Nothing like a little stash...


...to get that mojo flowing again. And when I say a little stash, what I mean is...yah, I went a little nuts. :P

I made my first ever trip to an LNS today! I hit the Lazy Daizy in Raleigh this afternoon and wow! How cool it is to have an entire store dedicated to stitching instead of a teeny aisle stocked with cheese.

I picked up a few charts - most of which were on sale and nice and small. I picked up a whole bunch (for me) of WDW and Sampler fibers that I'm totally in love with! I can't wait to dig into something new.


I've also made a bit of progress on my Dad's piece. I've stopped referring to it as my BAP, because it's not actually all that big ass compared to many of you ladies' projects!!

Long time no see!

I don't know what the reason is, but I have not been in a stitching mood at ALL lately! I haven't even been checking my favorite stitching blogs. I logged in to Google Reader today and found 72 posts waiting for me! So at least you guys have been busy. :)

I did pick the needle up a few times here and there but I haven't made much progress on anything. I've gotten a little done on my Dad's piece. And I cut and stitched the border for the gecko. I started sewing him on to the velcro for my son's backpack and I just couldn't make myself do it. I think I'll take him in to an alteration shop and they can just sew it on there for me. It won't be perfect, but it will be done!
