A Pink Parcel Day

I love those pink parcels from Jayne, don't you? This one contained a rainbow of Carrie's Creation threads and a wonderfully sparkly piece of Polstitches Opalescent Silver Lining. I know exactly what I'll be using the Pols for but you'll have to wait and see. :0) I thought I'd also show you the floss toss for my Long Dog Sampler piece Rosemarkie. This is another Polstitches fabric, Sky High, with more CC's: Blueberry Pie and Twinkle. I knew I wanted to use this fabric for the piece but wasn't sure on thread colours - luckily Jayne came to the rescue and I just love the combination.
Hope the pics have come out OK - I can't tell at the moment as the graphics card on my PC is slowly dying and any pics seem to give it a severe bilious do (and me.... what it's doing to some of the colours is really vile).
I'm gutted the old girl is starting to give up the ghost as she's served me well over the years, especially as I know exactly what I'm doing with the systems that run on her, but I guess all good things must come to an end at some stage. :0( DH has been going to get around to sorting out an upgraded system for me for about two years now so it looks like it's definitely going to happen like now. Windows XP here I come....

DS went out tonight looking a little pale and edgy....... absolutely nothing to do with booze this time, thankfully. ;0) He's involved in a local amateur dramatic group called the Little Theatre Club and has got a couple of small roles in their latest production: Sweeney Todd The Barber. It's the first performance tonight and he was a bit nervy, so I hope all is going well. We've got tickets and are going to see it on Friday night.

Tonight is UFO night and because of cooking tea, sorting yet another load of washing (goodness knows what the next electric bill will be like!) and now blogging I haven't, as yet, put a single stitch in Egyptian Tablet. Guess I'd better get going before Julie and Mr Stick show up......
