Happy Stash Fulfillment Week!

Finally after weeks of waiting things started showing up in the mail this week.   On Monday my evenweave Addicts Box came in from HAED, here's a snap with a list of the goodies that came with it.

Woodland Guardian MC by Anne Stokes

Lincoln 14ct. Zweigart (summer khaki)

HAED fridge magnet

Bees wax house

Pink stone stitch markers w/ bag

Ship's manor cotton floss limited ed. (Cupid)

Valdani #12 pearl cotton (Distant Mauve - Med.)

Thankfully I added a note to my wish list on HAED so I got the chart I really wanted.  The rest of the stuff is OK, but I really hate the fabric they sent.  Khaki is so blawh and the stitch count being 14 I'll never use it.  On the other hand I love the ship's manor floss; it reminds me of cotton candy or sherbet ice cream.  This was a one shot for me; I doubt I'll ever spend my money on another surprise box.

 

Today my long awaited floss kit came from HAED along with a couple other goodies I got as well - A Stitch In Time/HAED mouse pad and a package of 5 John James Petite Size 28 Tapestry Needles. 

Plus a couple of unexpected gifts! - A glass bead needle threader and a wooden needle holder/tube.

A few other things that have come in the mail since May 1st -  A grime guard by StormbornBoutique for my 17x17 q-snap, two packages of  Easy-Count Guideline by www.rseasycount.com, one Mageyes hands free magnifier, and my 1yd x 1yd 7in fabric for my HAED chart "A Stitch In Time by Aimee Stewart".

 

Tomorrow I start surging the edges and gridding the fabric, hopefully I'll put in some x-stitches over the weekend for IHSW.

Getting my STASH Together...

Well I finally took the plunge, not only did I start a new blog (am I crazy or what?) but I'm collecting the materials to start my first HAED BAP (Big A$$ Project). All I have left to get is the floss and the fabric.  I plan to get the max color kit from HAED's website, but since that will cost well over $200.00us I will have to wait until they have another 30% off or greater online sale.  In the mean time you can see what I've got so far.  If you're interested in the coffee mug or just about anything else with the "A Stitch In Time" logo on it check out Society 6's website.

I have no idea how soon I'll be posting again or how often.  Well.... since I have decided to devote at least one full weekend to the projects on this blog - i.e. IHSW SAL, I'll have at least one post a month. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep this blog strictly for HAED projects or add some non-HAED projects as well.

Well that's it for this first blog post. Thanks for stopping by and please follow me!!
