Happy Halloween!

I know it's July but really Halloween is right around the corner and what a better way to celebrate my favorite holiday but with some Halloween Stash!!! I ordered this from The Silver Needle a while ago and it was out of stock for a while *but* today the UPS lady delivered it to me! I want to start stitching my tree (hmm drawing a blank!) the round thing that goes under the tree what's it called...jeez don't you hate when that happens LOL. Anyway I want to start stitching that :-)
I also got some pretty pretty scissors for my scissor collection. Now that I know that I'm not the only one that collects scissors I can openly talk about it. I bought these:

These are Bohin scissors from France and are called Giakarta I think.

They are so pretty :)

These are the Ice Cream Swirl scissors. I don't know if all of them come in this swirly pattern, they didn't seem so on the website but I love purple and just had to have them.
And for a stitching update here's my new WIP:

It's Herb Garden by Little House Needlework.

I started it Friday night on the train. The majority got done last night though. I literally only had time to stitch "With Friends" during my 3 nights of working. I'm taking a break from Awake the Dawning Day to stitch up some gifts. Herb Garden was suppose to be a gift but I changed my mind and will only stitch a portion of it for the recipient and ummm (jeez I'm drawing up blanks left and right!) alter! Yes I will alter it some way to make a bourse out of it so I can put my other stitchy things in it.

I must go now, I work the holiday (tonight and the 4th) so I have to get ready now. I think I'm drawing up so many blanks because I'm doing 5 nights in the span of 6, these are my last 2. Ask anyone working 12hr nights and they'll tell you it's hard! TTFN TREE SKIRT!
