I had to take my daughter to a doctor's appointment in Green Bay yesterday. We can't let a 100 mile trip go without a stop at the Stitching Bee on Velp Avenue. When we moved to the UP, I was stressed about not having a LNS. We had moved from Cedarburg where there were three at the time within 6 miles. I had done some research and found the Stitching Bee. I guess you could say that it has become my LNS although it is not exactly local. If you are in the area it is a MUST. It is the friendliest shop I have ever been in. Kendra is the best! You are welcomed as a long lost friend. Once the weather gets better I may go for the thursday afternoon group. I am also hoping someday to go on the fall retreat.
I didn't take pictures of the store. Another blogger posted a great montage on her blog so hopefully she won't mind that I kind of hijacked the pics....not really, here is her blog site. It is a really nice blog and I have become a follower.

I picked up a few things: Yet another Prairie Schooler....but I LOVE PS. I hope I don't have this one. I did April or May last year with the sheep on it and now I just need to frame it.
Another Homespun Elegance. I already have the Wisper thread for the beard.
A piece of 40 count linen that has gone up ridicously in price.....$200 per yard. What is up with that???
And some threads that I anticipate will need for some upcoming projects.
And last but not least, I finished the hand work on the Homespun Elegance Santa. I am going to finish it like the picture on the pattern without the chenille around the edge for the time being. Maybe I will get some but that can be done later.
So I am currently without a project more because I can't decide what to do next. I have a pair of socks I am working on with the most amazing alpaca wool combination yarn. The color is absolutely gorgeous!
Keep on Stitching! It is snowing and blowing likes nuts.
