I'm gonna be busy
December 29, 2011
My family knows me all too well. My Christmas gifts were the tablecloth kits and yarn bundles below. My family had a little help purchasing these gifts, wink wink. I think they all thought it was pretty funny how giddy I was over my Christmas loot.
I also received two table cloth kits. This first one was found on ebay, total cost including shipping was $11! It's a 100% Belgium linen stamped cross stitch table cloth and came with the DMC floss.
The next table cloth will make you laugh. You know I've made a Christmas table cloth before so I hardly need another. But while doing research to see if my old cloth kit was still available, I found this new one on the Herrschner's web site and I fell in love.
Well, this ought to keep me busy for a while.
First, enough Rowan Alpaca Cotton for a tunic. |
Noro Taiyo, cotton and silk for a summer shawl. Love the bright pastels! |
I fell in love with Isager yarn when I made my Volt. A pullover and a scarf to match? Add some beading? |
Great yardage on Plymouth Mushishi for a shawl to wear at Christmas time. I need more red in my wardrobe! |
Noro Aya, cotton, silk and wool. A striped pullover combined with some white Calmer in stash. |
The cloth is a creamy ivory and the floss is like old brass which will work well in my dining room. |
It looks like the kit is from the 50s or 60s. |
The linen is high quality and the edging is beautifully done. Very happy with this! |
Had to have it. |
