The Dash for Stash Room is Open for Business

I finally have gotten around to getting the pieces of fabric ready for sale.  You can get to my "Dash for Stash" room by clicking on the picture over to the right.  I have started out with the fabrics that I want to sell.  As I go thru my patterns I will add them.....hopefully I will get some of them together this coming weekend.  Since I don't have it set up to automatically go to Paypal, first come first served will be the order of the day.  

Blessings, Barbara

Linen and a Tote Bag For Sale

I stitched this design on a piece of 28ct. Ancient Cashel linen and then made it into a cute little tote bag. The bag measures about 12 x 14 inches and has 5 outside pockets. It is fully lined and you can find it in my finished album for sale.

These are small pieces of linen that I just cannot throw away. I figure there is someone who could use these for ornaments or smalls. The linens are either 32ct or 28ct and there are several different companies and colors included. Some are solid colors and some are hand dyed. These have been sold.

More Items Added to Stash For Sale Page

For those of you that are interested, I listed some new books in my stash sale album. These are not just cross stitch but other kinds of craft ideas from making your own paper to projects to make using different ribbons.

As always, Barbara

Just Adding to the Stash

Today was a nice sunny day here in Orlando and I felt like adding to my stash. First I went and purchased 3 new pairs of scissors for my collection.

I went to my local LNS and purchased some more of the DMC Floche thread. If you haven't tried this yet, do try and find some in your area or on the net. It stitches up just like silk and lays beautifully. Today I bought it in red and black for some french designs and the black is for the AMAP Frou Frou which I can't wait to start.

I'm still plucking away on the AMAP Octagonal Quaker and hopefully I'll have that finished today or tomorrow. I absolutely love doing AMAP designs and the french designers....I'm not sure if it's because of the colors they use which is primarily red or the designs themselves. They have such different designs than what you find from American designers. I will be sure to post a picture of the Octagonal design here when I get it finished. I'm stitching it on Vikki's 36ct. Old Grey Mare linen with Old Maid of the Vineyard silk. If you haven't tried HDF silks yet.....don't waste anymore time....just order some and try it....you won't regret it.
