In between the stitchery

I started the day very early this morning with several errands to run and a list of things I needed to buy but first I enjoyed my morning walk and then it was off to the post office to drop off the packages, after the post office I headed over to Joann's Fabrics.

After much thought and consideration I figured it was about time I drag myself into the 21st century and learn to use a rotary cutter. It just so happened I had a coupon for 50% off and I had noticed this nifty set last week when I was picking up ribbon and rickrack for my embroidery class project.

It comes with a rotary cutter, 18" x 24"cutting mat and 6" x 24" ruler, with the coupon it was under $30.00 which is a great deal, usually the price for just the ruler ranges from $16.00 to $24.00.  I love those 50% off coupons.  

I arrived at Joann's right after the store opened and was in and out before I had the chance to talk myself out of buying it, I think my hands will be relieved when I start using the cutter rather then scissors to cut fabric for my next quilt, with all the troubles I have with my hands mastering this tool should be very helpful.

While at the grocery store I picked up a couple of needle craft magazines and the current issue of Florida Gardening I grabbed at Sam's Club the only place I ever find it. I'm sure there is a project or two among the lot.

On the way home I picked up a two books I had reserved at the library, now I have something new to read when my fingers get to tingly with the embroidery projects.

Right now though I have a few letters to write before it gets too late and I'm too tired after my busy day my motor is just about winding down.
