Incoherent Scribblings

So today Mom and I went on our last shopping hoorah before I go back to Germany next week and we stopped by Hobby Lobby so that I could get one more fistful of DMC. And what do you know? They were having a sale on their needlework items!

Yep, you guessed it… I have some more stash to report. I bought some needles and some more DMC, but my big haul was on the charts, some of which were on my wish list.

Check it out! I got:

Cinderella: Just-a-Chart, Janlynn

Sleeping Beauty: Just-a-Chart, Janlynn

Needlework Shoppe : Just-a-Chart, Janlynn

Queen Anne’s Lace: Lavender and Lace

The Quiltmaker: Lavender and Lace

Fairy Flora: Mirabilia

Dragonflies, Ladybugs, and Bees, Oh My!: M Designs

Sun Needle Roll: M Designs

Irish Chain: Pam Kellogg

Victorian Boot: Pam Kellogg

I got the Just-a-Charts for $1.49 a piece and the L&L’s for $2.49 a piece, but the best bargain had to be the Mirabilia. I got “Fairy Flora” as a kit that included fabric, floss (with blending filament), and the beads for $14.00! A lot of times those charts by themselves cost that much!

The only thing I didn’t get on sale was “Irish Chain” by Pam Kellogg, but since I got such good deals on everything else I didn’t really care. This is a chart that came with Kreinik Silk Mori Milkpaint Threads for $14.00. I really wanted this mini-kit because it is an advanced design that will not only allow me to use silk threads, but practice my one-over stitching. (It is supposed to be stitched one-over on 32 count!)

So now, on my Scout’s Honor, I promise that I will not buy anymore stash before I go back to Germany. (Please pay no attention to the fingers that I have crossed behind my back.)
