Nostalgic Floss – Kitted-Out 2 cross stitch patterns

By

I decided to use up some of my embroidery stash by finding patterns and kitting them out myself. I rather enjoy doing it this way.
Some years back, I inherited several skeins of floss. As I was sorting the floss, I thought there might be some I could use. I noticed something so nostalgic that it made my heart smile. The prices on the floss were 3/10¢, 5¢, 12¢. Ahhh, the good-old-days. 🧵🪡
I looked through my patterns in hopes of finding one I had all the floss required. I found two that I couldn’t choose between, so I kitted them both out.

I immediately liked “Snowball Glass by Maria Brovko” cross stitch pattern when I saw it way back in 2020. The big bonus was it was free.
I think “Flower Winter Bird Cross Stich by nathnolu ” is so charming. It was easy to find the pattern for sale.

Now when the mood hits to cross stitch, I’m ready for it. I wonder how long it’ll take me. Years perhaps or sooner. I never know about me.😁

Wishing you all good moods and happy crafting.

 

Well Shucks No Cross Stitch Kit

By

I was thinking about doing a new cross stitch project. I have plenty of floss and fabric, so no need to buy a kit.
I figured I’d find a pattern and kit-it-out. I’d have it handy to work on through this year. I planned to start on it tonight…
I found a charming pattern and printed it off. I sat down with my oodles of floss and soon discovered that for all my skeins, I was about 25 colors shy. And, in truth the fabric really needs to be blue instead of white.
Well shucks, no kit today…
Part of the joy of making the kit was using my on-hand supplies. I put my supplies away until I decide if and when I want to place a floss and fabric order and try to kit-it-out again.

Wishing you all success in your 2024 plans.

Random Few For Friday

Talk about late bloomers, my snowball bush has produced
one lovely fluffy pretty bloom.
It’s odd, I think, but pretty neat too.My herb garden has came a long way from when we first started it back in 2016.There’s nothing like homegrown tomatoes!
Yep, that’s the mantra this gardener gardens by. I’ve finished my ‘Joy In The Journey’ cross stitch.
I’m thinking I may make it into a wall
hanging instead of a framed wall picture.
I’m going to leave it on the frame until I decide.

I was surfing around for movies and surfed upon a 70 episode set of ‘One Step Beyond’. I’m familiar with the series from watching a few of the episodes on a video site. I didn’t realized it was based on true stories and was even aired before ‘Twilight Zone’ came along. That impressed me and as it was reasonably priced, I bought it. I’ve not watched but a few of the episodes on the first disc. I plan to watch through the episodes in order. I really enjoy the stories. The stories do give one cause-for-pause to ponder the odd events that happen from time-to-time.

Have a great weekend!
