Well I had an unexpected stash trip to my LNS store yesterday, as we were all given the day off because our internet/email had gone down and couldn't get fixed until Friday. I don't get paid for the day, but did get to do some stitching stuff.
So I was bad and picked up a few more things... (forgive me for some of the bad photos, my B/F wasn't feeling good last night so I took the photos myself, so as always when I take them they are not the greatest).
This awesome green hand-dyed fabric for my believe tree (and I am substituting the thread as well to this hand-dyed purple sorry names are at home and I can't remember)
This cute button-up pattern and some basic Cashel Linen Flax (30 ct) for it.
And the next pirate pattern that got released... pirate queen from Sue Hillis Designs.
I also worked on my Love Pirate for a bit. Here is my progress so far:
And finally.... MY FINISH!
I got the last of the backstitching on my witchy ornament. I still love this green handdyed from Weeks Dye Works. It's just too awesome!
Here it is:
So I need to go on a bit of a stash diet as we fixed my B/F's car and need to pay off the costs. But have no fear I have LOTS to stitch and update you with in the next little bit for sure.
I am continuing to work on ducky, dragons, papillion SAL and of course my pirates.
Thanks for your lovely comments on my last set of WIP updates! You're all so nice! :)
