A Little Stitchy (geeky) Gift For Myself

Here's a little indulgence I allowed myself as an early Christmas gift. I spotted this Stitchopoly game at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago. When it first caught my eye, I kinda thought, "Oh, ha! Lookie there - it's Monopoly but for stitchers. Cute."

Then I picked it up.

And I started noticing things like ... Lazy Daisy real estate and ....

the details on the packaging and ....

the unbelievably awesome game pieces that are teeny DMC goodies.

I immediately stashed it in my cart. It was the only one on the shelf, I'd never seen it before, and I figured I could at least walk around with it for a while before I decided if I would splurge and get it for myself. I thought about putting it back and dropping hints to my husband, but then I realized that a) he probably wouldn't get the hints or b) if he did get the hints, the game might not be there when he went back. I decided not to risk it and went ahead and brought it home.


Isn't it beyond rad? Now to just find some equally geek-a-liscious friends to play with me .... anyone? (more pictures over on Flickr)
