New Stash!!!

-
Yes, I know I'm not supposed to be buying stash but other people certainly can right? Saturday was my birthday, Jay and Mom were both nice enough to buy me some so I can have my fix!




These two are full kits. I've seen them before but for one reason or another talked myself out of them each time citing the fact that I already have thread and didn't need to purchase a kit but I've never spotted either as a chart only. The borders on each of these are quite fun, I just hope they're not too much of a test to stitch


Then there was some new beading things! I've been hunting for this beading book for a while and never found a shop that carried it for whatever reason. Mom hadn't yet found it so she gave me some money to spend on whatever I wanted and happily the beading book was finally in stock, even better I had enough left to buy The Best of Beadwork also. If you like to bead and haven't seen this one its worth a look. Some great jewelry in here and the amulet bag on the cover! I've seen chain mail over on Dani's blog, I believe she made a bracelet and was intrigued so now I have a design to try out!

I also got a One Stroke Painting kit which is another thing I've been wanting to try. I wanted to make some painted ornaments for my Christmas tree to go with all the stitched ones I have. We'll see how that goes ;)

Only a day late and that is because I was fussing with yardage for starting another afghan yesterday and booing at the weather forecast that kept promising a lot of snow which I know will never materialize. If it snows, it really needs to be enough that I get a snow day or at least a work from home day.

So, totally hoping this was not the direction of this ride.  Can someone tell the operator I want off?  I went from working 3 days per week, to back to a normal shift with overtime. A few more weeks and they sent me home with all my hardware so my commute is down to 32 seconds.  Traffic still sucks, only now its dogs following me and complaining I am not sharing breakfast. This is what I have to put up with, I'm being judged for not sharing a banana.   We also have an afternoon dinner dance every day.  It starts around 2:30pm and dinner is served at 5pm.  Riley is perpetually starving and may die at any moment despite having plenty extra snacks stored on his fuzzy butt. Stitching has been moving along. I've got all the stitching in on Ambrosia honey and am now on to the beading and a few details. Beading is taking a while, I'm reworking how the beads are applied. The model piece photographed for Needlearts, the beads look jumbled and mes...

Its been a year, again. I see really good in spring and then life gets away from me and its a free for all.  With the current pandemic around the world, I'm spending a lot more time at home as you might imagine.  It took a few weeks but I finally found my way back to my needle and thread. Ambrosia honey has been possibly the most enjoyable of the current projects in the pile so I started there.  The starting point and a nice glass of wine because, COVID-19 I started a new job in December and I don't have quite enough tenure to qualify for work from home so I'm at the end of the list, for safety I've been working 3 days per week so they can limit how many people are in the office at once.  The upside to this for me personally was extra time to stitch. This is really fun to work on, despite there being a lot of compensation where the different designs run into each other. I don't mind compensation and it had been interesting to see colors that looked ter...
