S.A.B.L.E.

Stash Aquisition Beyond Life Expectancy

Ok, I have officially joined this club.

Hold on to your hats.
 Here are my stash purchases and gifts during my 16 day holiday.
 You should be able to click on the pictures to see the designers and patterns.
There are some gifts in these pictures both given and received. 


                                                                    
                                                               
                                                             






















Can you tell I had fun? Do you think I need to buy another chart?

And if you are looking for the frog in this post - check out the pin on top of the 32 count linen.

Till next time

    Oh my goodness, you are going to be seriously busy Kathy! If you do nothing else but stitch for the rest of your life, I think you may get them all completed! lol. Love the new Mirabilia Santa and that lighthouse ceiling pull.

    Holy Smokes, K! Looks like you bought almost as much stash as I did during my tax refund blitz.

    I bet you had a blast!

    Impressive! And you didn't choose anything that I'd call a quick finish! Did you bring along an extra suitcase? lol But then who am I to talk with cross stitch stuff, yarn and fabric. SABLE here, too.
