excitement

Remeber, I mentioned that I was not so patiently awaiting arrival of a NEW BOOK???

Well, yesterday in the a.m.

I had a confirmation email that my order was being processed....

Yay, Yipee, Yahoo, etc.

Confirmation that I would soon have my goodies!!

Then, look what Sweetie brought in from the post box last night:

It's a really big white envelope with my name on it...

It came on the day that the company said it was processed!!!!!!!!!

You can't beat that for service, can you?!

That was a 500 mile trip and across three states --

and all done in the same day?

Sooooo

I tore into the packaging.....

and out spilled the greatest loveliness

in books and wool and floss.....

It's "Summer Gatherings"
by Lisa Bongean and Carole Charles

And, yes, I got a kit!!! ....

I don't usually purchase kits, but I just loved the color choices in wool for the geraniums.....

see, the colors are so luscious they almost make you drool.  

This is the "potted geranium pillow"

that will be my next project...

Because I promised myself that I

Would Not Start Another Project

until I completely

(notice that is completely)

finished.

Not mostly, or almost, 

but totally,

wholly,

entirely,

absolutely,

from top to bottom,

down to the last stitch in the label

FINISHED

my Small Catch hand/wool project.

Will you hold me to it???

Got to go, I have more drooling perusing to do over this new book.
Oh, yeah, here's the latest on my small catch:

One more dog-tooth border to finish, a little embroidery and a couple of applique stars. 

Then let the madness start---another project...drooling included.
