I went and spent a good bit of my piggy bank savings money on some fat quarters, a bit of Christmas yardage, clearance buttons and a roll of patriotic trim.
I was frugal and still have money left over though!
Nothing was tickling my fancy in the cross stitch pile that's labeled "want to stitch" so I dug through my stash and unearthed this great Trilogy kit called Frightfully Fun. It comes with fabric, a 32 count Natural Belfast Linen, Week's threads, and JABCO button. I seldom stitch with overdyed threads so I'm having fun with the changeup.
The Dresden blocks are now sewn together and waiting for borders to be created.
Lastly, Miss Molly hasn't been featured in a while. We've been spending a lot of time with the undercoat rake, covering the neighborhood in dog hair. Adorably gap-toothed.
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

You've got some piggy bank, what a great haul!
ReplyDeleteFrightfully Fun is a cute piece, the perfect time to start stitching it, and those blues look beautiful in your Dresden blocks.
Awe, sweet Molly.
Oo look at all the fun fabric! I seldom stitch with overdyes as well. I have a few and should use them but they look so pretty! Hoarding is an acceptable side effect of crafts, right...?
ReplyDeleteG'luck battling the undercoat fluffs! I think the cats have managed to coat our house in fur this year.
A perfect way to spend your piggy bank money! Love your new start! And Molly is just as cute as ever!
