Still stitching...

This is my in-between stitching until the April BOM is released - I have had this little kit for quite a few years and while I was searching for something else I found it. I am not sure what I think of it yet - the thread isn't DMC and I think it is making a difference to the overall stitching quality - or perhaps it is just my imagination...


A couple of weeks ago I received a Spotlight gift voucher for $10 - I wasn't going to bother with it as I instictively knew that it was just a lure for me to spend more money - which I did :) But last Sunday I thought I would just go and have a look since I didn't go to the Stitches and Craft show - the quilting book was a find at it was only $19.95 - it sells for $29.95 elsewhere and well, I liked the little butterfly buttons and I had forgotten the week before that I needed another DMC thread to continue on with the BOM stitcheries - so that went onto the pile plus the fabric was already reduced and I think it cost me $2.50... I think all in all it cost me another $16 ...


Yesterday - Saturday I went to my stitching group for the first time this year - it was lovely to spend a couple of hours stitching and laughing with a great group of ladies - it cleared my mind and lightened my spirit - an oasis in a neverending desert of everyday life.

Until next time...

I can't tell from here what thread you are using on your Redwork pic, but it looks great, Sharon.
You have a talent for spotting butterfly buttons! I've used all but one of the last lot you gave me.
I'm glad to hear you spent some me-time at your Stitching Group on Saturday; beats holding the sky up, doesn't it?
Have you two thought any more about going to the Zoo? We'll have the next five to six weekends free, so if you can decide on a date sometime in there, maybe we can go together as we discussed.
