Squash & Hop

O-M-G! Have you seen the latest patterns by Blackbird Designs and Country Cottage Needleworks???? I'm in HEA-VEN! Be prepared to drool...

First off is Pumpkin Farm by Blackbird Designs -

Photobucket

How gorgeous is this???? Love the colors! Does this have Pumpkin written all over it or what? ;o) LOL!

Next up is Bunny Hop by CCN -

Photobucket

Cute, cute, CUTE! Gotta have, gotta have, GOTTA HAVE! Mine, mine, MINE!

Sigh, my stitching goals may be blown out of the water already ;o)

On a sad note, DH and I are leaving for NB tomorrow as a very dear friend of the family passed away :o( This gentleman was so kind and talented. He will surely be missed by all who knew him.

Because of this, I will be away from Blog reading. Have I mentioned how behind I am???? Eep! I will be bringing my computer with me but I'm not sure how much time I'll have. I may just be checking emails. Anyway, I apologize now for not getting around to everyone but I will eventually, I promise :o)
