New Stash New Thoughts

Hope your Sunday was great. Thought I would share my new stash,my Dinky dyes sewing kit,and a little Heart Fob I am working on..

New Stash lots of Nicoletta (NikyCreations) designs,a Little House A Stitchers Prayer, and a New Stacy Nash Design  Pins,Needles,and Scissors pattern, some linens, Hand dyed wools and new GA Threads

Also bought the Little Dinky Dyes sewing Kit for when I am out stitching somewhere.Sweet Little Red/White scissors come with the Kit.

And finally a Scissor Fob I am stitching from Shepherd's Bush Designs

"Safe Keeping Scissor Fob"

I decided I am going to take the time to stitch each day..its what I love

Its truly one of the few things that relaxes me, so  For whatever bit of sanity I have left..lol  and for my health I need that Blessing of  the time to stitch and relax. Having a website and two shoppes keeps me very busy, but I need to stitch. I honestly think its good for the soul, At least I know it is for mine!

Happy Stitching
