The last of my birthday stash arrived and since so many of you requested a peek I thought I'd share. I don't usually buy so much stash but it was my birthday and I felt like treating myself. I never worry about how much stash I am accumulating. I think of it as "saving for retirement." One of these days I will be on a limited income and will be glad I have so many fun projects to stitch. Hummmm, an investment in some 11 count fabric might be a good idea...as my eyesight will probably go before I actually run out of stash to stitch. ROFL
Bigger charts. Freakin' adorable.
Smaller ones.
Do you think I have a "thing" for Bent Creek?
Lizzie*Kate and Val's Stuff too. Notice how most of this is Halloween or Christmas? What I notice is that the majority of these charts were stitched by one of you recently. You shameless enablers!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Wonderful glorious Birthday stitchy stash.
Hope you had a great day!
Happy belated Birthday!!!!
Hooray for a birthday stash blowout! :D Wonderful designs!!
You've received some gorgeous stash there, I'm very envious lol!
This is about the fourth time I've seen the Silver Creek design, and I can't take it anymore, I'm adding it to my wish list now.
Great collection. You deserve a good birthday treat! They all look like so much fun to stitch. How many strands of DMC does it take to stitch on 11 count? I've never done it.
Wonderful stash enhancement!! Funny, I have for years referred to my obscene stash collection as my :"retirement fund". Maybe that says something about what we are looking forward to, ya think?
Awesome stash!! You won't be able to get any stitching done ~ you'll be too busy admiring your new charts!! Enjoy :)
Great stash, enjoy it & Happy Belated Birthday! You can never have too much stash, you never know when you might need a new project! lol I just came across that Bent Creek Halloween Branch set the other day, I love the Christmas & 4th of July Branchs. The new LK Halloween Rules is on my list as well!
Nice haul! I reassure myself by thinking that when we are retired, we can sell 90% of my stash as income and I'll still have more than I can stitch!
You've treated yourself in some beautiful stash, Sharon! What are you going to stitch first?
I hear you on the 11 count! :)
Lovely, lovely stash, I'm drooling over the keyboard. Reading other blogs is getting very costly for me too as everytime I see a gorgeous finished stitch, I want it too!!! Trying to track 2 more down today without much luck.
Enjoy it all xxxx
Looks like we have very similar taste in cross stitch. Enjoy all the new stash and belated happy birthday!
Lovely stash - it all looks like the perfect treat-to-yourself. I hope you enjoy every last chart!
I bought Halloween Rules too - except I went one step further and bought the fibres and fabric to stitch it too. :-)
hehehe enabling is such a good??? thing ..lol .. nice birthday stash haul there girl :) love mouse xxxxx
Belated birthday greetings, Sharon. I love those button up birdies!
I think you got some exceptional stash!
wow, you got some great stuff.......
have fun stitching in your golden years!!!!
Saving for retirement, hmmmm, I think I might use that too. :o) Fabulous stash additions - I especially love the LK Halloween.
Love all you stash! You might be right about the 11 ct...the old eyes can be a problem! :^)
I just invested in a magnifier for just that reason!!
Hope you had a Happy Birthday! That's some great stash enhancement going on there.
Nice stash enhancement Sharon!!
Isn't it funny that you don't know you NEED a pattern until you look at someones blog or finish then you HAVE to have it?? LOL Happends to me all the time!
Enjoy!
It is nice to know I am not the only one who keeps on buying.
Happy Stitching.

Fab new stash, enjoy it
Fantastic stash haul! I love all of it, and even saw quite a few that I have in my own stash! :O)
But I also saw a couple that I don't have that I just may need to get on my next shopping spree! You are an enbabler too!! Thank you!!!
Ooooooh!!! Nice stash!!!!
Oh, what great stash.....drooling....
You have very similar tastes to mine! Love what all you picked out and several are on my list too.
Can't wait to see them stitched up.

Great stash haul hun; I see we have the same taste in many of your charts. That's a wonderful way of looking at buying up on our stash; If you don't mind; I think I'll use that saying myself. LOL
Hugs, Shar
Happy Birthday, very nice stash I hope you have a super sweet birthday.

I agree...you can never have enough! You certainly don't want to run out either!
Belated happy birthday wishes... have fun stitching!
I love stash! I love stash! and looks like you got some really good stuff there. I love Bent Creek too :)Really like the VS ones too.
Happy birthday to you!

If I had any part in enabling you (which I'm not saying I did) I hope you'll forgive me. LOL!
Great stash. I've the Halloween Branch waiting in the wings. We should do a SAL.
What I noticed is that some of these patterns remind me of my stash. I sat here thinking, "Oh, our tastes are sooo alike!" But, there are some of your stash that I want!
Time for shopping!
Great Stash! Love the Button Up Birdies! And Happy Belated Birthday!!
Nice Charts!! :)
Will we get to see some of those halloween charts stitched later in the year?
Fabulous new stash! Love those Button Up ornie patterns. And I too am drawn to holiday patterns no matter what season :)
Thanks for sharing your birthday stash...and you deserve a little stash enhancement girl!
Love Bent Creek!!
Wow... fabulous haul! Happy (belated) Birthday!
Great Patterns, they are all going to be fun to do. With the way prices are its good to stock up now anyways.
Now that's some serious stash! You go GIRL!!!!!
I love it "saving for retirement" that can be my reason from now on for any stash I buy :-)

Great new stash.
Your birthday stash looks amazing. You will have such fun stitching it all I am sure. It would take me a lifetime to stitch all those!
Have a great weekend.

Wow ho many lovely stash...
Did you bought a second house, to put in in:)hihi
Awesome birthday stash....you deserve it. GMTA....I feel the same way about my stash. We could have glasses with lenses the size of milk bottles when we are old if necessary. lol
Whoo-hoo to new stash!!
Wow! Your birthday stash is amazing, Sharon!! I just love the Button Ups and the Halloween Rules(especially "Mind Your Mummy")--so cute! Looking forward to seeing what you work on first :)
Take it from me after being out of work due to illness for 8 months, your stash is a lifesaver. So keep buying!!
Congrats on the stash! :)
Teehee, love your 'saving for retirement' excuse, or should I say explanation?!! I'm definitely going to use that one from now on!
Wow, that's a birthday to remember! So glad you found so many goodies, I especially love all the fall/Halloween stash you got.
My thoughts exactly, I've been using that excuse for the past year now. Retirement here I come!
I love all your choices Sharon and yes I can see that perhaps I was guilty of being one of the enablers. Don't you just love it!
Well, I'd say that you're definitely all set for retirement. You got some great stash!
Fabulous birthday stash! I hadn't seen the Button Up Birdies before. Too cute, and going on my wish list!
And when will you sleep????? LOL!
Fun stash.
Hugs from Holland ~

Fabulous stash!!
Great stash!! So many cute ones!
Thank you very much for sharing! I stitched a Bent Creek design recently and really enjoyed it, I think I'll be stitching a few more of them in the future :) Hope you enjoy all of your new stash!
I've used that excuse for years LOL. Great stash, and I've seen some things in there that I have put on my wish list!
Awesome stashing!!! I'm drooling over here!! Heheheh. :)
You can never have too much stash. There are some lovely ones there
ROFL!!!! That might BE a good idea ;o)
GREAT assortment! I'm drooling :oP'''''''
Nice new stash!
Love all your new Bday stash :) I sort of noticed you had a thing for Bent Creek, LOL!
Isn't enabling fun? How else do we get to save for retirement??? LOL, I've gotta share that with my hubby.
Super stash to add to your 'collection'
WOW Sharon, you got some AWESOME stash! There's nothing I'd rather have for a gift than stash. I like your thinking about saving for retirement. LOL Hey, it sounds good anyway!
Happy Belated Birthday!
Most people save money for retirement - we save stash. Glad I'm not the only one! ;)
