Part Two ~ Silver Needle Stash

Here are some more pictures of the stash I received from The Silver Needle's New Year's Eve sale.

HE 'Spooky Stuff' Button Sampler chart with two pumpkin buttons (need four), and four flag buttons for Freedom House Button Sampler chart (already have the chart)

SB Egg Button which goes with their Hide and Seek chart (don't have this chart yet)

I also got a couple of other linen cuts. They were 32ct Cafe Mocha for CCN The Bakery, and 28ct Pearl Grey for CCN Forest Snowfall. The Cafe Mocha I thought would be a little lighter than what it is. It's a darker, natural type of linen. The Pearl Grey is more grey than I would have thought too. I was expecting slightly more blue to it but I guess it looks similar to what the chart shows.

The other things I got were CCN Princess Parade and LHN Fa La La charts, along with some various threads for different projects.

Oh, and the Jill Rensel mat for one of my SB finishes. I'll show you that another time because I've done a whole range of photos for it which will be better displayed on its own.

The needlework markets are always exciting to see what comes out. The upcoming one later in February this year will have some interesting things, I'm sure. I'm itching to see what new designs are going to be released!

Thanks for your comments as always, and have a wonderful stitching week.

Homespun Elegance

I've been searching a few designer websites lately, which I know I shouldn't because I keep seeing new designs that I like! I've got three stash orders on the go at the moment (four actually, but that's another story for some other time) so do you think I need to go looking to see more things I want to get? Of course not. But that's never stopped me before.:)

I was looking at Homespun Elegance site the other day and spotted this new chart.

Homespun Elegance - May Our Handworks Fulfill Our Hearts' Desire

I think this one's gorgeous. It's got an olde world look to it. So naturally it's going on my next stash order. It doesn't matter how many charts and kits you have, there's always room for a few more!

Little House Needleworks have on their site the titles of upcoming releases this month. They're called Embroidery Guild and The Rain Fell. I'm hanging out to see what they're like. I keep checking their site every day to see if they have pictures up. Not yet.:( The suspense is killing me!
