Year of Starts 268-273

Hi everyone!  Lets see what I started the last week of September...I went to Disney on Ice on September 30th at the Tulsa State Fair.  My mom and I had a wonderful time!!  The Tulsa Fair has a Sugar Showdown of Cakes and Cookies.  We could not believe the cakes we saw!!  Kerry Vincent from the Food Network Channel hosts this event and even judges it!!! 

We let home early enough so we could stop at the Silver Needle....Dear Lord my CC was smoking when I left.  I managed to pick up several new Mill Hill kits while I was there.  They have an entire wall of Mill Hill kits that are finished as pillows!  OMG!! I was in Heaven!

I was still sick so we went into the Disney on Ice show an hour before it was supposed to start.  I won't lie, I fell asleep in my chair and took an a nap while waiting.  You want to know the strange thing...No one bothered me or even woke me up.  My mom finally woke me when the show started.  That nap felt wonderful....

You  are here to see what I started...So here are starts 268-273

Start 268: Wonka Land by Petal Pushers  I stitched the goose that lays the golden egg.   I dyed my own fabric ...it is a greenish color


Start 269:  Tiny Tigers stitched on 28 count Guacamole Green


Start 270:  Mirabilia Shakespeare's Fairy - Stitched on 28  PTP this plus...Not sure of the fabric name....

Start 273: Tropical Kitty by Mill Hill

 Ok..That is it for September!!!

There is a valid reason on why I didn't post this on the require day for me....I woke up this Sunday morning feeling very grumpy and I wasn't sure why.  Well, by 6 pm, I had the cold from the very pits of Hades come up and attack me!  OMG!
