Some Good Deals...

I love finding little gadgets and accessories for my stitching... boxes, bags, containers, and doodads. I especially love finding them at odd places like Walgreen's or Target. I don't know... I'm just strange that way! Anyway, I found some mesh bags at Target (on sale for $2.48) that come three to a bag, so I snatched up all three packs that they had there (don't ask why I couldn't have been happy with just one pack).

I also picked up a couple of organizers to put my small patterns like Lizzie Kate, etc in. These were just $1.99 ea. They have tabs to make them alphabetical or monthly, so I did both. In one I have all my monthly Lizzie Kate's and in the other I have them listed alphabetically by pattern name.

So anyway, that's my Target finds. I also did a little stitching last night. I finished up the border on Spring Violets. Not very exciting, but at least tonight I can get to work on the flowers along the bottom and then I'll have met my rotation goal for this piece.

I received my Celtic Banner pattern the other day along with some of the threads I ordered. I realized I ordered the wrong threads (Watercolours instead of Wildflowers), so I decided instead of reordering the Wildflowers I would go with something different - Waterlilies because I'm using a smaller count fabric than what it calls for (32 instead of 29).

Well, that's all for now! Write later! :)

    Thanks for the heads up about the mesh bags - I use those for my stitching; I didn't know that Target sold them.

    What a great way to organize your small charts! Mine always seem to get lost in with the bigger ones. Great progress on your new piece too!

    Those organizers and bags look great! Sigh....I miss Target!

    Your Caron threads look gorgeous for Celtic Banner. Does that mean a start is coming up soon?
