Well, I had to make a quick trip to my surgeon's office yesterday morning. He had to give me the A-OK to go back to work at the end of this week (which he did). I kind of liked being a stay at home mom again though.He's not too happy with my calcium level though. Super low. :( He's not too happy about it, but I'm doing everything he told me to do. So he added another prescription to help my calcium tablets absorb. Since I had to make the trip to his office (which is an hour away), I thought I'd make a visit to the local Joann's Fabrics. I really love Joann's. Their fabric is so pretty. The one I went to is one of the smaller Joann's so they didn't have the selection that the one closer to my house had, but I was still able to find some new pretties to spend some money on. What was even better was that I had a coupon for everything that I bought. LOVE IT!!!

Some beautiful Christmas fabbies

Then I was looking a little bit more and found this beauty that I had to have. Better yet, it was 40% off.

| Gingher's Charlene scissors |
Today, DH and I had a date day. Ran around and did some shopping and then had lunch. We made a quick stop at Old Navy and found my middle DD new blue jeans. They were on clearance for $1.97 a pair. So we walked out with 5 pairs of jeans for her for $10.00. I was so excited!!!!!
Then we ran to Border's. I love Border's, but I don't go as much as I used to because I have an iPad, so I buy most of my books online. But I do love to look at their magazine section.
Why is it that it seems the best cross stitch/scrapbooking/cardmaking magazines are all published in the UK? Granted there are some nice ones here in the US, but the UK ones are awesome. My DH bought me a Christmas Card magazine today from the UK. I absolutely love it!!!! Can't wait to start making some cards from it.
Well, I guess I'll get off and stitch, I think I'm going to start a new project tonight. I have to get as much stitching in the next 2 days as I can since I go back to work Thursday night. I'll try to post a picture of my new start tomorrow.

Great fabrics! Don't you just love Joann's? If you see my post from yesterday on my blog, I went to Joann's and purchased my first pair of Gingher's, the black and white striped ones. I love them!!
Hi Melissa
Thank you so much for being my No. 3. Our Borders here in the U.K. went bust about a year ago and i really miss it because all of the US magazines are so much better than the U.K. ones! See we always want what we can't have. Anyway I love your blog and now is a very welcome addition to my bloglist. Could you please email me at patreeshal@gmail.com so I have your email address and can email you and thank you properly.
Love the fabrics. I would love to be able to quilt and thanks to Lana I now know I can and will be able to soon enough. I LOVE your blog by the way and thanks again for coming to mine and signing up to be my NUMBER 3 YAY!!!
Lots of Love

Hi Melissa! Just want to say thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment...I'm always happy to discover other stitching blogs to follow :)
I love your new fabrics and try to visit my Joann's at least once a week--it is such fun just wandering through the fabrics, isn't it? Your new scissors are beauties, too--enjoy!
Gorgeous fabric! I went to Jo-Ann's this past week but could only find the Ella scissors. Not that I'm complaining ;o)
Sounds like you had a wonderful day with DH.
Thank you for visiting my Blog :o)
