Valentine's Day

I was too tired and annoyed at the end of the day yesterday to do my blog post.  BF said but you have to.  You've gone all this time doing a post every day.  He is right.  The only day I missed this year was the one day we did not have electricity.  Oh, well.  Two days missed so far this year.

Day 14, and the last day of the 14 days of Valentine's with Parsley, brought me a pack of ladybug buttons and a ladybug magnet.  I LOVE ladybugs just like I love bunnies.  Thanks, P!  And thanks so much for doing this swap with me.  It was lots of fun.

Valentine's Day gifts from BF brought me a bear dressed as a ladybug, Rainblo gumballs (he knows I love gum but don't usually buy it for myself) and a Pandora charm for my bracelet.  It may be hard to tell, but the charm is silver and has little hearts all over it, and the hearts are a sparkly purple.  LOVE IT!!!

And here is a shot of just the charm.  I tried to get as close as I could to it with my camera.

 
My birthday is coming up in May and I am taking all of my birthday money to buy Pandora charms, especially some glass beads.  But considering that all of the prices have increased, I will be able to buy less than I thought!  And I am going to ask BF to get me the cupcake or the celebration cake charm as his present to me to represent my birthday.  He made a point of telling me yesterday that all of the charms I have so far have a meaning.  Okaayyyy.  It is cute, though.  So, I have to continue that, right??

I really love the boxes the charms come in.  I am saving them, but I don't know what I am going to use them for.  Mill Hill beads perhaps??

I did work on Time For God yesterday and this morning, but have not gotten done as much as I would have liked.  For a smallish pattern this seems to be slow going.

I ordered some Q-snap covers (11 by 11 and 11 by 17) from Yarn Tree last week and they shipped yesterday!  Yay!  I hope to have them soon.

The Daughter is really sick with a stomach bug, so I am sending her well wishes and prayers for fast healing!

I hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

In peace, love and stitches,
Danielle

I got the bunny!!!

Today was a busy shopping day. All pictures below are clickable for a much bigger and better view.

After getting my hair done I visited The Stitching Post, where I picked up Lizzie Kate's Live Simply Quick It and the ABC's of Aging Artfully kit, plus a piece of 28 count Dirty Cashel for LK's Snowman Snippet, my next project, and the fabric and threads for Live Simply.



On the way home I decided to stop at McDonald's and get a Hot Mocha. That location makes THE BEST ones. And guess what??? I got the bunny Happy Meal toy!!!! I was so surprised. Isn't it cute? He is pictured with some new lip glosses I bought today also. They both smell and taste like watermelon. Yum!!

At Marshalls I also picked up this cool mug. I LOVE coffee mugs and hadn't had a new one in a while.

I also found this great jewelry organizer at Marshalls. I have had this on my gift wish list for a while and just happened upon it. I love when stuff like that happens. And it's purple.

We also visited Annapolis Mall, mainly to go the Pandora jewelry store and Claire's so The Daughter could spend a gift certificate she received at Christmas, and I wanted to get some new earrings. The Pandora charms are so beautiful in person. I can't wait to get some more to fill my bracelet. The salesperson at Pandora was very helpful and gave me these catalogs to take home that list all of their charms. It's a great reference!

While in Claire's I picked up these great earrings and this headband with a peacock feather. The Daughter bought the two animal keychains. Isn't the one with the rainbow puffy hairdo great! I loved it.

And here is my progress on Where's The Party? A little bit more stitched.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired.

Here is hoping you had a smashing Saturday!!!

In peace, love, and stitches,
Danielle
