WIP and Favorite Needles

Work so far on my Spring Sampler...its getting there...slowly. I have had a bunch of orders to do,so
I can not spend as much time stitching as I would like.
I just love these needles...
They are all I will be using from now on..
Well....its almost Midnight...guess I better get to bed...
Enjoy Your Sunday...

New Patterns I just purchased and My Stacy Nash Club design that I did
not have time to stitch yet
My New French General Fabric
I Think I am obsessive compulsive when it comes to Scissors and Floss
Had to have the new scissors..and working on some pieces that use the silk floss I bought...
I especially love the new Vintage scissors  from Country Sampler and the Sweet Owl Scissors from
Anita's little Stitches
♥♥♥♥♥
Off to stitch a bit...Have a Great day..
