Joan Elliott Bookazine

For those of you who are interested, Joan Elliott's Ulitimate Cross Stitch Collection is a great deal...

It has 44 great designs on color charts. I think I payed $25 or $30 at Barnes and Noble back in August. I think the charts individually go for $14!

Here is a link to Joan's Blog where she talks about it....

Helpful Hint: I put clear box tape over the parts of the pages you would place your hand on repeatedly. Otherwise the magazine ink starts to blur.

Great Deal!!!

Happy Stitching!!!

To Knot or Not to Knot?....Not!

Ok... I broke down and decided to try using beads instead of french knots. I bought some gold and black Mill Hill petite beads. Even though these beads are tiny I think they are still too large for the angel's eyes. We shall see...

I have been working on Guardian Angel from L&L. I am working on the white/cream colored lacy part of her dress. Can't wait to get that part done. I had been considering starting over but my faithful blog readers convinced me to finish and work out the spacing issues at the top. Thanks ladies!

I also have almost all of the supplies for Renissance Rose by Joan Elliott. I only need the floss now. Can't wait to start :-)

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I have 4 days off.. woo hoo! I plan to get some real stitching done and watch the Lions and the Cowboys play football. Of course helping make dinner and doing dishes too :-)

Happy Stitching !!!!!
