A Little More Prairie Sampler

Well, we made it to our hotel room. I told Bradley as part of his Christmas present that we could stay in a hotel on our way up. He loves hotels, so it's a very big treat for him. And an extra big treat because all the rooms have Tempur-Pedic beds. He was fascinated by the commercial with the girl jumping on the bed and not spilling her wine. :) I did get a little more stitching done on PS. The picture is a little funny, but you get the idea.



I was feeling a little down the other day (long story), so I decided I needed a little retail therapy (like a hole in the head). I treated my self to a new Vera Bradley bag.





It's called the Little Travel Case. A stitcher at the Susan Greening Davis class was telling everyone how perfect they are for holding projects and when I saw they were being discontinued I thought I'd better get one while they last! I loaded up my wips and stash and it is awesome. It holds so much! Well, I think I've rambled on enough for one night. I'm going to sink into my Tempur-Pedic bed and sleep - hopefully sleep late if the kids allow! Write later!

  1. You are a bad influence!!! I'm going to have to get myself one of the little travel cases - what a lovely idea for holding a project! I have one of the little jewelry cases to hold needles and scissors, but this one looks a little more substantial.

    I'm sorry you were feeling down, though. :( I hope everything is okay now!

  2. Those are wonderful. I've had mine for about a year and when I heard they were discontinuing it I bought another. I like the idea of seeing everything right there and not having to dig into a tote bag.

  13. Prairie Sampler is looking great, I love the little squirrel and birds. Also, your new bag is wonderful, it looks like a perfect project travel case, plenty of room so things don't get squished and a compartment to keep smaller items like scissors from flopping around. Hope your retail therapy plan helped and you're feeling better now.

  15. You ARE a bad influence!!! Like lemmings to the sea, so too the stitchers to a Vera Bradley bag! LOL I had some birthday money from my ILs burning a hole in my pocket, so I hopped on over to eBay and picked up one for myself - in my Nantucket Navy pattern, no less! I can't wait till it gets here.

  17. You've enabled me to get this little travel case! You enable me too much!
    That BRD you are working on for Christmas is already in my house all kitted up and ready to go - stop it!
    OK kidding, keep on the enabling!
    Happy New Year!
