What Does A Girl Need?

MORE STASH!!!!

More? I hear you say. Yes, more! This lot is from Needlecraft Corner that I ordered last month. No, there's nothing from the recent market releases unfortunately (I'm trying to hold off on those) but a few bits and pieces I wanted to get.

First up are some charts. Some of them aren't available everywhere, so I was happy to get them.

NOTFORGOTTEN FARM - Dirty Snowmen

PLUM STREET SAMPLERS - Sophie's Sheep

NOTFORGOTTEN FARM - Ah, 'Tis Spring

LITTLE HOUSE NEEDLEWORKS - Fresh Watermelon, and Bee Sampler

Next up are threads. These ones are for a project I'll be doing soon. The clue is in one of the charts above.

OK, you guessed it.

Then some linens.

The top three WDW are 35ct with the Belfast being 32ct. The Beige has the slightest bit of a green tone to it if anything. It's only an undertone so not too obvious and it's a better colour than I thought it would be. The Linen has come up a bit pinkish in the photo, which it's not. It's an off-white colour and the same I'm doing BK&BT on. I love it and wanted more on hand. The other two I didn't get for any particular project but there will be ones where I'll need a blue coloured fabric for them. Don't they look scrumptious?

And lastly, a couple of Wildflowers threads which were being cleared out at a good discount.

WILDFLOWERS - Rose Quartz (top), and Rose Blush

So a bit of a mixture of things there. I know I always like seeing other peoples stash when they show it on their blogs, so that's why I like to show mine. You sometimes see something you hadn't before. I love those little discoveries.

Latest on BK&BT - it's finished! Yes, I stitched the last stitches today. The man and woman have eyes now and I'll show you pictures of it tomorrow. I'm going to get back to Angel In Your Heart next and hopefully it won't take much longer to complete.

Til tomorrow ~ happy stitching and stashing!

Linen & Nashville

I bought some linens recently from Wyndham Needleworks since they were on special. Mostly R & R linens as they're not always available 'on hand' at a lot of needlework shops. You know, I find it hard to buy linens online because sometimes when you receive them the colour looks different to what you were expecting. Overall I'm quite happy with these.

Top to Bottom - R & R Reproductions 35ct Kansas City Blend, 35ct Liberty Gathering Gray, 40ct Liberty Gathering Gray, and 32ct Zweigart Golden Sand

Left to Right - R & R Reproductions 30ct Mink, and 35ct Park City Blend

It's nice to have a few linens on hand to go with a new project. Keep in mind though that R & R linens tend to be on the stiff side.


Now onto Nashville Market. I'm sure most of you are up to date with what's been released by now? So what's your favourites? I absolutely love SB Blue Snowman!!! I'm a real sucker for these snowmen series they do and this one is just gorgeous.

Other favourites of the new releases are:

SB - My Land, Liberty Pincushion, Liberty Scissor Fob, and Lucky Sheep
BBD - Honeysuckle Manor book, and Snow Garden
SHAKESPEAR'S PEDDLER - Jenny Bean's Humble Servant Sampler

They're the main ones I like. I'm not going to race out and get them now though. I can wait.

Onto my SAL with Melissa. I really didn't get much done yesterday as I didn't have a lot of free time. I've stitched a few letters to the left of the woman and made a start on the tree. Melissa hasn't been feeling the best so she didn't get a lot done either. Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon and next time I'll have some pictures to show.
