Seduced

I've hardly read any blogs this week. I've been seduced away from the Internet by Netflix! In a word ~ awesome! I spent the time watching The Pillars of the Earth and finishing the stitching on my exchange...then a few threads were put into this damn suitcase. Not a lot of progress to show but the exchange will be finished soon, maybe this weekend and it doesn't have far to travel so I'll be able to post it next week. Maybe this suitcase will be done soon too? I'll catch up on my reader this weekend for sure.


I know you didn't come here to see my puny stitching progress. You wanna see who won, right? I had a lot of entries for the Halloween pin pillow giveaway! Lots of you like Halloween! I put the number of entries into the random generator and it spit out lucky # 13. However, Peggy Lee is # 13 and she asked not to be included, sooooo...the next number chosen was #1, Silverlotus of Reflections in the Pond. Woo ~ congratulations! I'll be in contact for your mailing address! And Peg? How do you manage to get drawn twice in a row???

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! I know you can ;o)

Congrats to the winner!

Peggy Lee said...

Oh now that's just WEIRD!
I am SO HAPPY for the winner though...especially since it was #1 and everybody says that one doesn't get picked.
Your stitching is absolutely gorgeous and anyone should be honored to receive something from you.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Netflix IS awesome. When all the local movie rental places closed down we had to find something to satisfy our occasional movie fix. Now we enjoy several movies a month. Keep stitching on that suitcase - you'll have it done in no time.

Karen said...

OMG...I love Netflix too and can watch them online while I stitch! Best thing ever...

Great job on your stitching..keep plugging away and you will be finished in no time.

Deborah said...

Netflix are the best!! I reciently finished the many years of The Practice. Gorgeous stitching.

Mel said...

puny progress is still progress! :)

Congrats silverlotus!

Ohh... i wish we had netflix in Canada. I settle for Zip which is close but not as awesome.

I'm seduced by Netflix too! I watch on my Xbox while I stitch.

Kathy A. said...

Ahh seduced by the movies. I so understand. I agree though - no Netflix here (pout)
Lovely stitching.

katica said...

Congrats to the winner! Also how did you like Pillars of the Earth?
My sister in law worked on that film while they filmed it! We're in the process of watching it too, though we don't have Netflix so we have to wait for Monday night when its on :O)

Angela said...

I loved Pillars of the Earth, thought it was great! I love your puny amount of stitching, don't give up it's gonna be super gorgeous when it's finished. Congrats to the winner of the Halloween pillow :)

Lesleyanne said...

Lovely progress not matter how puny. Congratulations to the winner.

Christine said...

Your progress may be puny to you, but its more stitching than I've managed this week. You're nearly halfway with the blocks now.

Hillery said...

You're almost done with JUNE, congratulations, Sharon. It's coming along nicely. As for Netflix....I love it too.
Thanks for sharing, have a great day.

Carol said...

I keep thinking about subscribing to Netflix, but I worry that I'd watch too much television. How did you like Pillars of the Earth, Sharon? I haven't read the book, but people rave about it...

You're almost done with "June"--you can do it :)

Vonna Pfeiffer said...

Netflix and seduction...I love them :)
We're getting the family the Roku box for Christmas...oh man then it will probably become a deeply seated habit :)

Carolyn NC said...

Almost done - and it looks great!

Lynn said...

Good progress on the suitcase. Won't be long now! Thanks for the link. This is new to me.
Congrats to the winner!

Patty C. said...

Wait a minute - I don't have netflix - Is that why I'm getting some stitching done :O
Apparently I am missing out

And regardless of what you say - I love your puny stitching progress ;)
