Stash!! Well, obviously. I've been checking out somebody's blog (and at
the moment I can't remember whose it is, argh!!) for a couple of months
now and she's been working on A Drawn Threads "The Wayward
Garden". It's breath taking!! I've actually been yearning over this chart
since the first time that I saw it on A Drawn Threads site, but seeing it
actually being stitched, and what it looks like in (almost) reality sort of
pushed me over the edge. I ordered it, and the threads and fabric, from
Stitching Bit's n Bobs, and the whole shebang arrived today.
I am well and truly out of my cotton picking mind!! Do you know the size
of this thing? And it has specialty stitches!! Well, of course it does Judy,
it is a A Drawn Thread design after all. The silks are lovely colours, and I
look forward to using them for the first time. Rupert keeps trying to steal
them, and I have to watch him like a hawk. These beauties are too
expensive to allow a cat to treat them as surrogate mice. Meanwhile,
since I was placing an order anyways, I figured that I might as well order
another A Drawn Thread design that I'd seen stitched up on another blog.
I had no idea reading blogs was going to cost so much!! Ah well.
Last weekend I placed another order with Stitching Bit's n Bobs for a
pile of LHN designs and some fabric. I couldn't help myself!!! Oh, and I
also ordered a couple of Lizzy Kate charts, since I don't have any of those
yet, and heck, might as well be hung for a sheep, as a lamb. One of these
days I'm really going to have to start behaving myself.
But I'm sure having fun!!!
P.S. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - you may have heard of it -
fantastic read. I'm on page 420 and steaming ahead. This is the
best one yet, for me anyways.
P.P.S. Only two work days left until vacation!!
P.P.P.S. There sure are a lot of exclamation points in this post, aren't
there???

You're so funny! I find I tend to use a lot of exclamation points, and have to stop myself. Love the stash you got - Wayward Garden is a beauty.
Isn't it fun to get new stash, especially if you can find the time to stitch some of it. Keep having fun!!!
Lovely stash, both of your projects will be beautiful. So, which all LHN projects did you order?
