Stitching and Stashing

I stitched on "My Needle's Work" a little more last night. I'm hoping to maybe get it finished up today. I finished listening to "The Other Boleyn Girl." It was so good and I really can't wait to see the movie now. I just started listening to "The Boleyn Inheritance." It's pretty good so far. It picks up almost where the other one leaves off.

My Needle's Work as of 3/9/08

When I was in Ocala I stopped at Brick City Cross Stitch and picked up a couple of LHN patterns that I didn't have.

I also had some fabric waiting for me when I got back. I got a fat 1/8 of Silvery Moon Cashel for Just Nan's "Memories." I pulled the DMC threads to see how they would look on it.

Carol is inspiring me to start this! Her wip is so pretty! :) Well, Matthew is fussing! Write later! :)

P.S. Many people have asked about my thread drops. I get them at my LNS (Silk Road Needlearts). I have also found them at Elegant Stitch. That is where I got my first set. I love them! No more winding on bobbins or dealing with baggies. Or you could make your own like Wawanna and Debby did. :)
