Exchange Finishing Marathon, and a Small Drawing...

Last night I was in the throws of an exchange finishing frenzy, which will continue tonight after visiting Britex for some extra doo-dads..... so there are no snaps of any stitchy things....

This weekend while digging around looking for something else I ran across a make it yourself sampler kit I got last year. I never got around to doing anything with it so here it sits, brand new never played with -



I thought to myself that someone might want to make a their own sampler - instead of gathering dust at my house I am going to have a "BOD" drawing. So - if you would like to have this kit just leave a comment in today's comment section, you can leave a comment up until 3pm on Friday. I will have the mystic all seeing, all dancing chihuahuas do that voodoo they do so well and have a winner on next Monday - 9/22/08. Here is a snap of the inside


The kit includes: 2 full color instruction books, 3 traditional sampler charts, a piece of 14ct Aida cloth, an adjustable embroidery hoop, a thimble, 7 floss colours and a size 26 needle.

Last night was super movie night on TCM with a triple line up of chick flicks- starting off with the original "The Women" - 1939 starring MGM Divas - Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford, then it was "Stage Door"- 1937 with RKO Divas - Katherine Hepburn and Ginger Rodgers - the evening ended - or I should say my evening ended with "Little Women" - 1933 again with Katherine Hepburn. Three super-dee-duper flicks!! I was in hog heaven!!!

Just a reminder that the I am still taking sign ups for the SBBC 2009 - until next Friday 9/26/08. Just send an email to - edgar matt @ g mail . com (take out the spaces).

Thanks for stopping by!!

Take care,
edgar

  6. Winning anything is always good! I don't feel like my day is complete without checking in to see what you're working on. It is always an inspiration to me to keep stitching and trying new designers. We've been on an old Disney flick marathon with the latest being "The Happiest Millionaire" and "Lt. Robinson Crusoe, USN." Both enjoyable to watch.

  13. Hello, Edgar! I do love your blog and seeing all of your WIPs and finishes -- we seem to have a similar taste in old movies.
    I'd love this kit -- not for myself - but my daughter's 15 year old friend whom I taught to stitch two years ago.
    Have a lovely day!

  15. How Funny! I just saw the new version of "The Women" on Saturday. I dragged my friend. The new one was pretty good. Very similar to the original but more modern...not to mention any straight girl will be drooling over the clothes, shoes and the handbags! So watch for the new version on Netflix!
