Another Good Mail Day

 I have absolutely got to stop cruising the innerwebs late at night.

It was another good mail day:

On the left, the kit for a class I'm taking through the Royal School of Needlework at the end of the summer. Yes, I have already opened the box. Yes, I have already reviewed the directions. Yes, I think I could stitch it without the class, but Kate Barlow always has a tip or technique that elevates your skill level, so I will wait.

I am a little concerned, though, since I have another class set to start next week, also from the RSN--and that kit hasn't been mailed yet, nor do I have a materials list. I am wondering if the wrong kit was sent before its scheduled time and the other hasn't been shipped--so I wrote to ask.

And then the Strawberry Sampler from Liz Matthews. I was absolutely NOT going to buy any more schoolgirl sampler charts (other than Country Sampler's Threads in History kits) this year. I was not. I solemnly swore to myself I have enough to keep me busy.

But this one has all the things that I like, like motifs rather than alphabets. And no big honkin' house.

I succumbed.

And, I am not surprised I succumbed.

Neither is anyone else.
