!!!!

Take care,
edgar
