How precious are these?

They are stitch markers I just found on-line at a site I wandered upon.

I just bought my first fancy stitch markers the other day (blue and white and remind me of Delftware...very pretty), from Lone Star Arts. I also bought some sock yarn in the bubblegum colorway for the Hawaii trip because I've already knit up the KP Hawaii colorway I had in my stash. I wanted some bright and cheerful "Hawaii" colors and it's perfect. Pink, yellow, blue, green.

The ladybugs are $9.00 plus shipping, though, and that's a little pricey for stitch markers. Since she only sells stitch markers and stitch holders and not yarns, I can't buy a skein of yarn to make the whole thing worth while.

But they are precious, and we all know how I am about ladybugs nowadays.

Speaking if which, I am STILL waiting on the HS. My social worker lost a co-worker to suicide last week, so nothing really got done. She says she'll work on it Wednesday since she has the day off. I totally understand about the suicide...that has got to be terrible. I'm getting anxious about this HS, though. This is taking WAY tlonger than I thought it would. I was going to try to have our dossier submitted to China by the end of August and I just don't think we'll make that date now.

I love those stitch markers! Very cute!

I'm sorry about the wait on your HS. I feel like I am going crazy waiting on our I-171H. I don't know if I'll make my end of August goal either..very frustrating and definitely invokes some anxiety in me too. But, we have to remember, it will all work out in the end. This will all be worth it! :)

The ladybugs are adorable and while I know you are sympathetic to your social worker, you could let her know that it's your goal to have your dossier in by the end of August and you really want to stick with that goal! Hopefully the ball will get rolling again soon!
