Stash!!

It's been awhile since I've bought any stash (cross stitch, not gadgets), so when I went up to Amy's on Saturday I got a few things I've been wanting from Down Sunshine Lane...

stash from Down Sunshine Lane


I got the new Blackbird Designs and JCS ornament issue. I also got a couple LHN ornaments and an oldie from Carriage House. "As Life Wears Away." I have always loved this design!

I got some 36 ct. Magnolia Linen from Lakeside to stitch Scarlet Letter's "Ann Smith." I was originally going to use 36 ct. Vintage Pearled Barley, but then I saw Glenna's Start on Magnolia and knew I had to copy her (sorry Glenna)! :)

Ann Smith


I think going to Amy's is going to help get me out of my slump. I feel energized to stitch again!! :) Well, I'm going to get back to organizing my new stash and maybe settle down to finally get some stitching done!

  1. Wow that looks like a lovely sampler you are starting...I have never ordered a SL sampler pattern...I've been avoiding looking LOL! Isn't there something so satisfying & exciting about seeing everything kitted up ready to begin? I have been trying not to buy stash lately and concentrate on the framing pile instead but it's hard. The great thing about blogging is we get to see ideas from others and I don't think anyone minds if you take an idea from them, otherwise why would be they be blogging. :) Have a great week.

  13. Nice stash! It's always exciting to add to stash treasure! I haven't seen the SB pincushions - they are pretty and I think will be added to my stash, too. You're right - the linen is perfect for that design. I hope it helps you with your slump,too, as your work is always a joy to see!
