The_Shepherd's_Needle Little Rock, Arkansas
Oh! Here they are
Anna and I I bought Jenny Bean Pin Tuffet and the pedestal for it
Next up Anna and I hit the The Stitcher's Garden in Conway Arkansas.
Anna and I got into a traffic jam from an accident of some sort, so missed had to miss one other needleshop. We had to make it back to Hot Springs in time to see the guys live weigh-in.Here is DH with FLW host Charlie Evans and Ranger Boats Forest Wood.
Dan come in #20 out of 55 boaters. I forget now what his total weigh was for the days. Did anyone see him live on FLWoutdoors.com? This one airs on November 28th. He won't be on that one because he didn't place 1st to be in the Forest Wood Cup Tournament.
This was really a neat experience to be up close to the stage, lights and camera's. Kellie and I had a great time in Hot Springs with Anna. Her better half was there too as a co-angler. Dan just happen to know him from Wisconsin fishing tourneys. So we got to hang out and explore, while the guys did their fishing thing.
We plan to keep in touch and get together to stitch or shop. She even showed me how to thread my needle by wrapping it around my finger, too cool!
That's it for this post.
I am so far behind, like 600 post. I try to catch up a little here and there by reading and commenting, so please bear with me.
Nite-nite!!!!

What a lovely piece you are stitching.
Beautifull daugther you have...great dress.
You bought some lovely things, great pictures..
That design is stunning I wouldn't be able to put it down either, looks like everyone had fun and great stash buy, your daughter looks beautiful in her lovely dress xx
Glad you have decided to carry on with Their Song. Great pics of your trip. x
Their Song is coming along nicely, you could always 'bleed' the rest of it for a distressed look when you finished and no-one would be the wiser. How cool that you met Anna and plan to keep in touch, you will have to get her to start a blog. There is some lovely new stash there, I wish that I had a shop like that near me, ohperhaps not such a good idea especially for the budget.
Sounds like a fun trip. Their song looks great just as it is, I can't actually pick out the "bleed" in that picture
Their Song looks beautiful, and good for you that the bleeding doesn't bother you! Way back when they wouldn't have started a sampler over if there was a flaw so it makes it authentic. I love your picture with the cherries.
Your daughter looks so pretty! Oh how I wish I could go to a needlework shop like that! We don't have one where I am unless you drive for two hours.
Your DD is just a beauty! Love all the stitchy stash you bought and congrats to your DH for a good finish! Sounds like you all had a great time.
Looks like you got some great goodies! Your daughter is lovely.
Your daughter is so pretty and looks so happy. Their song is coming right along and it looks like you had a great time at the tournament, er shopping. :o)
Good for you for continuing on with the BBD piece. There was bleeding on one of my pieces too, but I continued with it and finished it and it looks like it was meant to look that way! Love the pics of your daughter. And the LNS trip -- great stuff!
I love the BBD - it's in my pile of must stitch! Looks like you and your new friend had a wonderful day and successful shopping!
Love your BBD piece!!! Looks like a fun trip, great stash acquisitions :-).
Gorgeous daughter too!
Congrats to your daughter on her graduation. Oh boy --- high school coming up next!

Sounds like your DH had a great time and so did you. That shop looks awesome.
Their song looks fantastic! Your DD is a very beautiful young lady. It looks like she had a good time at the banquet.
Ohhh lucky you got go to two needlework shops and congrats on the new stash.

Their Song is looking great, Ranae! Sounds like a fun and busy time you've had. Your daughter is a cutie.
I wanna go shopping..whaaaaa
I'm glad that you didn't give up on the BBD piece. The color run will just add character. Your daughter is a beautiful girl. Love all the stash that you picked up - I'm working on JB's pincushion right now and it's a fun stitch!
Love your BBD piece Ranae its so pretty. That needlework shop looks amazing, we have nothing like that here.
Enjoy your wonderful new stash and your daughter is just beautiful.
What a wonderful day with friends! Love your sampler too. I really love the colors.
Thanks for the fun post.
The stitching looks great. You can even add some juice from those luscious looking cherries for authenticity.
You daughter is a doll. And that shop looks terrific.. I envy you.
Love the cherries photographed with your WIP, clever idea.
Sounds like a fun trip for all, great new stash too.
Your daughter is lovely!
Looks like you had a wonderful trip, Ranae--half-price Prairie Schoolers!!! Woo hoo!!
I love "Their Song" and I agree that the bleeding will just add to the wonderful rustic, well-loved look that you're going for...
Congratulations to your darling daughter on her 8th grade graduation!
Beautiful! "Their Song" looks just perfect to me--great job on the half-price PS! :)
How wonderful and what a beautiful shop!!!! I'm drooling over all that yummy stash you got ;o)
Congrats to DH!
it was so fun hearing about your trip - congrats to your husband - sounds like a nice recognition for him. Visiting away shops is always a big highlight when I travel. Glad you stuck with Their Song - it is lovely! what bleeding????? just keep going ! Mel
Your daughter is a cutie patootie! :) Congrats to your husband! I am so glad that you have a stitching buddy to hang with--it looks like you guys had a blast. I was just over at Michelle's (Cozy Egg) blog admiring her Jenny Bean tuffet--omg. I must get that for myself! Love the progress on Their Song.
I'm glad you decided to continue. I need to get back into cross stitching because I haven't done much lately. Where do you get your patterns? I think I would like to try the Prairie Schooler. Looks like you had a great trip. Thanks for sharing!
Your daughter is beautiful. Great progress on "Their Song", it's looks pretty. Looks like you have a great shopping and came home with beautiful stash. :)
