No Willpower.

I wish I could say I resisted the silks for Bellemeade, but it was all I could think about. And my mom, my worst enabler, told me I should just get them because I wouldn't stop thinking about them until I did. Of course she was right! What's wrong with me that I can't resist a few silk threads?? This is what's wrong with me...



Pretty hard to resist, huh? I had to order a few spools that they didn't have because of course I couldn't wait for the thread pack to come out. I swear, I'm nuts!!

Anyway, I had a nice weekend with dh. We went up to his mom's on Saturday. I stopped at Nantz's Needlework and dropped off my package for my partner and picked up the one waiting for me...


Drawn Thread "For the Birds" and "Spot of Summer" with two NPI silks.

I had a gift certificate and a 10% off coupon from last month, so I got a couple things with them...


Drawn Thread Alpine Sampler with Smokey Pearl Belfast Linen.

I also picked up a grab bag of fabric for only $2, and a Prairie Schooler pattern...


Prairie Schooler D*E*F

So dh has left again and I'm a little down again, but I am doing much, much better than last week. I'm actually looking forward to getting some more stitching done on HoHRH.



I was so excited the girl from the Japanese blog left a comment and said that she is using 36 ct. Pearled Barley with two strands of DMC. Don't you just love our international stitching community? We all share a bond no matter where we are from! Well, that's all for now! Write later! :)

Just Nan "Bellemeade"

I Stopped by my LNS today (Silk Road Needlearts) after I dropped off my niece. They had the new Just Nan in. I think it's so pretty. The owner said that he should be getting the silks and fabric soon. When I got home I looked on the Silver Needle website and the thread pack is $117.50 and the fabric is about $13! I was thinking I could save over $130 if I just used the DMC and fabric I have at home. My problem is I'm a silk addict! Must resist the silk! :) Well, I'm doing much better today - no tears! Thank you all again for all your support!

Write later! :)
