Stash in the mail!! Don't you just love it? I had ordered the supplies for Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. The Waterlilies, the beads, the treasures and the chart. And...some really nice purple scissors from Premax of Italy. They cut really well and the price wasn't too bad, either!
She's finally here!! Abigail Colby, that is.;P
I did not take a picture of my basket. I got the oval one; however, I am a little disappointed in the quality of the basket, considering the cost of this chart(s).
Here are a few of the charts I received from Elegant Stitch, as well as the Special Edition The Attic from Little House Needleworks, from The Attic. The charts are from Ewe and Eye and Friends.
Here's a little more progress on my SSG Quaker Box. This portion is the back of the box, with a little start on one of the corners.
Since Needle Necessities is no longer going to be in business, I decided to buy a few skeins of floss. It helped that the threads were 25% off at my LNS ~ http://www.needlecraft-corner.com/
They came in the mail today!!
More stash! Went to The Stitching Post today. I really only got the DMC's, the wool threads,the beehive and the gingerbread cottage chart there today. Carol brought me back the Carriage House Samplings Mermaid Punchneedle chart as well as the Lakeside Linen in 36 count Pear from her trip to Arizona. Kathleen brought me the Gloriana's that were missing from my Tuscany kit, the Mirabilia chart and the new Blue Ribbon chart. All in all, a very good day!
When I named my blog, I was thinking more in terms of what I've done over the years with "a simple thread." From cross stitch, to machine sewing, hardanger, needlepoint, all basically with "a simple thread."
Today, my fondness for "a simple thread" definitely got me into trouble....stash trouble, that is:))
See what happens when you go to the LNS for "a simple thread"......I came away with quite a few "threads" and such.
Went a little crazy! Take a peek....isn't that box just wonderful? It's for the new Drawn Thread design...
