Colleen made me do it


Acorn from Melissa Shirley


Snap tray by Carol Eix
I stopped by The Needle Works this afternoon for a couple of threads.  Look what Colleen made me buy!  Just kidding.  When I saw the acorn on Melissa Shirley's website, I instantly emailed Colleen at market to order me one.  I like anything with a tree of life motif.  The snap tray is to help me get organized and do it in a cute way.  I hope I don't go off the rails tomorrow when the Swans get together.

  4. Linda-I did have fun today and hope to have some fun tonight stitching. I was thinking that if I like this tray, I can get some more and keep each canvases and threads in one. Right now, it is all over the table next to my stitching spot. Off to make some progress on my Painted Pony Queen of Hearts.

  6. Steph, I love you acorn choice and the cool snap tray! I think the Melissa Shirley acorns that came out at market this year are some of her best. I also like your idea for a tray for each canvas. Thank you for your lovely posts!

  7. Thank you, Casey. I am itching to get started on my acorn. Looking through my books trying to decide on stitches. Keep checking back. I will post about the acorn ASAP.
