Nice
Seeing everyone else buying stuff for their stash makes me feel less guilty about what I did the other day

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
That is very generous of you Mabel
Jo
I shouldn't tell Ok, ok, a couple of clues: I am back on my Peacock Tapestry and it is spring so I am spending more time in my garden, so think something challenging that combines both of those

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
I will remember when I next buy stash that I am doing it for unselfish reasons. I never knew that before, but it does make sense, in an odd sort of way.fccs wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 5:05 pmMabel, you are a true friend!!

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
Hello my name is Jo and I am a Stash-a-holic
Its just arrived: Peacocks and gardens as promised:
It is the same sort of size as my Peacock Tapestry and the Garden Sampler that Terresa Wentzler did.
Other than the rusty needle pinned through a scrap piece of aida is looks to be all there

Beautiful even just as a kit, let alone when stitched!

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
How on earth did I miss these beauties?
They are utterly yummy Mabel and I can't wait to see what you stitch with them, a certain Dodo perhaps..
As a fellow SABLE stitcher, I refuse to let anyone know the size of my stash, that would be classified informationSteam.Jo wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 2:06 pm Hello my name is Jo and I am a Sash-a-holic

Great find with that kit though Jo and yes it will go perfectly with your Peacock Tapestry.
Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
A couple of weeks ago I let someone see my 84L really useful box of "ready for stitching" cross stitch kits. She was somewhat overwhelmed by the number I had in there. Good job she did not turn round and see the real stash in the corner behind her

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
Together with the previous purchase, yes, they will hopefully produce two versions of dodo (as he is a mixed dodo/peacock he will be known as Do-Pea )

Fortunately my thread stash is hidden in a cabinet in my kitchen hutch and the overwhelming # of charts are in a few files on my computer (they are big files). Oh, I forgot the file cabinet in my office/computer room/ Rosey's room which is stuffed with charts.

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
Jo I love your new project, it will be great to watch it come alive under your needle and thread.
As for stash I am starting to see just how much I have/had in my big cupboard as I try to find places to put it all in my new abode.

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
I recently found these very useful floss drops on Etsy (made by a small UK supplier). They are made from MDF, very smooth and just the right size. They come with hinged rings to keep them on as well, although I haven't used those yet. The description says they're too small to write numbers on,but I found there was plenty of room.

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
Oooooooh, I haven't seen the floss drops before, very useful.
I think they may fall into the category of "I need these", not "I want these"

Re: 2022 Deliveries & Stash Acquisitions
They come in all sorts of materials (and shapes), from card to thin plastic, but I thought this MDF would be both sturdy and manageable, and they weren't too expensive compared to the card ones.
