...because if I'm dreaming, I don't want to know ;o)
I blinked once, I blinked twice and then a third time but the same email stared right back at me. I've read it again and again but it still says the same thing...
I WAS THE WINNER OF THE DINKY DYES PRIZE FROM THE NEEDLEWORK SHOW!!!!
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I can't believe it! I just can't stop smiling either :o) I will receive THE FULL SET of their silks. How many is that? I think 180. Can you say heaven? Sweet!
It's funny because on Saturday, DH was watching television while I was working out my answer to the question that was asked for the contest. I kept asking DH questions about Australia until he finally looked at me strangely and asked me what the heck I was doing. When I told him and then interjected that it was approximately $700 worth of silks, realization hit but he still shook his head ;o) I NEVER thought I would win. EVER!
I'm hoping this is a good omen because (early) tomorrow morning I have to go for my yearly mammogram :o( I'm officially in my eleventh year now so hopefully it will all go down smoothly. I was at Frenchys (used clothing store) and bought this T-shirt -
Appropriate, yes? LOL! I know I've done this for ten years now but it still doesn't get any easier. Even though I'm trying not to think about it, it's still in the back of my mind and probably a good reason why I don't feel so great this week. Fingers and toes crossed :o)
I had another WONDERFUL surprise last night when I got an email from my dear friend Irene. She FINISHED stitching the Happy Pumpkin Day 2010 pattern! She's fast ;o) I hope she doesn't mind me 'borrowing' her picture -
Please visit her Blog though to see how she finished the back. I'm tickled pink because it came out better than I had hoped :o) Great job Irene!

Wow! You need to play a lottery or something. Bound to win!
Your pattern is adorable! Go you!
Now about the yearly squeeze -- 10 years down and another 50 to go. You've kicked cancer's butt and it's going to stay kicked! Heads up and go in there like it's the dentist.

Hi Cathey,
Congratulations on winning that
amazing prize from Dinky Dyes
of a full set of their silks!!
OMG!!! You have to take a
picture when they arrive so
that we can see all that
wonderful silky goodness in
one place. I'm so pleased
for you.
Your Pumpkin Day design looks
fabulous as stitched and
finished by Irene. What a
thrill it must be to see
something that you designed
brought to life (so to speak)
by another stitcher.
I'll be thinking of you
tomorrow and sending good
vibes your way while you go
through your mammogram. And
a little prayer or two as
well.
Hugs!!! Judy
I'm so happy for your lovely win -
I'm believing for a good report on your tatas - Hey you said it first - lol
My prayers are with you
Take Care :)
OMG....kudos on such a great win! I'd be so excited too. Will keep you in my prayers and hope all goes well.
Cathy!!! So glad for you!!! Fellow BlueNoser here. Hope your exam goes smoothly...been having probs in that department and dr is sending me to a specialist...hope it is nothing serious!
Anyway back to the point CONGRATULATIONS!!!! How lucky are you!!!!!
Suzanne
OMG, Cathey!! Seriously you won! I'm happy dancing for you :) That is heaven as far as I am concerned, please share a picture with us so we may all "drool" over it! I have my fingers and toes crossed for your Mammo tomorrow, I can imagine it wouldn't get any easier to deal with. Love the Pumpkin Day finish, the chart is super cute!
*fans self*
I'm feeling faint FOR you, just thinking about that prize. Man, oh man, that is just too awesome. I would be sitting by the mailbox every day until it comes. (And then I would spread them out on my bed and possibly roll around in them. MAYBE. I'm not saying I WOULD. I just think all of the lovely colors might make me a little 'Double Rainbow'ish. lol)
That's awesome! Good luck today:)
