Fell off the wagon with a bang!
Not that I was ever really on it, but I have been so good lately as far as not adding to my already over-flowing pile of stash. I tried, I really did, but in the end a good sale over ruled logic. Yesterday I ordered three pieces of fabric from J&Js A fat half of 40 count R and R Creme Brulee linen, which I plan to use for Paradigm Lost. A fat half of 40 count lambswool linen, which I’ll use for the Prairie Schooler alphabets. I’ll be using HDF silk for both of these - Blackberry for PL and I think I’ll convert on the fly for the PS project. I also ordered a yard of 25 count antique white Lugana, my fabric of choice for HAEDs.
Then I discovered Silk Weavers was having a sale on their Lugana Reflections, so I ordered a fat half of 25 count Sky for HAEDs Hope (the Selena Fenech one). Today I checked my e-mail and discovered that my order from Stitching Bits and Bobs New Year’s sale has shipped! Which means Cirque des Cercles will soon be in my hot little hands (along with a bunch of lovely threads to toss for Rhapsody in Blue)! Since I want to start this right away, I decided to go ahead and order the floss. And discovered that Wyndham is also having a sale. So I ordered the ten skeins of Fraises du Bois Waterlilies I need – hopefully I get at least one! I also ordered Anatolia by Ink Circles, Dutch Sampler by New Zealand Samplers, and the 2006 Christmas ornament issue of Just Cross Stitch (not on sale, but I had to have it after seeing the cutest ornament in someone’s blog over the weekend).
I might as well accept it, resistance is futile. Expect some more new starts from me in the near future.
