2019 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions

[Serinde]

New Year, new stash!

This will be our new thread for anything we want to share with others as far as items we buy or are sent to us in the mail or traded among members.

[Mabel Figworthy]

My retail therapy has arrived !

Here are the two kits in their well-presented little boxes:



And what's inside - the butterfly is a stumpwork kit, the bird is Jacobean crewelwork:

How pretty and how therepeutic they will be. I started with crewel decades ago I think, at least it has been decades since I stitched it. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Ooooohhh, they look fabulous Mabel.

I particularly like the butterfly and can't wait to see him come to life under your needle.

I hope you are feeling better by now

I did a huge amount of overtime at work over Christmas so last week (after looking to see how battered my accounts were after the festivities.. meh not too bad) I've treated myself to a kit I've had my eye on for the whole of last year which should be arriving over the next week, its by Medusa Dollmaker its called Mermaid, I'm currently stitching Gamer by the same artist which I'll update soon.
I have also put in 800+ stitches so far on my restart of Snow

[Mabel Figworthy]

What a lovely treat - enjoy your mermaid!

These are my very first acquisitions of 2019. I bought them used (but in great condition) off ebay.
The raspberry one is already started, but not too much, so it'll be fun finishing it.
By the way, aside from the bird, which came only as a chart, all of these are full kits.

[Podolyanka]

Great acquisitions, Sina!

The herbs could make a beautiful sampler, afghan or a tablecloth.

The bookmarks are oh so elegant. The birds and the sampler with scenes are asking to be stitched in the first rate. Can't wait to see your updates on stitching these wonderful designs. Happy stitching!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Great haul!

[wendywombat]

You did well there!!

Love the Birds!

[Squirrel]

You have certainly found a great collection of new kits and a chart to keep you occupied for some time to come. I am looking forward to seeing them being stitched.

[Mabel Figworthy]

My 64 silk samples have arrived - aren't they gorgeous ?
I'll enjoy playing with them!

[Garnet]

Oooohh gorgeous silks

How many times have you been stroking them so far?

It will be interesting to see what you have planned for them

[Mabel Figworthy]

How many times have you been stroking them so far?

You know me too well

[Squirrel]

Oh what great fun you will have with these Mabel. My fingers are itching to have a play with them.
