I forgot my lovely PURL/Pearl: The Knitting Fairy cross stitch pattern! I bought her at the show! Mom bought Thimbelina: The Needlework Fairy and I actually want her too. Maybe I'll order myself one. They are so darned cute!

Other Lynne Nicoletti patterns that I have:

Canada Geese & Hockey Player.

Pattens by Lynne Nicoletti that I want to have:

The Play's the Thing (Shakespeare), CN Tower & Flat Iron Building & Thimbelina: The Needlework Fairy.

Well, I started out at the Creative Memories booth. There I bought:

* Multi-purpose tool & clips

* Journaltopia Writing Guide

* Vintage Round-Tip Pens (perfect for heritage albums)

* Heirloom stickers, Hockey stickers, 70's Decade Stickers and 80's Decade Stickers (and my mom still has my hair crimper from the 80's!)

Creative Memories has so many new tools out! While my impulse was to buy absolutely everything, (sigh) I held back.

2 cross stitch kits

2 knitting books, 1 crochet book

some funky wooden beads

an amber ring for my lovely self

and a bag full of loot from Len's Mills. That is the best booth because things are so dirt cheap! Scrapbook stickers, paper dolls, Christmas presents and a Winnie the Pooh pillow.

We got lots of free stuff at the show too in all of our classes and at the Cropping Party. Mom won the Fiskars Scrapboss Starter Set. I would totally trade mine for that! It was so cute that she won because she wanted it so bad! Amber and I didn't win anything, but it was still fun.

There is a brandy-new Canadian needlework magazine out called Needle Pulling Thread. All needlework is represented. And it's all Canadian! Finally! How fun is that? They gave away free copies of the first edition at the show.

Well, time for bed. Maybe I'll post some pics tomorrow.
