Market Stuff

A modest haul from Market this year. Of course Fox Few had to come to my house, and I also picked up the new Brenda Gervais design, which I understand is the first in a series. I love her series. I also wanted a couple of the new Blackberry Lane designs, but I've had to order those.

One of the new PTP colors, Heartland. This is a pretty, golden neutral. It reminds me of the ubiquitous Vintage Country Mocha, but without the regular pattern.

These are my favorite Market goodies this year. I pre-ordered both, the Market cookbook in January and the Rosewood Manor one in early February. They are both very well done. The Market cookbook is in color, and has some small charts in it as well as some family photographs shared by the designers who contributed recipes. The Rosewood Manor cookbook has tons (60+) of small charts, mostly mini samplers. The charts are black/white, but there is a section at the beginning of the book showing the samplers in color. You can tell a lot of work went in to compiling these cookbooks.

So that's my Market stuff. This week I've started taking down curtains and pictures and rolling rugs, etc. I should be pretty well finished with all of that by the end of the week, and next week...

...we're unsupervised! Yes. Mr. Wonderful will be away for training, so Tiger Lily and I will be on our own. I don't know what we'll get up to, but if everything is still running along smoothly and on schedule, I hope I'll have some extra stitching time. I'm current on the Christmas Ornament SAL, and right now I'm working on a CEC mitten freebie.

Have a great week, y'all!
