NEW STASH!! - Picture heavy & long!

I love new stash!  I splurged on new stash with a little of our tax refund and here are the spoils!  I bought Mirabilia "Autumn in My Garden" for myself over a year ago, but hadn't found the "right" fabric for it.  I was cruising Ebay and found this beautiful 32ct hand-dyed Lugana called "Queen Annes Lace" from HomeSweetHome Needlecrafts and I just knew it would be perfect.  I then converted the called for DMC floss to Vikki Clayton HDF and ordered those.  I don't know when I'll start this piece, but I fell in love with it the first time I saw it.  Here's the floss toss.

Next up we have LHN's "Patience" and "Love and Faithfulness" that I got from another stitcher at the HDF message boards.  I've started "Patience" as a birthday gift for my FIL.

These are my "carrots" from my HDF order....I just love the two on the right.

Now we have stash ordered from Down Sunshine Lane.  The first picture are all items from her BOGO/$1 pages with the exception of the ornament form.  I thought I'd try the form out as my "finishing" skills aren't all that great yet.  The LHN "Soft and Sweet" is intended for my granddaughter, "Trustworthy and True" for my daughter and SIL and "Strong and Beautiful" for my daughter.  The other pieces were also bought with the intent to be made for specific people, but I won't detail it here, because they sometimes read my blog.

DSL was having a special when I put in my order where you could order a "Mystery Box" for $30 and so I decided to chance it.  I was VERY happy! This first picture is some of what was in the box and what I intend to keep and stitch eventually.

This is the rest of the box that I will either end up posting for sale or possibly using for a giveaway.  I've never done a giveaway and I think it may be time.

If you made it this far, I'm thrilled!  Thank you for your visit to my blog and for any comments you leave. Have a great week!
