Wow is June almost
over? I have to say I had a pretty good
time. Hope you all did too.
Smalls SAL wise, I
have more small starts than finishes.
The
explanations/excuses for this lack of finishes could go on forever. Now on to more fun stuff.
Comic Con (the
local one, or as they’ve taken to calling themselves DCC) was two weekends
ago. I decided that would be a good time
to start on one of my SFS purchases for the month. This is also my first ETSY pattern purchase. I’m making it for my nephew. (If not this
one, the next oneJ),
I also did some
shopping on EBay. I found a deal and
purchased some Ivory 18 count. 2 yards for less than $10. I’m planning on using it for a Mystic Stitch
pattern and one from Witchy kit Designs.
Both are solidly stitched in, so I didn’t think the fabric color would
matter.
My other EBay
purchase for the month was some 16 count fabric. Not quite the deal as the 18 count, but I did
get free shipping. Don’t have that in
yet, so no picture.
Last Saturday was
fun. There was lots of stash building. I picked up 2 magazines I wanted. Then I used a gift card and coupon I had for
Michaels to get another piece of 16 count fabric, some needles, floss and floss
box. The floss and box I’m dedicating to
my future sprite stitching.
But the epic find
of the weekend came when I was out to lunch with my friend. I noticed there was a craft store on the
corner, so after lunch we went in. Nice
place, but it wasn’t until we left that I found the cross stitch in this cart
on the sidewalk. And the best deal I may
find in a long time. Because in the bag
with this sticker:
Was all of this.
How cool is
that!! Those pieces are still folded
too. Trust me, they’re large and I’m
excessively pleased with myself.
So, Etsy, EBay,
Michaels, the LNS and my new favorite craft store. And thanks to Mel’s extra $50 bonus for the
month, my total came to $72.57.
Not much
stitching, but as I said, a pretty good time.
Happy stitching
World
