First off, the SBQ. Today's "Stitching Blogger's Question" was suggested by Carol( http://carolsxsblog.blogspot.com/) and is: What is the most challenging specialty stitch you have ever stitched?
I don't think I've ever really done major specialty stitches. I still have trouble with the french knot, and am totally planning on getting someone to show me how to do it right this weekend.

CATS started today, and while I could totally be there right now, I've decided to wait until tomorrow. Don't think it's not tempting to go. Unfortunately, I had other things to do. I dropped Joshua off at school, then drove to the doctor to get my stitches removed, spent a bit of time at home painting my nails (which I've already messed up, by the way), then back to pick up Joshua. I have to pack this afternoon because I have choir practice at 6:30. I'm busy, but excited. I have a list of things I'd like to buy. Oh, and with the thing about Hershey Park, I didn't mean we all had to go as a group, I just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who might be interested. My sister commented that she is willing to go, which is great since all of the roller coasters will be running, and I haven't had a chance to ride Storm Runner yet.

Has anyone ever used Olde Willow Stitchery threads before? Ever heard of them? There was a chart for a Halloween door hanger in The Cross Stitcher (US) this month that I would like to do that calls for those threads. I'm not sure if they're something I could find at the stitching festival this weekend, or if they're something I can only get from a certain supplier. I wrote the colors I would need down jsut in case. It's a smallish project, and one that would be fun to work on in October. I'd probably be able to finish it by Halloween, too.

I hope everyone else is as nutty as I'm feeling right now. I'll see some of you tomorrow, to everyone else, have a good weekend! I'll be back with lots of pictures. And Mia, we will be thinking of you and looking forward to next year when you'll be there, too.
