Given how much I now realized that I’ve picked up in the past month, I’m not sure I really saved anything while on my stash “diet”. ;)


Design: It’s Never Too Late
Designer: Primrose Needleworks


Design: One of Those Days
Designer: Miss Crescent’s Crowne


Design: Three Blox – Noel, Joy, Fa-La-La
Designer: Lizzie Kate


Design: Eek! Limited Edition Scissor Fob
Designer: Lizzie Kate


Design: Poinsettia House
Designer: Little House Needleworks


Design: Jenny Bean Halloween Sampler
Designer: Shakespeare’s Peddle

The final photo actually includes a few new purchases. The first is a counted canvas piece called Rodeo Queen by local designer Margaret Bendig. I’m not sure if I’ll ever do the little cowboy boot scissor holder, but I *love* the little heart-shaped needlebook. I bought the kit just to get that. P

Next is the “Toil & Trouble” chart from La-D-Da. It’s is a companion piece to last year’s “Something Wicked” chart that I already have.

The last chart is the “Afraid of the Dark” sampler from Belinda at Blue Ribbon Designs. I’m not sure if I’ll ever stitch the actual sampler, but I love all the little smalls options and just had to have a copy. )

Finally, there are also a couple of adorable little metal Needle Nannies from Puffin & Company. One is a kitty and the other is a sheep. I don’t use needle minders much when cross-stitching, but use them constantly when working on canvas projects.

Until next time …

    2009-Nov-24 Awesome stash; I've been seeing Jenny's Christmas around a lot lately. As for the BRD Hallowe'en motifs, I agree with you EXACTLY. I read that dress one as "If today were a dress I'd let you in it." lol. Where is my mind, eh? :sly:
