Super Duper Mail Day

It was a joy to go to the mailbox today.

The Queen's Needlework Tool Kit--the most recent entry in Amy Mitten's Queen's Attire series--landed in my mailbox this morning.

The kit is packed with simply delicious goodies--velvet and brocade and metal threads and little bits and pieces of lovely stuff. I feel simply regal looking through the contents of the package.

And the current issue of Inspirations arrived.

I would really, really love to stitch my way from cover to cover in this issue.

Actually, I would really, really love to stitch, but my wrist is still acting up. I am on anti-inflammatories and hopefully that will help because I am starting to climb the walls. And Dearly Beloved has started tiptoeing around me. 

I must be patient, I must be patient, I MUST BE PATIENT!!!

It's not a pretty picture around here.
