Now on to the explanation of the title of this entry.....I have decided to start a second HAED design and wanted all new floss for it. As we all know Walmart is discontinuing their DMC and has it for 10 cents a skein. My wonderful hubby came along to not 1 not 2 but 3 Walmarts and helped me gather the colors I needed as well as quite a few others....This all happened yesterday. They didn't have them all so I completed my list at Jo-Ann's where they were 4/$1. He is a keeper and was having fun helping me! He really got into the hunt! So far as to separate the skeins at the register since they were insistent on scanning each one individually. He even went through the basket and put colors aside to check with me as to whether I needed those and was thrilled when he found a color I needed! At the second they were still in the carousels and he diligently read out the colors from my list so I could gather them up! When the 3rd store didn't have them he was genuinely disappointed! I do love him so! I know you want pictures of the 2 HAED's so here goes
Not the best pictures....the one on the left is Pumpkin Spice by Stacey Tippin and I just adore pumpkins in any form so I had to have it and naturally can't wait to start her. So tonight's the night right after sorting and bagging the floss. I have started Fairy Tea Party it's not much but here's a picture...
I have a few more starts as well. If you recall I did PR's Fairy Celebration in pinks and am now doing it in blues but facing the other way so that I can put them up facing each other. They will be framed the same! I have similar plans for Fairy Celebration 2. Here is the blue...
And to compare the two here is the pink one...
And I am so thrilled to have completed the first page of Cirque des Circles....
I always get the e-mails from Silkweaver for their solos but always miss out on them but last week I was on the computer when it arrived and still missed the first one I wanted but managed to get 3 others... they are so soft and pretty!
That's it for now and I promise to post again sooner. Oh and I changed my haircolor up a bit....It's still blonde but she added a full head of red lowlights so it's very strawberry blonde. I love it!!! I am grateful for my stitching and stash and the joy it brings me and of course dear hubby...........
