Stuff - But No Contest Winners Yet

Fear not ... I have chosen a winner in the primitives/decor shop category but am needing to "work" on the craft supplies name a bit.  I have a couple avenues I can follow but the winners will be announced either this afternoon or this evening.  Thank you for bearing with me   : )

I am about ready to head off to the eye doctor.  Yes, another doctor appointment, one which was not in this week's plans until a few moments ago.  On Saturday I was my usual uncoordinated self & while using my round bristle hairbrush to blow dry my bangs ... same as I've done for years & years & years ... I somehow brought the brush up to do another pass through the bangs but ended up whacking myself ... hard ... in my wide-open right eye instead.  Ouch!  My eye watered & hurt for quite a while.  It was of course the weekend.  Not much I could do about it.  Noticed later a strange "bump" to the right of my iris.  It started out small, got bigger, & now has shrunk back down a bit but it looks kind of like a yellow blister & is definitely noticeable.  Since it's still there & bothersome to boot I decided to call the eye doctor's office & was told I had better come in this morning.  Maybe I'll get to play the part of a female pirate for a while.  John might like that   : )

Before I go, I wanted to share with you a new punchneedle goodie which I purchased from Ronda at Simple Thyme Prims.

Sorry about the shadows.  I couldn't get the straight on photo to not have them. Anyway, isn't it wonderful!  I so love punchneedle things & I love Ronda's work.  She had posted a photo of one of these on her blog a week ago, advertising that she had placed it in her Etsy shop, but I saw the post too late & missed out on it.  I sent her an email & said how disappointed I was to have missed it.  I was thrilled when she responded & said that she had actually made 2 of them   : )   I love punchneedle, I love birds, & I love ditty bags so WOO-HOO!  

Okay ... gotta go.  See you (I hope) later   : )
