If you see a mushroom in your lawn, don’t be smushing it, there could be a fairy taking shelter there!

I’ve actually got some gobbeldygook to blog about today. Tonight I’m treating my sister-in-law (*waves to Kim*) to a concert of one of her favorite groups, Celtic Woman. While perusing her iPod one day, I noticed she had a whole lot of their music. So, when I got the calendar for the summer concerts at Wolftrap, which is about ten miles or so away from me, I confirmed with her that she really did like Celtic Woman, and then ordered a pair of tickets and sprang the surprise on her. That was a few months ago. I have, since then, been threatening to eBay the things since this is one of their only performances in Virginia and the tickets are sold out. She’s been making these “Nonononononono!” sounds when I keep telling her about the really awesome shopping sprees we can go on after I sell the tickets, but she’s not getting into the idea. *looks innocent*

Next up… Mike and Kathie are back in the country and on their way home! Their baby Sheba has missed them lots! Although she’s been quite pampered and spoiled like the queen she is, she has been sitting on our front lawn and looking wistfully up the street for their car and then down the street and her house. Soon baby, Mommy and Daddy will be home very soon!

I have a stitchy picture… I’ve completed half a page (the top half) and therefore, one third of the topmost band of Spanish Rouge.
I’m stitching this with the called for Vikki Clayton silks and I positively love this chart! I did put it away so I can finish Jan’s RR.

And finally, I have an appropriate floss toss to share as it’s Fairy Day. Someone *coughKathiecough* decided that she wanted to stitch “The Night” and that I had to stitch a PR with her, so after weeks of agonizing (and pesting Fudgey) about fabrics, I’ve chosen Silkweaver’s “Wandering Ivy” and here’s my toss!
I’m quite psyched about starting this. BUT, just in case she’s got a Chatelaine start urge, I’ve also got my fabric for Mystery X. Nyah nyah! I lined up all my duckies while she was visiting all the Mediterranean wonders of the world.

On that note, I best go spiff up for the concert… my guess is that I’ll be upstairs, dressed, and have dinner made before my sweet SIL is out of the shower. You can’t hit me, Kim, I still have time to sell your ticket…
