__________Splurge__________
Reminds me of Mardi Gras. You can check out some of the other beautiful designs at http://kelmscottdesigns.com/needle-minders.htm. They even have an Adam & Eve minder for those of you stitching your way through A&E walls.
_________Fabric__________
28 Count Linen (1/8 yard each)
(Lugana Summer Khaki (for Mother's TLC), Cashel Light Mocha & Cashel Antique Ivory).
_________New Charts_________
Lizzie Kate
"Sons are a Special Joy" and "Home is Where Our Story Begins"
"Home is Where Our Story Begins" for a journal cover.
__________Floss__________
Sampler Threads - Peach Ice Cream, Claret, Victorian Pink, Dried Thyme & Midnight
All kitted up and ready to go, hoping to finish this for DM for Mother's Day.
WDW - Whiskey, Curry & Honeysuckle
(I am currently stitching this chart in Queen Bee,
but wanted to do it again in the recommended threads)
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Hoping to post some stitching progress after the weekend.
Stay warm (I think it is still unusually cold almost everywhere) and come back again.
Great additions! And the new blog look is great. What LNS do you use?
ReplyDeleteMarian,
ReplyDeleteI have links for my LNSs at the bottom of the blog. Since they are all at least 50 miles away, I try to alternate locations since they each have their own "personality".
•Acadian Corner (Metairie)- very nice staff & lots of floss
•Accents, Inc. (Metairie)- great selection of local charts
•Gary's Crafts & Needlework, Inc. (Metairie)- huge selection of charts & lots of older charts
•Cross-Stitch Corner (Baton Rouge) - next on my list, but have not visited before, hoping to go in March/April
•Threadneedle Street (Mississippi) - want to visit during the summer
•Garden District Needlework (New Orleans) - mostly needlepoint & knitting, but love the needlepoint NO ornaments (just can't afford them)
•Cajun Crossn' (online) - I have not made any online purchases yet
I love your needle minder! Enjoy all your new stitchy things.
