Stash, stash stash!

Well, after my eventful week last week and my weekend being cut in half since I worked 12 1/2 hours on Sunday; I decided to do a little retail therapy. I went to my LNS, Stitching Post, and while there bought a variety of items I needed for current stitching projects, Christmas project supplies and a few items which just called my name. So, my grand total ended up being the 2008 Christmas Ornament magazine, LK's Special Edition Christmas is Forever Kit, 2 LK patterns: Dont get your tinsel in a tangle and Housework never killed anyone... but why take a chance? and Doodle for leftovers by HobNobb Designs (Holiday Sprinkles). I also picked up a piece of Guacamole Weeks 30 count linen for LK's Hocus Pokus and a few Just Another Button Company embelishments. Afterall, she who dies with the most stash wins or something like that!

I have been working on a few of my smaller projects. I have been working on a bat from Monster Bubbles from the Just Cross Stitch Halloween issue and also on Trail Creek Farm's Simply Spring. I ordered the few embellishments I needed for the Spring and Winter Trail Creek Farm pieces so when they arrive, I will be donw with this series. They turned out to be a cute stitch and I'm planning on turning them into mini-pillows for decoration. I am going to work on LK's Christmas Blessings this week because I would like to complete 2 more of the blessings leaving only 1 more to be done! Woo-hoo! Also, I did some work on my LHN Starlight Sampler which I am planning on hanging in my RV when done. I just loved this piece and the saying on it which is, "Stars light up the heavens when evening draws near guiding thy travels til sunlight appears." As you can tell, I almost have the saying done. A little more work and this piece will be halfway done.

Well, time to do some stitching! :) Have fun!
