Here I am again , though still not a lot going on.
Whilst out shopping for my Sons' birthday presents , we went into Beale's (ex Co-op dept store) , and they also have a small craft/haberdashery dept. I managed to spend some of my birthday money on some new stash , as they had a good sale on some things.
I first saw this kit over a year ago , and really liked it . The colours are beautiful , and to see it at half price , well what's a girl to do but buy it ?
And then I saw this one . I love wolves ,and already have a few kits on my to do list , but again at half price , you just can't go wrong .
I really have been wanting to start this one , but can't just yet . My stitchy bug is intermittent at best and I have other things to do .
I found this book in a charity shop . It has a few charts that I like so I will stitch them and then it will probably find it's way back into the system ,lol.
The success of the bags is continuing . Both of my kids have decided that they want a bag with stitching on too , so when I have been in the mood ,this is what I've been doing. My son was very easy to please , he wanted snails . This chart is from an old copy of Cross Stitch Collection . Probably from around the late 90s' , but I can't say for definite as I just clipped out the pages .
No , I did not see into the future that my son would be a snail fan , let's just say that I kind of like them myself ,lol .
This was started first as it took my Daughter a long time to make up her mind what she wanted, she was coming out with list of about ten things , probably too much for one bag ,lol. I think she's now settled on flamingos, so that will be the next on the list.
I hope my stitchy bug comes back properly soon , I have so much to do !
Thanks for dropping by ,
Cath

What fun additions to your stash. Hope your stitching bug will be back soon!
Looks like some nice stash hauling. I love finding stash/charts/books at the thrift stores and then recycling them when I'm done.
The start on your snails looks great, I think they'll be very cute when they're done.
Lovely progress on your snails. Great new stash. I LOVE the venice scene.
Great bargains and your snails are coming along a treat
