Stash it to the max

Saturday February 23, 2013

Today was stitch day at the Toronto Stitchery Guild. 
... so I packed 3 bags.
Yup. For 6 hours.
You do recall that I'm a Scouting Leader right?
Be prepared.
I really liked the idea of the lady who brought a suitcase on wheels.....

Ok, ok, so I was hoping for a mass freak snowstorm so I could spend a few days there.

I felt compelled to go. 
Was it because there were so many door prizes?


I didn't win anything... 

maybe it was some silly games


Nope, didn't win anything there either.

Or more silly contests...

Yup, ... rock paper scissors....
I wasn't asked to demonstrate my expertise in that area either.
But I did give a friend a tip ;)
Besides, need to let my friends win sometimes too.


Or maybe the discovery of new newfangled must-have tools?


I really want one of these Ort boxes - they are gorgeous!

Or perhaps, in an absurd way, 
the potential of seeing a
possessed cat?


Nope.

I am so having googly eyes ready for the next time I see this...



It was the S.E.X.

For those of you that have your mind in the gutter....
In stitchy terms this stands for 

Stash Enhancement Xperience

More specifically today it was MEGA S.E.X.

The kind that make your muscles sore from lifting all the new treasures...
you can't live without.

The ones that work up a major appetite ... 
for more.

And the amount that makes you thankful that your kind friend
has a large trunk ...
and not quite needing to rent a U-haul.

The kind that you learn from...
to have a better plan of attack for next year.
There was some scraping and hair pulling I tell ya! ;)

There was an abundance of food and deserts too.

Speaking of chocolate....

I have some of the BEST neighbors :)



oh yeahhhhhhhh
hmm.. seems to be a cookie theme lately...

Tea's on!



But spending the day with some best friends...

priceless.

Now I think I need to invite them over for a stash experience ...
but that's another story....

well, whilst S.E.X.ing, I realized I'll be soon done a theme-along challenge I found on the WWFC blog  ... but that's another story :)

I have no idea what an Ort box is, but it's beautiful. I must have one.

I don't have any orts - can I still get a box? How many orts can fit into a box anyway? Why didn't you take any photos of the orts? Dammit - take the ort out of the box and take a photo of it!

Okay, why are all the comments about orts? All I saw was MEGA SEX.

Leave it to Ziva to make this into something more than orts.
