Carolyn Talked Me Into It

Yep that Carolyn posted about a pinkeep and it grabbed me. Of course I had to add a little spin on it. Turned over on the back, there is a place to hold my scissors. This didn't take long at all to finish and I particularly love the ribbon for the bow. I get it at one of my haunts here in Orlando, The Sewing Studio, and it's green on one side and pink on the other. This comes in alot of different color combinations and you know I'll have to get all of them. LOL

Just a reminder....don't forget to enter my giveaway.

As always, Barbara

GOS Challenge #5 and This Ones a Giveaway

This challenge from GOS this time was a stumper for a while then it hit me. This one is a standup that holds your needle in the front on the magnetic strip and then on the back there is a lace sleeve to hold your scissors.

This is also a giveaway. Please leave your name and email on this post and I'll have hubby draw a name next saturday nite. This is open to anyone that reads my blog.
Good luck and as always, Barbara

Another Market finish

This sweet little scissor case comes from Dinky Dyes and is their latest release. You can see that it's a little different from their other scissor cases that they have released and this one has matching scissors.

Just Adding to the Stash

Today was a nice sunny day here in Orlando and I felt like adding to my stash. First I went and purchased 3 new pairs of scissors for my collection.

I went to my local LNS and purchased some more of the DMC Floche thread. If you haven't tried this yet, do try and find some in your area or on the net. It stitches up just like silk and lays beautifully. Today I bought it in red and black for some french designs and the black is for the AMAP Frou Frou which I can't wait to start.

I'm still plucking away on the AMAP Octagonal Quaker and hopefully I'll have that finished today or tomorrow. I absolutely love doing AMAP designs and the french designers....I'm not sure if it's because of the colors they use which is primarily red or the designs themselves. They have such different designs than what you find from American designers. I will be sure to post a picture of the Octagonal design here when I get it finished. I'm stitching it on Vikki's 36ct. Old Grey Mare linen with Old Maid of the Vineyard silk. If you haven't tried HDF silks yet.....don't waste anymore time....just order some and try it....you won't regret it.
