Today I went to my LNS for the first time in almost a year and I loved it. I will be starting 3 different cross stitch projects in the next couple of days....
I saw this Lizzie Kate boxer and I felt it tied up in a few words how I've been feeling for awhile. I know Lizzie Kate loves overdyed flosses but I'm going to do mine in either DMC or pick out some HDF silks that I have. No more building up of a stash.
This is one of Nora Corbett's witches called Gigi. I bought a 28ct. hand dyed linen by Picture This Plus called Nocturne to stitch her on. It will look like she's standing in front of a storm cloud. Can't wait to start this one.
And last but not least is this sweet design by La-D-Da that I've always admired. This one will be done on a light grey with a HDF silk.....maybe.
So I'm going to try to get back in the swing of things and get some stitches on some fabric. Since I won't be storing anything, everything that I purchase will eventually be given away when I'm finished with that pattern so look forward to that.
Wish me luck.....
Barbara
I love Gigi - can't wait to see her on the fabric you got!
ReplyDeletealmost a year, never would have bet on that! xo
ReplyDeleteGood for you Barbara. You controlled yourself too. Easier to do with less cash, isn't it? I know!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have some promising new projects to inspire you! I'm happy you will be enjoying stitching again.
ReplyDeleteYou've chosen lovely projects!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Nothing like going to the LNS.
ReplyDeleteNice choices Barbara, I especially like Spring Hare, it has a certain old fashioned tone to it, a bit like the vintage "Alice In Wonderland" vibe.
ReplyDeleteI love Spring Hare! It's very elelgant. I had never seen that design before.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are picking up needle and thread again.
ReplyDeleteI bet you enjoyed your trip to the LNS.
Gigi will look fabulous on Nocturne!
