Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for the late reply to the giveaway. Things have been a little wild around here. We went to Ocean City last weekend for the Ocean City Running Festival to watch our guys run the 5K. It was pretty cold that morning, but the rest of the time there the weather was much warmer.
That was the 4th 5K for DS this year so he received a special medal for that!
While we were away, this sassy little miss picked the winners of the giveaway. So...without further ado...here are the winners and what they have won!
Just Nan Tie One On AND Heart of Spring goes to Katie
Stoney Creek Noel Banner goes to Catherine
Needle Love Co Stocking Stuffers goes to Shelly
Blackbird Designs Sewing Club AND Margaret and Margaret Doxology Sampler go to Robin
Sampler Company Motifs Source Book go to Mouse
Would the winners please email me their addresses to tickledpinkone@gmail.com and as soon as I can (we are about to get really crazy here in the next few days) I will get them in the mail to you.
Ok, now that the business is out of the way...I'll let you know what I've been working on! While I was away, I was able to finish up Moana by Neni Designs.
I love how this came out. I also found a little frame, so hopefully the next time you see this it will be fully finished and displayed in Little Miss Sassy Pants new room.
Why does she have a new room? Because we are awaiting the arrival of a new family member. None of us know if it's a boy or girl but we are anxiously awaiting their appearance. Unless they decide they are ready sooner, they should arrive by November 14th. Can you sense the excitement? So this little trip was the last trip for the 5 of us together. Next trip will be super busy with a little bundle of joy along for the ride.
We stayed a few extra days because we just love Ocean City in the off season. The businesses are less busy, and have time to be more friendly. We moved to a different hotel after the kids left, and were surprised to find ourselves on the 12th floor (the top floor). We had a beautiful sunrise one morning...
Then a foggy sunrise the next morning...
And the view from the 12th floor lobby was of the bayside on the opposite side of the building.
We had breakfast a few times at Layton's...their doughnuts are to die for! The last day there, we were waited on by two guys who were so funny, they left us in stitches!
We enjoyed Dumser's Ice Cream (made in house and super creamy),
and a grand burger from this place. If you've been to OC, you'll recognize this fella.
We spent a little time on the boardwalk,
and played some mini golf.
And of course we found a new to us Ice Cream spot to and from OC.
Our new favorite halfway stop is now Vanderwendes Farm Creamery with the ABSOLUTE best Ice Cream I've ever had (especially since they had Maple Walnut!!) Little Miss loved seeing the cows!
And of course, no stop to OC would be complete without a little stash enhancement at the Salty Yarns. My goodness, they are chock full of goodies! I got a little trim....
a little fabric...
and a whole lot of patterns.
And while I'm working on Merry Christmas letter R right now,
I think I'll have to stop and work on one of the goodies I picked up...as well as a Birthday gift and a Christmas gift for my pal in Great Britain. So much to do....so little time! And that is all the news I have for this post. I hope you all are doing well and enjoying some stitching now that the days are cooler but shorter. I'm certainly having troubles adjusting to the time shift...I love the fall, but the early nights throw me off. Anway...Happy Stitching!
