123stitch & Cinderella story

I got the fabric I needed online today from 123Stitch I tried both AC Moore and Michaels hoping to be able to use the 40% off coupons but they just didn't have 16 count grey aida in the size I needed to start Mermaid Heaven . I also picked up 16 count black fabric to stitch Night Eyes .. Don't know when I'll actually get to that one, but I figured I might as well take advantage of the shipping rather then have to pay more to ship it another time.

I'm excited about starting Mermaid Heaven as a SAL with Jenn. I think it will be a great inspiration to stitch it together and show our progress here on our blogs.

I also need to start the SAL for Angel of Fantasy finally this weekend.... NO more excuses since I'm supposed to share my progress this Sunday! haha

This Cinderella story is just TOO funny! I got this email 2 times today and thought I would share lol


Cinderella is now 95 years old. After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship.

One sunny afternoon out of nowhere appeared the fairy godmother. Cinderella said, "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after all these years?"

The fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. Is there anything for which your heart still yearns?"

Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed and after some thoughtful consideration, she uttered her first wish: "The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor. I'm living hand to mouth on my disability checks and I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension."

Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold Cinderella said, "Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother."

The fairy godmother replied "It is the least that I can do. What do you want for your second wish?"

Cinderella looked down at her frail body and said, "I wish I were young and full of the beauty and youth I once had."

At once, her wish became reality and her beautiful young visage returned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside of her that had been dormant for years.

And then the fairy godmother spoke once more: "You have one more wish; what shall it be?"

Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says, "I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man."

Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his biological make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man so beautiful the likes of him neither she nor the world had ever seen.

The fairy godmother said, "Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life!" With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the Fairy Godmother was gone as suddenly as she appeared.

For a few eerie moments Bob and Cinderella looked into each other's eyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful, stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.

Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rocking chair, and held her close in his young muscular arms. He leaned in close, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he whispered...

"Bet you're sorry you neutered me."
